in his own words & works

The volumes contained here are collected works of St. Eugene gathered from his Letters, Spiritual Writings & Personal Diary. They provide a unique insight into his life, charism, thoughts and spirituality.

“Eugène de Mazenod, whom the Church today proclaims a saint, was a man of Advent, a man of the Coming. He not only looked forward to that Coming, but… he dedicated his whole life to preparing for it. His waiting reached the intensity of heroism, that is, it was marked by a heroic degree of faith, hope and apostolic charity. Eugène de Mazenod was one of those apostles who prepared the modern age, our age.”

–Pope Saint John Paul II
Homily at the canonization of Eugene de Mazenod, 3 December 1995
