JOYEUSES FÊTE DE SAINT EUGÈNE DE MAZENOD
FONDATEUR DE LA CONGREGATION DES MISSIONAIRE OBLATS DE MARIE IMMACULÉE.
Les paroles inspirantes de trois papes à propos de notre fondateur.
Le pape Pie XI nous a qualifiés de "spécialistes des missions difficiles ". Le jour de sa canonisation. le pape Iean-Paul II décrivit le fondateur comme "un homme de l'Avent, docile envers le Saint-Esprit dans la lecture des
signes des temps et dans l'assistance à l'œuvre de Dieu dans l'histoire de l'Église." Dans son allocution au 36e Chapitre général, le pape François a déclaré : " Le fondateur était un homme qui aimait Jésus passionnément et
l'Église sans conditions. Ces caractéristiques sont présentes en vous, ses fils. "

May 16, 2026, we experienced a moment of immense joy and spiritual grace during the celebration of the perpetual vows of two of our brothers. These profound and enlightening words are what I retained from the homily delivered during the Holy Mass.
1- True faithfulness is not founded on our abilities, our strength, or our presumed perfections, but on our weaknesses. It is precisely there, in our frailties, that Grace manifests itself.
2-Today more than ever, the world does not need teachers, but disciples: people ready to listen, to question themselves, and to walk with humility.
3-God is in me and I am in Him.
If this is our reality, then we must make this journey together, united with Him. Allow the Lord to enter our hearts and us into His. – let us allow this total exchange of love.
Let us pray to God to grant us this Dei* (the capacity to receive God), so that we may empty ourselves, die to sin, and live entirely consecrated to Him.

"I have called you friends." (John 15:15).
I am Just thinking🤔 about how the Creator of the universe didn't just accept us; He chose us🥰 . Friendship is an act of the will—a choice to love. And in that friendship, He gives us/me a blank check. We can ask the Father anything.
I often look at my sins and feel like a poor friend to Him. But Jesus doesn't look at my track record; He looks at me with the eyes of a Spouse and an Ally. Even when I am unfaithful, He remains at the door of my heart, waiting with infinite patience.
Congratulations to our dear brothers Chanel & Alphonse, OMI 🎉*
On Friday 1st may 2026, they professed their perpetual vows, and Psalm 139 was sung: _“I praise you, for I am wonderfully made.”_
Before they said “yes forever,” God had already said “yes” to them — He knit them in the womb, knew their struggles, their courage, their love for family and mission.
Final vows don’t make God love them more. They’re a response to the God who has _always_ known them, completely.
Now, these two “wonderful works” of God belong forever to Mary Immaculate’s mission — to the poor and most abandoned.
Brothers, may the One who knows you sustain you.
For those of us still in formation: may we trust that He’s doing the same wonderful work in us.
_R. I praise you, for I am wonderfully made._ 🙏

Do I Hear His Voice, or Do I Follow His Path? 🤔 💭
I was deeply moved by today’s Gospel. It made me question: If I can truly call myself a disciple of Jesus?
As Pope Francis once said, " ‘listening’ should not be understood in a superficial way, but in an engaging way..." (cf. Pope Francis, Regina Caeli, 17 April 2016). Bceause there is a big difference between hearing a sound and truly listening to a call.
So, in the Gospel of John (10:22-30), the Jews asked Jesus to tell them plainly if He is the Christ. Jesus answered:
“I told you and you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify to me. But you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”
It leaves me wondering: Do I really listen to the Good Shepherd to the point of following Him, or am I just hearing His voice without acting?
