\u201cIt is the emptiness like the hollow in the reed\u2026which can only have one destiny; to receive the piper\u2019s breath and to utter the song that is in his heart.\u201d (Caryl Houselander)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Caryll Houselander captured this spirit when she referred to Mary as the \u201cReed of God\u201d through which the music of the Incarnation took flesh.<\/h3>\n

Mary\u2019s encounter with the plan of God\u2019s love for her had changed her life \u2013 just as Eugene\u2019s encounter with God\u2019s love had done. The Gospel of Luke narrates the response of Mary to the actions and words of her son: \u201cHis mother treasured all these things in her heart\u201d Luke 2:51.<\/h3>\n

Similarly Eugene, treasured the \u201cvirtues and examples of Jesus Christ\u201d and pondered them in his heart and in this way his \u201cinner vision\u201d would be a source of meaning and of transformation for himself and for others. He wrote in the first Rule of the Missionaries:<\/h3>\n

During the day we will also make \u2026 a visit \u2026 to the Blessed Virgin, to whom\u00a0we will all have a special devotion and great affection.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

1818 Rule, Part Two, Chapter One. \u00a75 On prayer and exercises of piety\u00a0<\/em><\/h3>\n

Today, Mary continues to be this missionary model :<\/h3>\n

We shall always look on her as our mother. In the joys and sorrows of our missionary life, we feel close to her who is the Mother of Mercy.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n
