She received Christ in order to share him with all the world, whose hope he is. (Constitution 10)
Mary, the first missionary! Throughout his ministry, Eugene shared his love for Mary.
Nothing is more precious for enlightened devotion than that which concerns the honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Here we meet all that exists in a son towards his mother. And what a Mother! She has given us him who is the world’s life and salvation, she has engendered all of us spiritually at the foot of the Cross through the sufferings of the passion and death of God Incarante, the blessed fruit of her womb; she is rightly called the new Eve and the co-re-demptrix of the human race.
Bishop Eugene’s Pastoral Letter to the Diocese of Marseille, 8 July 1849.
Mary, the first Christian missionary accompanies us to welcome her Son into our lives and mission every day
