August 4th:
Feast Day of the Cure d'Ars, Saint Jean Marie Vianney, Patron Saint of Priests On Priesthood: When people want to destroy religion they begin by attacking the priest; for where there is no priest, there is no sacrifice: and when there is no sacrifice, there is no religion. On Priesthood: Without the priest, the passion and death of our Lord would be of no avail. It is the priest who continues the work of redemption here on earth...What use would be a house filled with gold, were there no one to open its door? The priest holds the key to the treasures of heaven: it is he who opens the door: he is the steward of the good Lord; the administrator of His goods...Leave a parish for twenty years without a priest and they will end by worshiping the beasts there...The priest is not a priest for himself, he is a priest for you.
