Most people have never heard of him.
But Dorothy Day said he was among the greats, like Saint Francis and Benedict.
Pope Francis said this mystic helped him understand the gospel and overcome his spiritual crises.
Who was he?
A French aristocrat who walked away from wealth.
A spiritual seeker who failed out of the military.
A restless soul who longed to disappear into the life of Jesus — and, in the Sahara, did just that.
His name was Charles de Foucauld.
Charles would spend his final years living among an indigenous tribe in Algeria, the Tuareg — not to convert or colonize, but simply to love. He built deep friendships across religious divides. He fought against his home country’s colonialism in the area. And he quietly translated Tuareg poetry and compiled their first dictionary, honoring their culture as sacred.
He was radical. Intense. Hard on himself, yet endlessly tender toward others.
He longed to live what he called the “spirituality of Nazareth” — the quiet, hidden life of Jesus. No fame, no followers, no success. Just love, lived faithfully in small, concrete acts.
In 1916, he was killed during a raid on his hermitage, an anonymous death in the desert.
But today, more than twenty lay and religious communities on five continents continue his vision: a life of radical simplicity, quiet solidarity, and deep-rooted love.
Canonized in 2022, Charles de Foucauld is a saint for our times — and maybe for yours.
This Saturday, July 12, you’re invited to a live Masterclass with Fr. Lenny Tighe, who has spent 50 years guiding people into the spirituality of Charles de Foucauld in everyday life.
In a time of headlines that devastate and dehumanize, Charles shows us another way: radical presence, humility, and resistance in the shape of familial love.
Come meet a saint who gave up everything — and found something most of us are still longing for.
Â
Presented by Fr Lenny Tighe
Fr Lenny Tighe is a retired diocesan priest from New England, who has loved and studied the life and spiritual legacy of Charles de Foucauld for more than 50 years. The life and character of Charles de Foucauld is an amazing life story, which has recently come into the English-speaking world. Fr Lenny was a parish priest and hospital chaplain for over 50 years. He is well traveled and has given many retreats to sisters and priests who share his own spiritual journey and experience of finding Charles de Foucauld. Fr Lenny is retired and living in South Carolina. He has edited 4 books on the life of St Charles, and continues to keep track of his website, with his very active St Charles Facebook invisible community. What is our foundation for contemplative life for Christians living in the sacred mess of humanity? We are companion with Jesus in living the radical Gospel “crying the Gospel with your life” as St Charles prays. Fr Lenny continues to attract and share his passion for Charles de Foucauld: believing St Charles to be a contemporary model and invites each of us to find our own unique spirituality of an ordinary life in our own Nazareth.
