He even referred to himself on one occasion as 'bete comme une oie' - 'silly as a goose.'<br /><br />After ordination he was sent to the tiny parish of Ars - a village in the middle of nowhere to which thousands eventually flocked and in 1925 he was canonised.

Don't look at the priest. It's best for concentrating on and showing reverence to Our Lord and avoids any human engagement at this most sacred moment. It also means a stubborn priest cannot attempt to intimidate or direct you into receiving Our Lord, in the hand or standing.

Tourists passing through make up a good number of the parishoners. A few weeks ago there was a scruffy looking young fella who approached the priest at Holy Communion - not the elderly lady in the T-shirt extraordinary. The guy locked his hands behind his back and had to do a sort of snake dance with the priest's hand before the priest admitted defeat and placed the Host on his tongue.
