I used to desire it, but now I see so much good to be done, so many souls without a shepherd, that what I most want is to do a little good and work a little for the salvation of those poor souls. Still, God loves them far more than I do and doesn't need me. May his will be done. There s nothing really wrong with me, but the summer wears me down. I get feverish spells sometimes, headaches, sleepless nights. Nothing that lasts and nothing severe. It will go away when the hot weather does, in five weeks. I'm leading my usual life, but getting less work done. <span class='read-more'><a href="http://www.jesuscaritas.info/jcd/en/quotes/working/1141" target="_blank"><strong> read more »</strong></a></span> Loving People with Brother Charles Working with Brother Charles Sun, 02 Sep 2007 19:44:24 +0000 JC Administrator 1141 at http://www.jesuscaritas.info/jcd Islam shook me deeply http://www.jesuscaritas.info/jcd/en/node/1088 Islam shook me deeply.

My apostolate must be an apostolate of goodness. On seeing me people should say to themselves, since this man is so good, his religion must be good. And if I am asked why I am so gentle and good I must reply, because I am the servant of the One whose goodness is still greater. If only you knew how good my Master Jesus is! <span class='read-more'><a href="http://www.jesuscaritas.info/jcd/en/node/1081" target="_blank"><strong> read more »</strong></a></span> Charles de Foucauld Living with Brother Charles Sun, 02 Sep 2007 19:30:07 +0000 JC Administrator 1081 at http://www.jesuscaritas.info/jcd This is the path of union http://www.jesuscaritas.info/jcd/en/node/1082 If I were able, but I am not, to do otherwise than to loose myself totally in union with God’s divine will, I would want to choose for myself complete lack of success and perpetual solitude and failure in everything. This is the path of union with the lowliness and the cross of our Beloved God, which has always seemed to me desirable above all other ways. <span class='read-more'><a href="http://www.jesuscaritas.info/jcd/en/node/1082" target="_blank"><strong> read more »</strong></a></span> Charles de Foucauld Living with Brother Charles Sun, 02 Sep 2007 19:30:07 +0000 JC Administrator 1082 at http://www.jesuscaritas.info/jcd The person who lives by faith http://www.jesuscaritas.info/jcd/en/node/1084 The person who lives by faith is full of new thoughts, new tastes, new judgements.
