That was probably Good Friday, 1807, when during the adoration of the cross, Eugene finally accepted the “conversion” that was taking place in his life and fully opened himself to the love and goodness of Christ to whom he decided to dedicate his life. He was ordained a priest in December 1811. His dream: to be
“the servant and priest of the poor,”
the abandoned youth, the prisoners, the farm and domestic workers, all that had fallen into the cracks of society and the Church.
