On the way to first parish mission of St Eugene de Mazenod

To commemorate the bicentenary anniversary of those significant events (Lenten sermons in Aix and work in Le Puy-Sainte-Reparade in 1813) that were not only a great success of the young priest but the moment that laid foundation for the establishment of Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate I  decided to walk the way Eugene made to Le Puy-Sainte-Reparade. The 20-kilometer-walk through the countryside of Provence took me just over 3 hours but it was a great prayer and meditation for me. If I am an Oblate today it is because Eugene heard the cry of the poor of his time longing to come to know
Jesus. If I am an Oblate today it is because Eugene de Mazenod committed himself to responding to that cry.
I would like to invite you to go with me on this way from Aix-en-Provence to Le Puy-Sainte-Reparade. However don’t just admire the view but reflect on a young priest from the nobility who was seeing the poor being neglected by the Church of his time and asking God what to do with that. When St Eugene was walking that track he was doing lots of thinking and praying.
Bon voyage!
