“A father’s communication with his many children… that is one of the most agreeable occupations of my life” 1857
I think of Eugene and his founding community sharing their first experiences of moving into the Carmelite house which was barely more than a hallway and a room. The beginning of an adventure which was to last them a life-time along with the many of us who follow them.
I remember finding myself at the knees of Albert Lacombe, listening to him share the story of his life. Is this not how we come together each day as we sit at the knees of St. Eugene and our brothers and sisters listening and sharing to the many adventures of our lives?
This is not a journey for the weak-hearted. My experience of that image of St. Eugene standing tall with his left arm pushing outward. upward and holding out the cross. The Cross – an invitation to new life. Each day an adventure – with only love and the cross as our banner and our staff.
