Photos of the Curé D'Ars

Terry at Idle Speculations has posted a collection of photographs of the Curé d'Ars after he had died in 1859.

The photographs were taken by Camille Dolard using the wet plate collodion process invented by the Englishman Frederick Scott Archer. They are kept at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris.

1859 sounds closer to the mark!

I think you will find he died in 1859, not 1959. Otherwise, a stunning picture!

How very devoted Cure D'Ars was to the Holy Eucharist. Two quotes of his particulary made me reflect

"All the good works put together do not equal the sacrifice of the Mass, because they are the work of men, while the Mass is a work of God".

Do not say that you are not worthy of it(the Eucharist). It is true: you are not worthy it, but you need it."

I am always happy to receive corrections. the number of such reflects the fact that I was out for much of yesterday and did not get round to the blog till midday today.
