\u201cWe possess 1373 pages of Eugene’s class notes in his courses of Holy Scripture, Dogma, Moral Theology and Canon Law. The name of Mary appears in the treatise of the New Testament and in the one on sin. Among the one hundred and twenty-five pages dealing with the New Testament, about ten pages of notes are devoted to this subject. Mary is presented as being closely united to her Son. The virtues by which she is characterized are humility, a faith without the shadow of doubt and her attitude of meditating while keeping in her heart all that which she heard and saw with regard to her Son. In spite of his admiration for the Blessed Virgin, the professor characterized Mary and Joseph as \u201cunknown individuals\u201d and \u201cpoor\u201d. (Explications ou Notes sur le Nouveau Testament, p. 4, 12 and 15. Ms.: Oblate General Archives, DM-III 2b)<\/em><\/p>\n

In the treatise on sin, the professor posed the question as to whether Mary had been preserved from all sin. While letting his students know Louis Bailly’s opinion 25 that \u201cthe Blessed Virgin sinned […] in Adam,\u201d the professor clearly explained that Mary \u201cwas never touched by original sin\u201d. When Eugene was told that some men of genius like Saint Bernard and the Abbot Rupert opposed the Immaculate Conception, he observed:<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cWhat conclusion must we draw from this? That they failed to grasp the sense of tradition and that they made a mistake\u201d.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The future founder of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate certainly had his firm convictions! Today, we continue this conviction in our Rule of Life:<\/p>\n

\u201cWherever our ministry takes us, we will strive to instil genuine devotion to the Immaculate Virgin who prefigures God’s final victory over all evil.\u201d<\/p>\n

“So they hurried away and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. When they saw the child they repeated what they had been told about him, and everyone who heard it was astonished at what the shepherds had to say. As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart.” \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Gospel of Luke 2:19-20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
