I Will Show you Heaven by Fr. Michael Gurnick
God had every intention of using this saintly man St. John Vianney as an instrument of grace and as an inspiration for priests throughout the world. But his story is not only for priests. It is a story of a soul who fell in love with God and the fruit of that love, to this very day, impacts the lives of other souls. His story is what God desires for each of us - to love always, to pray without ceasing, and to bring others to Him.

The Curé of Ars has something to offer in response to each of these questions or concerns. Perhaps these comments will help you with your personal search, or aid someone you know who is exploring the possibility of priesthood.
