Eudes was an ardent proponent of the Sacred Hearts and dedicated himself to its promotion and celebration; the Masses he compiled for both Sacred Hearts were both first celebrated within his lifetime.
He preached missions across France, including Paris and Versailles, while earning recognition as a popular evangelist and confessor.
