This is the picture that will be presented during the canonization at Saint Peter’s Square. An icon is not only an artistic work but the representation of a person or of a mystery rendered visible in a spiritual way. Praying before an icon, painted according to specific technical and theological norms, we can deepen our knowledge of the mystery of Christ.

In this icon we contemplate Saint Marie-Eugénie. She is standing on the earth that she loved as the place of the Incarnation of the Son and the place wherein humanity can render glory to the Father.
She holds in her hands what she was passionate about: the proclamation of the Gospel, transforming force, and Christ in the mystery of the Eucharist, the mystery in which all the earthly realities are transfigured and offered to the Father.
Marie-Eugénie allowed herself to be led and molded by the Spirit. Her tranquil visage and her deep gaze reflect the splendor of the fulfillment of the mystery of the Assumption in her.
This icon was ‘written’ by Sister Celine, an Italian Religious of the Assumption.

The Religious of the Assumption have entrusted to the agency ‘esprit-photo.com’ the task of photographing this icon. All who want to make use of this icon should address themselves to:
