📝 Key Lesson Snippet
Born in France, *Jean Marie Vianney* struggled so much with his studies that many people said he would never make it as a priest [01:04]. However, he trusted God's plan and persevered. He was sent to the small village of *Ars* [01:40], where he dedicated himself to prayer and simple preaching. His deep love for God and sinners drew people from all over France, who waited for days just to speak with him in the *confessional**. St. John Vianney reminds us that God chooses us not for our smarts, but for our love and willingness to **keep trying* [03:04].
