More wisdom from St. Charles de Foucauld

 
 
 

Jesus descended to them and came to Nazareth. Throughout his life he descended: by becoming flesh, by becoming an obedient little child, by becoming poor, abandoned, exiled, persecuted, tortured, by always putting himself in the last place.

—St. Charles de Foucauld

quoted in the biography by Jean-Jacques Antier, Charles de Foucauld
