Brothers in Christ, A call to fraternity in the diocesan priesthood. Father Tony writes: 'This book is written primarily for my brothers in Jesus Caritas Priest's fraternity.' As a diocesan priest, I had for years felt that I needed a spiritual resource. When you meet other members you can begin at once to think and talk together on a level that is deep, if you want to venture into personal matters, you can do so with confidence.' |
Charles de Foucauld in 1904-1905
His Chapel
In his diary for July 1904 Charles describes how, during a prolonged halt in Touareg country, he built a little chapel out of branches, with a cross on top of it. Inside, he pitched a tent; and at one end of the chapel, a simple altar with a tabernacle on it. “Sacred Heart of Jesus, thankyou for this, the first tabernacle in the lands of the Touareg ! May it be the first of many, and proclaim salvation to many souls ! Radiate out from this tabernacle on all those round about, people who surround you yet do not know you.” The radiant power of the Blessed Sacrament was, for him, almost physical. The overall impression you get from what Charles wrote at this time, and what other people wrote about him, is his intensity. His love for Jesus and his thirst to bring Our Lord to the Touareg, burned like a fierce fire.
