The writings of Eugene de Mazenod that I present each day reflect the many tasks he was involved in: Superior General of the Oblates in France and Canada, the one responsible for the personnel, mission, and community life of all the Oblates and at the same time, bishop of the second largest diocese of France.<\/h3>\n

Separated from his missionaries in Canada by the Atlantic Ocean, he was particularly concerned to maintain the God-given spirit and mission of the Oblates whom God had led him to found. Faithfulness to this charism would ensure missionary success. It is clear in this letter to Father Guigues, the new superior of the Canada mission.<\/h3>\n

Nothing you might tell me could bring me more pleasure than the witness you have rendered to the good dispositions and virtues of all our Fathers. I pray God that he keep them in this attitude of mind that you have recognized in them. It will enable them to do wonders everywhere they are sent.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

The first superior had been Fr Honorat, who had done his best to establish the new mission, but who had suffered from many difficulties and obstacles.<\/h3>\n

I expected nothing less of Father Honorat than the good example he is giving. No one has ever rendered more justice than I to his religious virtues. The burden that I was obliged to impose upon him was too heavy for his shoulders. Now he is relieved. In his new post, he will do well. It should be the same with all the others.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n
