He was admitted in the seminary of the diocese of Carcassonne. On the 22 December 1838 Br\u00e9sillac was ordained as a presbyter for the diocese of Carcassonne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From his very young age Br\u00e9sillac had a great passion for local clergy. Regarding this writing to his friend Luquet he said, \u201cIt is a long time since the good God (for I cannot believe there is any other origin) gave me the sentiment of the native clergy: I may say that it was born with me, and I remember that still quite young, when I heard people speak of the works of the missionaries, and that, quite naturally, I compared them to what I found in my summary of saintly life or of the acts of the apostolic centuries, I wondered why we do not do as they did at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the beginning of his call to the priesthood Br\u00e9sillac had a great desire to become a missionary. Br\u00e9sillac\u2019s passion for a local Clergy developed simultaneously as a vision for mission. Therefore, he joined the Foreign Missions of Paris (MEP) which had the same goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his resolution regarding local clergy, we find his mission statement, which he made before going to India: \u201cTo use every means I have, all my strength, all my study and effort to contribute towards the formation of a native clergy. And it is there that I implore your blessings especially, O my God.\u201d Br\u00e9sillac saw a missionary as an Apostle and missionary activity as building local church. In another passage we read what Br\u00e9sillac really saw as the true mission of an Apostle; \u201cA mission is not a Constituted church. The missionary is not a pastor. To make priests, to make bishops, to plant real churches- this then is the true mission of the Apostle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Br\u00e9sillac accomplished this goal in a particular way as the superior of the Seminary College of Pondicherry and as the Vicar Apostolic of Coimbatore. In a very notable way he contributed to the establishment of local clergy as a father of the Pondicherry Synod which in its turn made a great effect in the universal Church through the instruction <em>Neminem Profecto <\/em>given by Propaganda on the 23<sup>rd<\/sup> November 1845.\u00a0 Br\u00e9sillac never gave up his goal regarding the formation of local clergy even when he had to resign his office as the Vicar Apostolic of Coimbatore and leave India. He <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>continued his missionary journey in Africa as the Founder of the Society of African Missions. Unfortunately, he died in Freetown on the 25<sup>th<\/sup> June 1859, within few weeks of his arrival in Africa. However, the mission the Lord started in him continues through SMA to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On May 27, 2020 Pope Francis signed a decree on the \u2018Heroic Virtues\u2019 of Br\u00e9sillac. Therefore, now our founder is Venerable Br\u00e9sillac. We pray that the Lord may hear the intercessions presented through him and grant a miracle which would help in the process of Br\u00e9sillac\u2019s beatification.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melchior de Marion Br\u00e9sillac day Melchior Marie Joseph de Marion Br\u00e9sillac was born on the 2nd December 1813, in Castelnaudary, France.\u00a0 Br\u00e9sillac believed that the inspiration to priesthood was in &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bulletin","category-news-announcements"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.2.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>June 25 - 12th Sunday in ordinary time - Missione Madre Dei Cristiani<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/madredeicristiani.org\/index.php\/2023\/06\/24\/june-25-12th-sunday-in-ordinary-time\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"June 25 - 12th Sunday in ordinary time - Missione Madre Dei Cristiani\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Melchior de Marion Br\u00e9sillac day Melchior Marie Joseph de Marion Br\u00e9sillac was born on the 2nd December 1813, in Castelnaudary, France.\u00a0 Br\u00e9sillac believed that the inspiration to priesthood was in ...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/madredeicristiani.org\/index.php\/2023\/06\/24\/june-25-12th-sunday-in-ordinary-time\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Missione Madre Dei Cristiani\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-06-24T08:59:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-06-29T21:03:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/madredeicristiani.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Chasuble-for-MDC.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"2367\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Fr.
