Part 6
Some people think that spiritual childhood means abandoning ourselves so much that all we have to do is let Jesus do the work. We wouldn’t have to make any effort.
Others think it’s a natural disposition for some people.
Still others think it’s holiness for the little ones, for those who aren’t very capable! The example of Blessed Eugenie will show us how wrong such conceptions are.

Part 5
The most beautiful fruit of spiritual childhood is undoubtedly the soul’s total trust in God. Indeed, the most repeated advice in both the Old and New Testaments is: “Do not be afraid”, “Take heart”. Jesus taught his apostles through his life and words.
Event in Rome on May 14, 2025: “Evangelize by example.”
A beautiful evening dedicated to the extraordinary testimony of Blessed Eugénie Joubert, “ardent catechist,” in the Roman parish of St. Pius X, in the presence of young people preparing to receive the sacrament of Confirmation, their catechists, parishioners, and pilgrims.
Part 4
Blessed Eugénie had the heart of a pure and simple child. Looking back over her life, she reflects a radical purity.
She clearly expresses the link that exists between the virtue of simplicity and spiritual childhood: ‘Being a little, tiny child, keeping simplicity and making it grow in me’.
We want to draw close with her to this source of purity and simplicity that helps us grow in spiritual childhood and bears such beautiful fruit!
Part 3
The life of Our Lord Jesus is the most beautiful model of the importance given to little things. For thirty years of his life, he did little things with great love… aware that in doing so he was participating in the salvation of the world.
Blessed Eugenie gave importance to little things because she saw in them a gratuitousness directed towards God alone.
Let us follow her in her fidelity to little things…
Part 2
Humility is like the good soil in which spiritual childhood can take root.
Blessed Eugenie wanted to become a disciple of Jesus and also took her model from the Virgin Mary.
She sought to uproot all pride… Let us follow in her footsteps, to follow the Lord.
