John was born in France during the French Revolution—a time when religion was forbidden. He desperately wanted to become a priest so he could help people to love God. Eventually he was ordained a priest, receiving the sacrament of Holy Orders. He was sent to the village of Ars, where a lot of people had lost their faith. He helped them to find faith again, teaching them how to live and love like Jesus. “Come to mass, and come meet Jesus,” he urged.
