The great saints devoted their lives to the love of God and of others. Their fascinating life stories will help children discover the great adventure of holiness. Ever since he was a boy, John Mary wanted just one thing - to be a priest. After years of hard study, his dream came true. In the village of Ars in France, where he was sent, he devoted himself completely to his parish, celebrating Mass, restoring his church, ceaselessly hearing confession and offering God's forgiveness to people day and night. He who wanted to show souls 'the road to heaven' became the patron saint of priests throughout the world.
