On January 28, 2026, as part of the requirements for completing the Marianist History Course for Novices, Society of Mary Novice Paul Pruski shared with NACMS staff a moving reflection on a pivotal healing of Blessed Chaminade’s foot and his pilgrimage that followed. Paul compared Chaminade's pilgrimage to Verdelais with Paul’s own impactful experience at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Paul spoke about how, even in times of great pain, we can always rely on our Blessed Mother to intercede on our behalf to her son, Jesus. We are grateful for Paul’s insight and look forward to his future contributions to Marianist spirituality.
