Stand In The Gap With Us And saint charles de foucauld 12/1/2023

The Blessed Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916) took a photo of the Eucharistic Jesus while it was exposed on the altar. When the film was developed the attached picture of the Child Jesus appeared.

The picture upabove portrays the innocent Child Jesus looking up to His loving Holy Father and praying on our behalf. The surrounding shows the Child Jesus in a poor carpenter’s work shop.

Sometime later, Jesus told the monk "I promise to send my Blessings and my Peace to each Home where this image is found."

Born into an aristocratic family in Strasbourg, France, Charles was orphaned at the age of 6, raised by his devout grandfather, rejected the Catholic faith as a teenager, and joined the French army.

He lost his faith as an adolescent.  Inheriting a great deal of money from his grandfather, Charles went to Algeria with his regiment, but not without his mistress, Mimi.

When he declined to give her up, he was dismissed from the army. Still in Algeria when he left Mimi, Charles reenlisted in the army.

Refused permission to make a scientific exploration of nearby Morocco, he resigned from the service.
