Father Eust\u00e1quio left a legacy of love, faith, and devotion wherever he went. Whether in the cities where he served for long periods as a parish priest or vicar, or in the cities where he only spent a short time.<\/p>\n
One of these brief stays was in Patroc\u00ednio, in the Alto Parana\u00edba region of Minas Gerais. The Dutch priest arrived in the municipality in October 1941, but left the city in February 1942. Even in such a short period, the Blessed One left a great mark on his parishioners.<\/p>\n
These marks can be seen in the beautiful work of the poet Fl\u00e1vio Jos\u00e9 de Almeida, who wrote several poems inspired by Blessed Father Eustace. Below is one of these poems:<\/p>\n
He went in through that door.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n In a white cassock, tall and strong, It was nightfall on that Saturday, He was tired from the long journey. Inside the church, which was almost dark, The first visit was brief.<\/em><\/p>\n Then they went to the Gymnasium. Along with the other priests, his compatriots, Eust\u00e1quio van Lieshout, Even though he was a chaplain On February 12, 1942, he left for Ibi\u00e1., Patroc\u00ednio still feels his presence today.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Padre Eust\u00e1quio deixou um legado de amor, f\u00e9 e devo\u00e7\u00e3o por onde passou.

\n<\/em>accompanied by Vicar Willibrordo Meeder,
\n<\/em>Father Eust\u00e1quio entered through that door.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/em>October 11, 1941.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/em>That day he arrived in Patroc\u00ednio.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/em>conducive to the deepest silence of the soul,
\n<\/em>He knelt and prayed at the feet of Saint Joseph.,
\n<\/em>saint of his devotion and revered
\n<\/em>the image of the patron saint,
\n<\/em>supported on the main altar.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Dom Lustosa, where he would be staying,
\n<\/em>And a delicious soup awaited him.,
\n<\/em>made especially for him
\n<\/em>by master chef Father Caprasio,
\n<\/em>then in charge of the cafeteria
\n<\/em>from the school.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/em>was able to converse in Dutch,
\n<\/em>Everyone was happy to have dinner together.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/em>still anonymous among the residents of Patroc\u00ednio,
\n<\/em>He wore a white habit,
\n<\/em>white cord around the waist,
\n<\/em>white scapular
\n<\/em>and on the chest the scarlet emblem
\n<\/em>of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts
\n<\/em>of Jesus and Mary.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/em>in the church of Saint Lucy,
\n<\/em>He entered through that door several other times.,
\n<\/em>humbly, hungry for prayers
\n<\/em>in the solitude of his fervent spirit
\n<\/em>unwavering, inhabitant of the unfathomable
\n<\/em>God's silences.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/em>and then to Belo Horizonte, where he arrived
\n<\/em>on April 7th of that same year,
\n<\/em>He stayed there for only sixteen months.,
\n<\/em>until the day of his death,
\n<\/em>on August 30, 1943.<\/em><\/p>\n
