A month after Pierre Fisette had left the Oblates and had gone to the Carthusian monastery, Eugene wrote to his former provincial in Canada:<\/h3>\n

The day before yesterday I received a letter from the Prior informing me that he is no longer there. Today I receive one from him giving the motive of his flight. So accustomed to be treated kindly by us, he could not endure the rudeness of this Prior who, on seeing him a second time, said: What! You are still here! I thought you had gone! He turned on his heel and left for good.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Pierre, still convinced of his vocation to contemplative life moves to the Trappists. Again, Eugene wrote him a letter of recommendation.<\/h3>\n

This poor child writes to say that he is on his way to the Trappists of Aiguebelles. May God accompany him since these journeys are not without great danger for him. I am immediately going to write a letter of recommendation to the Father Abbot.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Letter to Fr Bruno Guigues in Canada, 27 September 1847, EO I n 89<\/em><\/h3>\n

Father Fisette had finally found his vocation and persevered in the Trappists eventually being sent to establish the Trappist monastery of Staou\u00e9li in Algeria where he died in 1878<\/h3>\n

REFLECTION<\/strong><\/h3>\n

God of silence and God of all sound, help me to listen.<\/em><\/h3>\n

Help me to do the deep listening to the sounds of my soul,<\/em><\/h3>\n

waiting to hear your soft voice calling me deeper into you.<\/em><\/h3>\n

Give me attentive ears that begin to separate the noise from the sounds that are you;<\/em><\/h3>\n

you who have been speaking to me and through me my whole life, for so long that you can seem like background noise.<\/em><\/h3>\n

Today help me hear you anew.<\/em><\/h3>\n
