\u201cMary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: \u2018I have seen the Lord!\u2019 And she told them that he had said these things to her.”<\/strong><\/em> John 20,18<\/p>\n

Mary Magdalene was the first to recognize that Jesus was risen and she rushed to tell the \"\"<\/a>disciples who were fearfully isolated in the upper room. \u201cI have seen the Lord!\u201d she proclaimed. Initially incredulous, they too began to experience that Jesus was alive.<\/p>\n

As a result of the French Revolution the people of the countryside of France were locked in their ignorance of their faith. Eugene de Mazenod had recognized the presence of the Risen Jesus in his life, and he dedicated his life to proclaiming \u201cI have seen the Lord!\u201d to those who were the most needy of coming to know the Risen Lord.<\/p>\n

Inviting others to enter into his life of proclamation, he founded the Missionary Oblates, and insisted that their time be divided between \u201cseeing the Lord\u201d in prayer, reading and reflection and the proclamation, \u201cI have seen the Lord!\u201d whom they had encountered in this way:<\/p>\n

The Missionaries will divide their group in such a way that while some strive in community to acquire the virtues and knowledge proper to a good missionary, others are travelling in the rural areas proclaiming the Word of God.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\u00a0When their apostolic journeys are over, they will return to the community to rest from their labours by exercising a ministry that is less demanding, and to prepare themselves through meditation and study for a more fruitful ministry when next called upon to undertake new work.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In these days when so many of us are in isolation, let us use this time in a similar way so that each day we too can proclaim \u201cI have seen the Lord! He is risen and alive for me!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
