Since Father Eust\u00e1quio arrived in Brazil, his fame as a missionary of health and peace grew. Wherever he went, he was sought out by thousands of people who sought his prayers for healing from illnesses. With the testimony of hundreds of graces received, the name of the blessed man reached more and more people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When he was in Po\u00e1, S\u00e3o Paulo, the small town couldn't accommodate the number of people seeking the Dutch priest. Faced with the daily increase in people, in May 1941, civil and religious authorities decided that Father Eust\u00e1quio needed to be exiled to avoid the overcrowding of those seeking him. He was sent to a farm in the city of Rio Claro\/SP, and his name was changed to Father Jos\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Father Eustace accepted the change, demonstrating obedience and humility. In a letter written by the Blessed to his superior, he recounts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs for the hiding place, I believe one could not find a better one! I see no one, nor hear anything here. I hide myself as much as I can from the outside world, but if, even so, Your Reverence foresees difficulties or deems it necessary that I go abroad, do not hesitate to send me. I am not afraid to die either on land or at sea, but I wish to die as a priest. I have no attachment to anything \u2013 not even to my patients, for I can always pray for them. However, I submit myself in advance to whatever the authorities decide concerning me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n But the exile was short-lived; once again, Father Eust\u00e1quio was discovered, the farm was invaded by hundreds of people, and the situation became increasingly difficult. From then on, the Blessed One lived a true pilgrimage, passing through Campinas-SP, Rio de Janeiro-RJ, and S\u00e3o Paulo-SP, until he was transferred to Patroc\u00ednio\/MG, where he arrived in October 1941.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Desde que Padre Eust\u00e1quio chegou ao Brasil, a fama de mission\u00e1rio da sa\u00fade e da paz foi crescendo.
