Book Synopsis



Rather than relying too heavily on Charles de Foucauld's spiritual writings, little sister Kathleen draws on fresh material taken from his correspondence and diaries to set out his legacy for those who live in the deserts of the modern world, reminding us that at the heart of the Christian adventure is friendship with Jesus of Nazareth. Anchoring his spiritual life in the home of Nazareth, Charles discovered that being Jesus's little brother meant becoming a brother to the least and the most forsaken, a universal brother. It is what led him to settle on one of humanity's fault lines in the Algerian Sahara during the French colonial era in order to "cry the Gospel with his life." All of his plans seemed doomed to failure, be it that of forming a community of little brothers or of drawing the Tuareg people closer to the Gospel. His death at the hands of Islamic extremists has obvious contemporary overtones, and yet, he leaves in the heart of his disciple the conviction that it is not a question of success but of abandonment into the hands of a loving Father who grounds our identity as brother or sister deeper than any of our divisions.



Review Quotes




Even those who are familiar with the life of Charles de Foucauld will find many new insights in Little Sister Kathleen's book. It's more than a biography: it's a guide for all of us to living the life of Nazareth; the life of "everyday holiness" as Pope Francis calls it. -- Rev. Terrence J. Moran "Office of Peace, Justice and Ecological Integrity, Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth"

Little Sister Kathleen's biography of Charles de Foucauld is very special. He calls us"€"whatever one's walk of life"€"to a spirituality of abandonment into God's hands, encounter with others and the fostering of community, especially with the poor. In a word, he is our universal brother. I highly recommend this book. -- Msgr. Richard M. Liddy "Seton Hall University"

Universal Brother is a superb interpretation of Charles de Foucauld. Sensitive interpretation of events in Br. Charles' biography conjoined with scriptural insights from one who knows it intimately make this a splendid introduction for those new to Foucauld and a source of deeper understanding for those long acquainted with the Universal Brother. -- Bonnie Thurston "Biblical scholar, poet, author of Hidden in God: Discovering the Desert Vision of Charles de Foucauld"
