À propos de ce contenu audio

 Journey back to 1841 and 1842 as Fr. Pierre-Jean DeSmet navigates the rugged and untamed American West, driven by a mission to share the gospel with the Flatheads. These Native Americans had sent numerous delegations from Montana to St. Louis, pleading for a Blackgown priest to guide them in their Christian faith. Fr. DeSmets heartfelt letters to his Jesuit Superiors reveal not only his extraordinary commitment and selflessness but also the trials he faced—fatigue, hunger, thirst, and dangers that echo the challenges of the apostle St. Paul. Alongside his spiritual quest, he offers insightful observations on geography, geology, and even a vivid account of a tornado, as well as the unique customs of the tribes he encounters. His deep respect and love for the Indigenous peoples resulted in thousands embracing his message and receiving baptism. Following these remarkable adventures, Fr. DeSmet continued his tireless missionary work across the West, covering an astonishing 180,000 miles in his unwavering dedication to the Indians and the Catholic faith. - Summary by Carol Pelster
