Letter to M. Antoine Garnier, 26 July 1829, EO XV n. 160<\/em><\/p>\n

During his time of convalescence, Eugene, maintained his responsibility for the welfare of the Oblates and their mission. Unable to do so in person, he sent Fr Tempier to spend time with each Oblate and to be his representative and mouthpiece. In preparation for this official canonical visitation, he sent some instructions.<\/p>\n

Fr. Jeancard, who was with Eugene during his convalescence wrote to Tempier to communicate Eugene\u2019s instructions to him. The sample below shows Eugene\u2019s concern for a balance between being respectful by not being intrusive while, at the same time, not ignoring any necessary corrections to the practical aspects of the missions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Very Rev. Father bids me say to you:<\/p>\n

1\u2019 – that your visit of the houses of the Society must be general, without excepting that of the novitiate;
\n2\u2019 \u00a0\u00a0that you must give warning several days before your arrival amongst those who dwell in these houses;
\n3\u2019 – to make few rules or none at all;
\n4\u2019 – to show yourself as strict concerning the finances\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
