Father Eust\u00e1quio's presence remains alive and present in the hearts of many who knew him or have come close to his witness and his work. His tomb in Belo Horizonte, in the new Memorial Shrine of Health and Peace, continues to attract large numbers of people every day. Children, teenagers and young students, before or after going to the schools that bear his name, kneel or make a hasty sign of the cross saluting their beloved patron.<\/p>

In Belo Horizonte, in the shops and in many homes, we find his picture with that clear, firm and penetrating gaze. Grateful for the many graces they have received, parents honor the Blessed by naming their children Eust\u00e1quio, Eust\u00e1quia and many compounds such as Humberto Eust\u00e1quio, Jos\u00e9 Eust\u00e1quio, Maria Eust\u00e1quia, among many others. His living message expresses attention to the sick and the poor as the hallmark of a whole life lived following Jesus. A life of consecration to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary through daily adoration of Jesus in the Eucharist, thus nourishing its missionary ideal and communicating what it knows and experiences: God is Love! Fathers and mothers, or the sick and suffering all: the unemployed, people in need, but always full of faith, hope and gratitude cry out:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Father Eust\u00e1quio van Lieshout was born in Holland in 1890. A large and very religious family. Of the nine children, in addition to Father Eust\u00e1quio, two of his sisters also followed a religious vocation. His parents were Mr. Guilherme and Mrs. Elizabete.<\/p>


He was baptized on the same day he was born. In 1901, he received his First Communion and was confirmed in 1904. Nearing his 15th birthday in 1905, he entered the seminary of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

St. Damien inspires his missionary ideal<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The youth of his region were impressed by the heroic witness of their fellow countryman from the Brabant region, which is divided between the south of Holland and the north of Belgium. The family homes of the two missionaries are just over 110 km apart. From an early age, the future Father Eust\u00e1quio was familiar with his adventures and heroism, but as a teenager, reading the life of St. Damien of Molokai enchanted him so much that from then on his great dream was to be a missionary like the \u201capostle to the lepers\u201d. In 1915, the young Eustace professed the Vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience, becoming a religious of the Sacred Hearts like his hero: St. Damien of Molokai. In 1919, he was ordained a priest. He served the People of God in Holland in various missions. He distinguished himself to such an extent that he received a commendation from the King of Belgium for his services to Belgian refugees during the First World War.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In 1925, his missionary ideal was realized. He was one of the three founders of the first community of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts in Brazil, in Romaria, in Tri\u00e2ngulo Mineiro. From 1925, the first three religious of the Sacred Hearts settled in the towns that at that time belonged to the then Diocese of Uberaba: Father Gil van den Boogaart, Father Matias van Rooy and Father Eust\u00e1quio van Lieshout, who was the first parish priest and builder of the new Shrine of Our Lady of the Abbey of \u00c1gua Suja, in the present-day town of Romaria-MG. In 1926, they founded the Regina Pacis School, in Araguari-MG, and in 1927 the Dom Lustosa Secondary School, in Patroc\u00ednio-MG. The first directors were Fathers Gil and Matias respectively.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Father Eust\u00e1quio lived in Romaria-MG from 1925 until 1935, also serving the parishes of Indian\u00f3polis-MG and Ira\u00ed de Minas-MG. He built the current Shrine of Our Lady of Abadia da \u00c1gua Suja, and was transferred to S\u00e3o Paulo under protest from his parishioners. The parish priest was held in such high esteem among his faithful that when he was transferred, they besieged the parish house and blocked the town's roads by tearing out the cattle guards. Even so, in order to fulfill the new obedience he had received, he set off on foot until he crossed the boundaries of \u00c1gua Suja.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Vicar of Po\u00e1\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Father Eust\u00e1quio was parish priest in Po\u00e1-SP from 1935 to 1941 in the parish of Our Lady of Lourdes. Like Jesus, the Good Shepherd, he gave his life for his parishioners: a special affection for the sick and suffering. He built a grotto in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes and provided holy water mixed with water that he himself had brought from France on his pilgrimage to Lourdes during his vacations in Holland in 1935. Father Ven\u00e2ncio Hulselmans, SS.CC., his companion and first biographer, recounts in his 1944 book \u201cO Vig\u00e1rio de Po\u00e1\u201d (The Vicar of Po\u00e1) that \u201cthe parish work continues with the greatest regularity, because the pilgrims were only looking for holy water and nothing else. Father Eust\u00e1quio comes and goes without the slightest difficulty; he goes with the parishioners to Aparecida do Norte, takes them as usual, to adoration at the Church of Saint Iphigenia, in short, he does everything he used to do, without attracting any special attention. Gradually, however, with the growing fame of the water, which brought health wherever it was used, the pilgrims no longer contented themselves with taking the water, but wanted to see the priest, talk to him, ask him personally for a blessing, both for themselves and for the water. Kind by nature, Father Eust\u00e1quio attended to one and other in the drawing room. The stories of illness and misfortune he heard moved his always compassionate heart and, consoling and comforting, he always ended with a personal blessing, advising the use of the holy water.\u201d In Po\u00e1-SP, there were reports of \u201cmiraculous\u201d healings that caused a huge influx of people. The small town couldn't cope with the large number of faithful who came to see him every day. In the same book by Fr. Ven\u00e2ncio, we can find \u201ca quick collection of \u2018cures\u2019 sent by beneficiaries to Excelsior Radio in S\u00e3o Paulo:<\/p>

1) Eu tinha uma ferida na perna muito dif\u00edcil de sarar, j\u00e1 tinha um ano e me do\u00eda muito. Eu j\u00e1 tinho ido ao m\u00e9dico e j\u00e1 tinha posto muitos rem\u00e9dios. Mas Deus me ajudou e eu ouvi falar nesse querido padre de Po\u00e1, levantei de madrugada e fui tomar o primeiro trem que para l\u00e1 ia. Era cinco e meia da tarde e ainda n\u00e3o tinha chegado o meu n\u00famero, era de 10.000. \u00c0s seis horas eu entrei e ele disse: lave com esta \u00e1gua e reze a S. Jos\u00e9. Vi instantaneamente um grande milagre, gritei a todos de minha casa para que vissem o grande milagre recebido de Padre Eust\u00e1quio, com a vontade de Deus.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Exile<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The solution found by his superiors was to remove him from the parish from May 13, 1941. The civil and religious authorities ordered his exile to a farm in the city of Rio Claro-SP, and the change of his name to Father Jos\u00e9, which he accepted in obedience and humility. Once again he was discovered, the farm, invaded by hundreds of people, and the situation became increasingly difficult. Discovered, he began a pilgrimage to various places such as Campinas-SP, Rio de Janeiro-RJ, and S\u00e3o Paulo-SP. His charisma and gifts, the strong call to conversion, his courageous preaching and the ritual blessings of healing attracted crowds. \u201cThe Vicar of Po\u00e1's\u201d reputation for holiness spread throughout the country. The uncontrollable situation even became a public health and safety problem wherever he went.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Father Eust\u00e1quio was banned from all the major centers in Brazil. He could live in one of the Congregation's houses in the countryside. His refuge became the priests' convent in Patroc\u00ednio-MG, at the then D. Lustosa Secondary School, from October 13, 1941. The chapel of Saint Lucy was his field of work, but with serious restrictions. Attendance and blessings were only in the confessional, where he spent seven to eight hours a day. Without complaint, Father Eust\u00e1quio accepted all the conditions. In Patroc\u00ednio, he experienced a new spirit. But he only stayed there for four months, from October 1941 to February 1942. He himself wrote in December 1941:<\/p>

\u201cI went to the retreat and I was fortunate to be able to care intensely for my own soul and to recommend in a special way the intentions that so many people ask me for. Thanks to the good Lord, every day I see some conversions. People who, for years and years, lived far away from God and the Church, I see returning to the arms of our Divine Master. How shall the Heart of Jesus overflow with joy! And I feel no less happy with so many spiritual resurrections. Winning souls, relieving pain and suffering, that is my great ideal, inspired by God!\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

The Congregation of the Sacred Hearts was called to take on a new mission. The superior, Father Gil, believed that the new mission required someone like Father Eust\u00e1quio and appointed him to Belo Horizonte-MG as parish priest. Before leaving for the capital of Minas Gerais, he was sent as a temporary parish priest to the town of Ibi\u00e1-MG, where he didn't even spend two months, but he planted the project for the Holy House that today bears his name. After his arrival in Ibi\u00e1, the whole of Arax\u00e1, S\u00e3o Gotardo, Campos Altos, Tiros, Pratinha... came looking for him.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Welcomed by Archbishop Ant\u00f4nio Cabral, he arrived in Belo Horizonte on April 7, 1942. In May 1943, he presented the model of the future Church of the Sacred Hearts to the community. It was only 16 months of intense apostolate from the chapel of Christ the King, in the old parish of S\u00e3o Domingos, the future parish of the Sacred Hearts. The demand from the people was three times greater than the chapel's capacity. In order to organize the event, it was necessary to distribute tickets using a numbered card.<\/p>

\u201cFather Eust\u00e1quio went to Belo Horizonte as a reject, nobody knew where to put Father Eust\u00e1quio. He went to Belo Horizonte with the obligation not to work miracles.For God there is no such thing. He did work them... changed street names, neighborhood names, church names, everything... see what a person marked by God is like! Father Eust\u00e1quio, with his 'Health and Peace', reached every family, from JK (Juscelino Kubitschek, then mayor) to the simplest and poorest of Christians\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

His funeral was a veritable triumphal march. The burial was the beginning of an apotheosis. His tomb in Bonfim Cemetery continued to be visited by the faithful. A constant pilgrimage to his tomb and the construction of the church he designed began immediately. In the 'Livro de Tombo' (heritage book) of the Mother Church of the Sacred Hearts one can read the annotation of August 30, 1944:<\/p>

first \u201canniversary of the death of Father Eust\u00e1quio, the first vicar of the Sacred Hearts parish. Three Masses were celebrated for his soul, attended by thousands of people. The people spontaneously went in large masses to the Bonfim cemetery where his remains are located. The priests, in accordance with the Archbishop's wishes, did not organize a pilgrimage. \u201d<\/p>

The construction of the Church of the Sacred Hearts became a reality and the people affectionately began to call it \u201cFather Eust\u00e1quio's\u201d church. Once part of the church's construction was finished, the religious's remains were exhumed and transferred to a tomb inside the church in January 1949.<\/p>

Later, in 2007, a beautiful memorial was built as an annex to the church. In the center is the tomb with Father Eust\u00e1quio's relics and the stained glass windows depict moments from his life and history. The place has become a point of reference for devotees. In 2014, the church built by the priest was elevated to Sanctuary of Health and Peace by the Metropolitan Archbishop of Belo Horizonte, Walmor Oliveira de Azevedo.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
