THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT PETER JULIAN EYMARD The Apostle of the Blessed Sacrament Feast Day: August 2

"The Eucharist is the supreme proof of the love of Jesus. After this, there is nothing more but heaven itself."

Pierre-Julien Eymard, the founder of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, commonly known as the Sacramentinos, and the women-only Servants of the Blessed Sacrament, was born on February 4, 1811, in La Mure, Grenoble, French Empire. His father was a smith whose second wife was Julian's mother. Since childhood, he developed an intense devotion to the Virgin Mary and for the Eucharist.

Before his First Communion on March 16, 1823, he went on foot to the shrine of Notre-Dame du Laus. Later, he came to know about the apparition of Notre-Dame de La Salette and enjoyed traveling to various Marian shrines throughout France.

After the death of his mother in 1828, despite his father's opposition, he entered the Oblates of Mary Immaculate in June the following year. However, he was dismissed from the formation house because of a serious illness, particularly 'weakness of the lungs' and migraine headaches.

After his father's death in 1831, he succeeded – with the help of his former superior – in gaining admission to the major seminary of the Diocese of Grenoble, where he was ordained on July 20, 1834.

He was assigned as assistant pastor at the town of Chatte, and three years later appointed pastor of Mount Saint-Eynard, whose church and convent were completely dilapidated, and where only a few people were attending the Mass. With the help of his two sisters, Peter began refurnishing the convent and restoring the church.

Although Eymard is known to have revitalized the place, he was dissatisfied with parish work, and decided to join the Marists (the Society of Mary). His two sisters were quite devastated as they had dedicated their lives to serving him.

On August 20, 1837, aware of his religious vocation, he joined the Marist Fathers, where he worked as a well-respected spiritual adviser of seminarians and priests.

In 1849, after meeting in Paris the members of the Association of Nocturnal Adorers, he felt the call to establish a religious congregation completely dedicated to eucharistic adoration.

On May 13, 1856, the Paris bishops consented to Eymard's plans for a 'Society of the Blessed Sacrament'. He left the Marists and founded in Paris the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament. Two years later, together with Marguerite Guillot, he established the Servants of the Blessed Sacrament, a contemplative congregation for women.

He used to say: 'Religious life is not the end, religious life is only a means;' and also: 'You take communion to become holy, not because you already are.'

Eymard was a friend and contemporary of saints John Marie Vianney, Peter Chanel, Marcellin Champagnat, Blessed Basil Moreau and Pauline-Marie Jaricot.

Peter died on August 1, 1868 in his hometown at the age of 57 due to complications from a brain hemorrhage. He was beatified by Pope Pius XI on July 12, 1925 and canonized by St. John XXIII on December 9, 1962, his major shrine can be found at Santi Claudio e Andrea dei Borgognoni in Via del Pozzetto in Trevi. Peter named by St. John Paul II as the 'Apostle of the Eucharist'.

Peter is the patron of Eucharistic Adoration and Eucharistic Congress.

Saint Pierre-Julien Eymard

Lundi 2 Août

Saint Julien

Aujourd'hui un petit frenchie, un prêtre du XIXeme du diocèse de Grenoble. En vrai il sappelle Pierre-Julien Eymard. On va faire court on va dire Julien.

Pour changer dès son plus jeune âge il veut devenir prêtre, et pour changer son père n'est pas d'accord. Bah ouais, il a un commerce florissant d'huile d'olives et il aimerait bien que son fiston le reprenne. Bon finalement papounet meurt et Julien peut devenir prêtre.

Et puis un jour dans la basilique Notre-dame de Fourvière il a une révélation : c'est fou comme on s'en balek de l'adoration du Saint Sacrement (ce petit bout d'hostie dans un beau cadre en or qui représente Jésus) et franchement ça se fait pas ! Du coup il crée la Congrégation du Saint Sacrement, domicilié, et c'est cocasse, rue de l'enfer. Il est élu Supérieur à vie, tranquille. Bon par contre sa communauté est grave pauvre, lui-même se fait tej de sa maison qui se fait raser pour faire un boulevard. Rude.

Il meurt peu de temps après, en burn out de tous les problèmes de sa vie. Vous allez me dire c'est tout ? C'est tout mais c'est beaucoup ! Le gars a remis à la mode le Saint Sacrement et pour l'Eglise ça vaut largement une béatification. Eh ouais.

The man who gazes on heaven with a clear eye will see all the better the darkness of earthly things: for though these emit a certain kind of brilliance, the splendor of heaven darkens all their light. - Saint Ignatius of Loyola The Passion and the Trials of the Soul, by Saint Paul of the Cross A Month of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament: Mary's Adoration of Thanksgiving, by Saint Pierre-Julien Eymard A Year with the Saints: 27 October

Saint Emilina of Boulancourt



Profile

Joined the Cistercian Abbey of Boulancourt at Longeville, France when still very young. Noted for her deep prayer life, fasts, and austere, sometimes severe self-imposed penances such as wearing a pointed chain under her habit, walking barefooted throughout the year and fasting from food and liquids three days a week. Word of her devotion soon spread, and pilgrims came to consult her about holiness and prayer. She had the gift of prophesy, and sometimes prophesied about visitors before they arrived. She never sought honor or glory for herself from her gifts, but dealt with visitors humbly and patiently, always concerned with their conversion and relationship with God.

Distinguished Gentleman. Auguste Rodin was born in a poor section of Paris, France in 1840. Because of his nearsightedness, Auguste struggled in school, but seemed to find contentment while drawing. Largely self-taught up to the age of 13, he began his formal schooling at the age of 14 at Ecole Imperiale Speciale de Dessin et de Mathematiques, where he studied painting and drawing. For the next four years, he learned the basic skills of an artist. After Auguste was rejected entrance three times to the respected Ecole des Beaux-Arts, he left the world of traditional art and took a job as a craftsman, making decorative stonework. In 1862, when his sister Marie died from infection, it left Auguste devastated. Heart-broken and confused, Auguste turned to priest Father Pierre-Julien Eymard who encouraged Auguste to pursue his passion for the art of sculpting. For the next several years, Rodin struggled to support himself financially. He traveled to Belgium for work, and then to Italy in 1875, where he was profoundly impacted by the sculptures of Michelangelo. After he returned to Paris in 1877, he completed his first sculpture that would attract the attention of the art community. Rodin then accepted a job as a designer of vases and other ornaments for the home. It was because of these decorative works that opportunities to work as an artist opened up for Rodin, and in 1880, he was commissioned to create one his best works, The Gates of Hell. This sculpture, which depicts the first section of Dante Alighieri's epic poem Divine Comedy, was supposed to be completed by 1895, but Rodin worked on it for the last 37 years of his life. While working on this, he also created a sculpture which represents Dante at the Gates of Hell. This work is Rodin's most famous work, The Thinker. Auguste Rodin died in 1917, in France. He is remembered most for his sculptures, including the The Burghers of Calais, The Gate of Hell sand his most famous sculpture, The Thinker.
