Whoever is fascinated by the figure of Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916) gets to know Christ through him. Because following Jesus was the main goal of Brother Charles' life, in Nazareth's working life, in the proclamation of the gospel. To be bread and to share with others. To give oneself as broken bread.This study is a sequel to If You Exist (Amazon, 2019, first edited by Altiora, Belgium in 1987). Brother Charles' time and spirituality are examined from the perspective of the Eucharist. What were the typical characteristics of the Eucharistic devotion of Foucauld's time? Against this background, how can we distinguish his personal accents? The Eucharist is the beginning and the centre of Foucault's spirituality. Through this focus we get to know his person better, in search of how believers of this time try to find God. Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916), who called himself Brother Charles of Jesus, was beatified on November 13, 2005 by Pope Benedict XVI. He is an example for many who want to live their faith in service. As a missionary in Algeria, he showed that a warm proximity brings people together, beyond the boundaries of religions and cultures.Jan Van Raemdonck ( 1957) is a Belgian priest, theologian and historian. He is a member of the Priest Fraternities of Charles de Foucauld and parish priest in Zele, East Flanders.
