Memorial of Saint John Vianney

Matthew 14:1-12




*Friends, today we honor St. John Vianney, the model and patron for
diocesan priests. We need priests, for without priests there is no
Eucharist, and without the Eucharist, there is no Church. St. John Paul II,
in his final encyclical, stated this as clearly and boldly as possible:
Ecclesia de Eucharistia (the Church comes from the Eucharist). Priests are
the descendants of those first disciples who sat in intimacy with Jesus
himself, watching him at close quarters, learning his mind and heart,
summoned to work for the coming of the kingdom. Priests participate in
Christ, precisely in his capacity as head and shepherd of his
people.Priests are called “father,” for that is what they are. They give
life in the spiritual order. Look to the example of St. John Vianney, who
spent hours in the confessional and in the pulpit; to St. Maximilian Kolbe,
who offered his life with the words, “I am a Catholic priest”; to Fr. Gary
Graf, a Chicago priest who gave part of his own liver so that one of his
parishioners might live. They do all of these things because they are
spiritual fathers, life-givers in the spiritual order. *
