A Heart on Fire

"I want to run to Paris, through the halls of the Sorbonne and other universities, crying out 'Fire Fire The fires of hell engulf the whole world Come, esteemed doctors, come holy fathers and clergy, help us extinguish this fire ... Souls perish by the thousands for lack of those willing to reach out to them."St. John Eudes was a missionary to those most in need of mercy, an evangelist to fallen-away Catholics and an educator of priests. He is often portrayed with a heart on fire in his hand, because his life was driven by a burning love for the people of God.In this short biography, we get a clear picture of who the man, John Eudes, was and what he did with the zeal burning in his heart and soul.
