The Holy Father hopes that all will follow the example of Blessed Charles who lived a quiet life influencing those around him in their ordinary and daily lives. Blessed Charles' Christ like example of desiring to be a "universal brother", revealed the importance of being close to the poor and abandoned, demonstrates the worth and dignity of humanity. "Each Christian must see others as a well beloved friend". In essence, for Blessed Charles, in loving others, one learns to love God.
