Despite Father Bermond’s reaction, his presence was needed in Canada, and Eugene informed him of his imminent departure.<\/h3>\n

I do not share, my dear Father Bermond, the misgivings you have manifested to me. So do not be afraid, my dear friend, to respond to the appeal of our Fathers in Canada. Your departure is fixed for the 9th or 10th of July.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Come to Marseilles as soon as possible. We will have time to converse with each other… I abjure you, my dear friend, to put aside at this juncture any human consideration and especially to repulse anything in your memory which may trouble you. In the name of God, let your heart soften and be at rest, assured as you are of the esteem and affection that have never been wanting in mine, whatever you may have believed.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Let us be worthy of our great vocation and go forth in the name of the Lord who will see to our recompense… On your voyage you will have for companions Father Mulloy and another Oblate and angels will preserve you, the while they gladden you along the way with (the song): Evangelizantium bona…<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Writing to Father Guigues, the Oblate Superior in Canada, Eugene gave a positive picture.<\/h3>\n

Father Bermond has excellent qualities. Father Vincens was very pleased with him at Osier and gave me a testimony of him that is most consoling. Show him confidence and friendship and I am sure that you will be satisfied…<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Letter to Fr. Eugene Guigues, 6 July 1845, EO I n 57<\/em><\/h3>\n

Indeed Father Bermond did do good work during the 14 years that he remained in Canada. He did cause certain difficulties in his relationship with some Oblates, but we will see this later.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
