Unfortunately I was not able to join the pilgrimage from the Oxford Oratory to Oscott to venerate the heart of St John Vianney the other week, but friends who did go spoke of the sense of devotion there and appreciated the opportunity afforded by the visit of the relic, which was arranged by the Bishop of Shrewsbury.

As today is the feast day of St John it seems appropriate this year to post a picture of the heart in its reliquary, to reflect on his role as an exemplar of priestly ministry and to pray for the continuing intercession of the Curé d'Ars for all parish clergy.
