Obverse: Servant of God, Eugene de Mazenod, Bishop of Marseilles, Founder of the Congregation of the Missionary Oblate of Mary Immaculate.
Reverse: Eugene de Mazenod was born in France on August 1, 1978. In 188, he was ordained priest and five years later founded the Congregation of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate which now numbers some 7000 members. Named Bishop of Marseilles in 1837, he fully realized the episcopal motto which he had chosen: He sent me to preach the Gospel to the poor. As he lay dying on May 21, 1861, he said to the Oblates about him: Practice amongst yourselves charity, charity, charity... and zeal without for the salvation of souls. Many favours have been attributed to his intercession and the cause of his beatification was introduced at Rome on January 15, 1936. Novena. O Heavenly Father who by the grace of Thy Holy Spirit inspired Thy servant Eugene de Mazenod to send forth missionaries under the banner of Mary Immaculate to preach the Gospel amongst the poor, increase our charity, we humbly pray, so that our love for the Blessed Virgin and our desire for the salvation of souls may resemble his. And grant us, we beseech Thee, through his intercession the special grace which we ask in the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen. NIHIL OBSTS. Nicolaus Ferraro, S. R. C.Adsessor. Fidei Sub Promotor Generalis (die 23 Nov, 1955) Kindly notify an Oblate Father in your vicinity, or the Reverend Father Postulator of any favor obtained.Context
