Jesus Caritas

The whole history of the foundation is summed up in these few words: God took me by the hand, and blindly, I followed, in what seemed the most total darkness and in the most disconcerting absence of human means but with unlimited trust in Jesus as all-powerful, Master of the Impossible.  read more »

I assure you, the world needs love. I want to love every person throughout the world. I want to scatter sparks of love to the four corners of the earth.  read more »

In face of the hatred and anger of the world we must bring the gentleness and the smile of the Infant Jesus of Bethlehem. In face of the pride of the world we must bring the littleness and powerlessness of the tiny new born baby of the crib...

Be a tiny baby in the Lord's hands. Close your eyes and put your hand in his. Let go and be supple and then he can send you where he wants!

Did the Lord Jesus choose? Did he not offer his arms wide open to the nails of the cross so that no one might be excluded from his love, be that person the most selfish and most ungrateful of human beings or the hardest and most unjust of employers. The Lord Jesus suffered and died for all. In the name of his love, all, without exception, have a right to your love.

To understand Brother Charles of Jesus totally, you need to forget him and through him see only Jesus.

You will not forget that it is very often the little and the poor who will evangelize you and reveal Jesus to you.

If I were told to define the mission of our community in a single word, I would not hesitate for a single moment to cry: 'unity'. All our vocation can be summed up by the word 'unity'.

We must not content ourselves to speak of brotherly and sisterly love. We must speak of unity in love. I am more and more aware that it is the purest spirit of the Gospel, the pure spirit of Christ whose last message before dying, lovingly remembered and preserved as people's dying words often are, was: "May they be one as we are one, me in them and you in me, that they may be made perfect in unity."

This Bethlehem crib is so beautiful and so great.It contains the whole Christ, who is both God and man. It contains the workshop of Nazareth, the Passion and the Cross, and all the glory of the Resurrection and of heaven. That is how our God first appeared, and he wants to be contemplated and adored in this state not only by the lowly but also by the great. He accepted the adoration of both shepherds and wise men and he even led them by a star into the presence of this little baby without grandeur or majesty.
