Charles de Foucauld
Journey of the Spirit
By Cathy Wright, lsj
Called “the man who turns religion into love,” Charles de Foucauld followed a winding path to his heart’s true desire. After early years of wrenching loss, rebelliousness, unbelief in God, reckless adventure, and the unbridled pursuit of pleasure, Charles experienced a profound conversion where he met God’s mercy and love. Transformed, he devoted the remainder of his life to seeking “ Nazareth,” which ultimately meant following Jesus in humility and prayerful solidarity with the Muslim people of Algeria.
In this book, Cathy Wright gives us more than a compelling portrait of the new Blessed, offering keen insight into some of the major themes of his spirituality.
