In 1830, he was at Notre-Dame du Laus and worked with Father Guibert preaching missions. On April 7, 1830 Father Guibert wrote the Founder that \u201cFather Capmas has achieved a complete grasp of the nature of these missions. His preaching is appropriate for the general population and for the learned as well. His zeal is untiring. He stops at nothing. I have often been obliged to temper his enthusiasm and to take some palliatives.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
For Jesus, all disciples who use their time and talents to make him known as loving Savior, are wonder-workers.

Wonder-workers in our everyday lives \u2013 the Savior\u2019s wonder-workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
