Pau, 24 May 2018 - The Congregation celebrated the extraordinary event of the 150th anniversary of the transverberation of the heart of St Myriam of Jesus Crucified at the "St Michel" community of Pau, which took place on May 24, 1868 in the hermitage "Our Lady of the Mount Carml”. A triduum of preparation helped highlight the great significance of this event.
On the first day, the Superior of the Bayonne Major Seminary, Fr Philippe Beitia, gave a speech on transverberation; this was followed by a candlelight procession on the site where this event took place 150 years ago.
The following day, Friday, the Vespers were solemnly celebrated in the chapel of the "Saint Michel" house of Pau, followed by a vigil of praise, in which the small choir "St Michel Garicoïts" and the Emmanuel community entertained the assembly with songs based on the message of charity and humility offered by Mariam.
On Saturday, after the morning prayer and the sacrament of reconciliation, Fr. Jean Luc Morin SCJ, Regional Superior presided the Eucharistic celebration in the church of Sainte Thérèse.
The triduum ended with a convivial event.
