[Music] There are some stories that never end; they continue throughout the centuries, mysteriously intertwining. This story starts in Lyon, France, and

travels through Rustrel into the enchanting Provence. It's really beautiful here.

Wow! There are steps going up. Yeah, you're

right. I think we can go that way. Gosh, it's really beautiful here, isn't it? Yeah, let's see now. The guidebook says that

Rustrel is famous for its Colorado Provençal.

Yes, an amazing place with multi-colored cliffs. That's for sure.

And visitors are fascinated by its beauty. It's really impressive; truly incredible. [Music] [Music]

It's a beautiful day. It says here in 1846, Pauline Jericho, a wealthy businesswoman from Lyon, built a large

plant here to provide employment and a life of dignity to the workers and their families. [Music]

Look, it's marvelous! There's also these over here, you see? Yes, lentils; and they're over there as well.

[Music] Oh yes, you're right. It's beautiful. Yes, it's quite suggestive. Look up there; that's what they used to

hold on to. Yes, just look at how beautiful it is. Yes, it sure is. Yes. Yeah, let's go.

[Music] So... [Music] But she was unable to resolve their financial difficulties. [Music] [Music]

[Music] [Music] Hello! Oh, hi. How did you make out?

Fine, thanks. Um, I spoke to my professor about wanting

to research the story of Pauline Jericho, and he was really interested in Pauline's uniqueness

and he told me to dig deeper into the history of her factory. That's just what you wanted; you've always been interested in finding

out more about her. Yeah, that's right. I'm curious about Pauline; her name was Pauline Jericho.

Oh, wait a minute. No, it is her! I knew I'd come across her sooner or later. My grandmother inscribed it.

Claire, live your life like she did. Live like a dove, totally free. Pauline Jericho was born in Lyon on the

22nd of July 1799 into a family of silk merchants who were deeply devoted to the Church.

What else is there? Ah, in the autumn of 1819, Pauline created a type of organization

that brought together practical health and spiritual values, aimed at raising awareness about overseas missions. But here it says nothing about the factory.

Where is it? Um, I can't see it. Oh, here it is. The factory had been running for eight

months with a hundred or so workers who also lived on-site with their families. But that means the factory is just the

end of the story. What are you saying? Well, that's just a part of Pauline's history. Okay, I'll buy that, but

let's go out. Come on. Are we going or not? Yeah, yes, of course. I'll worry about Pauline tomorrow. Well,

hurry up, we're late. Ah, thanks. Okay, thanks. Okay, let's go. [Music] Sure. What are you thinking about?

I was put on this earth to love and take action. What is that? Is this somebody? You let someone know that's something, Pauline?

Jerry Costello, that's enough! Let's go and have some fun, huh? Okay, you can think about Pauline later.

[Music] [Music] So [Music] Good morning. Good morning. Excuse me, is this Pauline's house? Of course, my dear.

Um, would it be possible to have a visit? Of course, please come in. Thank you. We have a tour guide on hand. I'll go and

call him. Please wait here. Thank you. Good morning. Ah, good morning. Is it possible to visit the house? But of

Course, follow me. Thank you. It would be a pleasure. Ah, is that her there? Pauline, the daughter of wealthy silk merchants.

She had a happy childhood, surrounded by the love and faith of her parents. When she was just 15 years old, she came down

with a severe illness, and at the same time, the death of her mother caused her much suffering. Once, after she heard a sermon on vanity

in the church of Saint Nichire, she radically changed her way of life. She decided to dress in a simple manner,

like the common workers, and began to serve the poor. And as such, that moment was the beginning of a new adventure for her.

This is the rosary room. Ah, it's beautiful in here. [Music] Have a look. Her writings are rather

poignant, even now; they are still very relevant. Go forth where people live, struggle, and suffer; call them on to

it's no use preaching only in the churches. Go to the families, go where people gather together, and tell them that God is waiting.

It's beautiful; it's magnificent. Thank you. [Music] Claire, live your life like she did; live like a dove, totally free.

[Music] Hmm. Go forth where people live, struggle, and suffer. [Music] Pleased to meet you. I'm Father...

My name is Claire. I am looking for the place where Pauline Jaricot made her... made her promise to God. Yes, was this the

place? Yes, it was here. Here, in the Christmas of 1816, Pauline consecrated her life to Jesus.

From here began her journey and her mission throughout the world. Father, there's a plaque here. What do you mean, there is a plaque here?

That's Pauline's plaque, surrounded by lots of others. I know that she loved to travel, and I

really loved to travel as well. Well, no, her real journey was within herself, in search of truth.

[Music] I feel very much at peace here. Yes, this is an extremely sacred place and very important on a global scale. The statue

of the Virgin Mary. And what about that? What's that called?  That is the Blessed Sacrament.

Well, thanks again for the visit. It's a pleasure. You're always welcome here. Thank you. See you again.

Um, [Music] Excuse me, Father. Yes, um, I was wondering if it's possible that you could hear my confession. Yes, of

course. Of course. Please, let's sit down. Tell me. [Music] [Music] Um, I was thinking I would like to help

others, not just here in Lyon, but also in Africa and in China.

You know, many people dedicate their lives to the missions. Well, here I have a lot of friends and

in Lyon I could help people in a more practical way. [Music] A butterfly's wings can cause a tornado

on the other side of the world. You know, a small action of love here can have the effect of a tsunami.

Come with me. I'm so happy that you're all here. It's been such a good time. Thank you. Thank

That's kind. Thank you. Thanks. With lemon, is that okay? Yes, that's right. It's fine.

Perfect. Thanks. Clara brought back some cakes.

Yes, I went earlier. It's hot. So, Claire, you said you had something to

Well, you're right, I have. Do you remember when I spoke to you about the overseas

mission? Well, I was wondering if you'd like to help me.

Yes. And well… well, I was thinking first I'd like to

read you something written by Pauline Jericho. Um, she said, 'The poor are God's true favorites; they bear His mark and His

Compassion, God's love, grants worth to the smallest of actions. What does that really mean? Yes, well, in fact, this Pauline Jericho

rolled up her sleeves and got busy, giving everything she had to others and to the overseas mission. And this helped

to make her life okay. And how do you think we can do that? Yes, do tell us. Well, we could actually

if we all agree, we could uh, start by helping people who are poor. It might do us some good as well.

Well, I think we could help Olivier, that homeless man who... yeah, our house could do. Yes, yes, why not?

We could take him in, but as well as helping him, we could help all the homeless people in the neighborhood. Yeah.

That's right. Did you know that Pauline had even bigger plans? Yes, she... she wasn't just thinking about her

neighborhood or her own friends. She chose 10 people, and each of them chose ten more, and each of them made a commitment

to pray and give a penny each week for the missions and other things. It was like the ripples made by a small

pebble thrown in a pond. Yes, that's right. It's a bit like crowdfunding, isn't it? Yes, more or less.

Like we can do that, can't we? Create a website. What do you think? Yes, we could take care of social media,

Instagram and Facebook and the rest. Very good. Yes, great. Have you got some ideas already? Yes, I have a few. Great!

Thank you, Olivier, by being here you helped me to connect with Pauline. Good morning, Olivier.

All is well. [Music] [Music] So [Music] the curate of ours used to say to her,

leave it in God's hands, your work will grow. [Music] Hello girls, it's been a while. Yes, it has.

Is the crowdfunding coming along? Yes, yes, yes! You're about to say that it's going really well.

Look, see here! Look at this! Take a look! Oh, it's not even crazy! Isn't that amazing? Yeah, that's amazing!

We have reached three times our goal! Two days to go! Yes, it's really going very well, girls! Wow, great!

Girls, these are for you. It's the Mission Rosary.

[Applause] [Music] Here's the number. Hello? PMS? Hello, am I speaking with the...

Pontifical Mission Societies? Yes. How can I help? Um, hello. Um, my name is Claire Desanjang. I recently organized some

crowdfunding for the mission overseas, and Father Phil Constance, who is a priest from the Basilica of Fourvière,

said I should give you a call to find out about your latest initiatives. The best thing would be for you to come to

our office in the center of Lyon, Rue de Sala, number 12.

Ah, that'd be great. So I'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye, and thank you.

You're very welcome. See you tomorrow. Uh, excuse me. Yes, uh, could you tell me

how far is the Sanctuary of Songea? At a steady pace, it's about 10 Hail Marys.

Ah, here. You will need this. Have a nice vlog. Take care! [Music] Me [Music]

[Music] We were right here. Do you remember? But so many, so many things have changed.

Well, this is right where our friendship with Pauline began. [Music] That's true. Your professor will be happy.
