Charles was a #French priest who gave up a life of wealth and women to become a #Trappist monk and later moved to the Algerian desert to live among the #Muslim communities.

Many religious institutes, such as the Little Sisters of Jesus, have been inspired by his life and writings. The Little Sisters of Jesus have a museum in Rome that tells the story of Brother Charles and provides insight into the details of his life. The museum includes his sandals and compass, both of which were symbols of his desire to be in relationship with people.

The sisters also have many hand-made tools that were used by Brother Charles during his time in the desert, as well as many letters he wrote to France, some of which were given to monks sent to fight in #WorldWarI. Today, the Little Sisters of #Jesus have about 1,400 members of 65 different nationalities, all drawn to follow the example of Brother Charles, who modeled his simple life after that of Jesus during his time in #Nazareth.

Brother Charles's radical life of poverty and profound spiritual writings have already transformed how thousands of people seek to live like Jesus. He will be known as St. Charles de Foucauld.
