“Every Christian must be convinced of his fundamental and vital duty of bearing witness to the truth in which he believes and the grace that has transformed him.” (St. Pope John XXIII)<\/span><\/h3>\n

In France, Eugene knew all the Oblates and they had no doubt about his affection for them as the father of a missionary family. He had never met the Canadian Alexandre Tach\u00e9 but wished to assure him that he was a loved member of the family, even though they had never met.<\/h3>\n

Reverting to the subject of Brother Tach\u00e9 whom I have not yet come to know, I await from him a little letter showing me his handwriting for in lieu of the person, it is something to see some lines traced by the hand of one we cannot see, but whom we already love by virtue of the admirable union of charity which makes all of us but one heart and one soul. I enjoin you earnestly, my dear son, to express to him all the sentiments which you know me to have for the children the good God has given me.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

As members of the Missionary Oblate family, Fathers Aubert and Tach\u00e9, had a particular lifestyle to live.<\/h3>\n

As of now, you only form quite a small community. No matter. Conform yourselves to the Rule as much as you possibly can. Although you are only two, nothing prevents you from doing several things in common: your morning and evening meditations, your office, your examen. You will thereby accomplish a duty and those who live in the house of the Bishop will be edified. Remember that wherever you are, you must always be what you are.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Letter To Fr Pierre Aubert, St Boniface Canada, 21 February 1846, EO I n 61<\/em><\/h3>\n
