Saint Charles de Foucauld
An early life of wrenching loss, unbelief, and rebellion preceded Charles de Foucauld’s unlikely journey to holiness. After an encounter with God’s mercy, he devoted his life to seeking “Nazareth.” Charles’ search led him to follow Jesus in humility and prayerful solidarity with the Muslim people of Algeria, making him a prophetic witness of communion today. Author Cathy Wright, a Little Sister of Jesus living out the spirituality of Charles de Foucauld, offers a moving portrait of this twentieth-century saint.
