Novena preparing Fr Marie-Eugene’s beatification

From November 10th to November 18th

I am made to lead souls to God.

Father Marie-Eugene often spoke about the Holy Spirit. He would encourage his listeners to get to know Him, to call Him to stand next to us, to ask Him for light, love and strength. In 1964 he affirmed: “We need our own Pentecost and the Church also needs a certain Pentecost, for all time-periods, at all the turning points of her history” (Talk given on September 3rd). In 1965, exhausted by a pneumonia, he felt the need to share the secret of his life. Among the things he confided we hear this sentence:

I want to ask for the Holy Spirit for you.
