The Icon of Saint Marie-Eugénie of Jesus, March 21, 2007
The picture in the left column is the icon that will be presented
during the canonization ceremony at Saint Peter’s
Square.
An icon is not only an artistic work but the
representation of a person or of a mystery
rendered visible in a spiritual way. Praying
before an icon, painted according to specific
technical and theological norms, we can
deepen our knowledge of the mystery of
Christ.
In this icon we contemplate Saint Marie
Eugénie. She is standing on the earth that
she loved as the place of the Incarnation of
the Son and the place wherein humanity can
render glory to the Father.
She holds in her hands what she was
passionate about: the proclamation of the
Gospel, transforming force, and Christ in the
mystery of the Eucharist, the mystery in
which all the earthly realities are transfigured
and offered to the Father.
Marie Eugénie allowed herself to be led and
molded by the Spirit. Her tranquil visage and
her deep gaze reflect the splendor of the
fulfillment of the mystery of the Assumption
in her.
This icon was ‘written’ by Sister Celine, an
Italian Religious of the Assumption.
The Religious of the Assumption have entrusted to the agency ‘esprit-photo.com’ the task
of photographing this icon. All who want to make use of this icon should address
