Il 15 maggio papa Francesco ha canonizzato Charles de Foucauld, un ufficiale francese, diventato eremita nel Sahara e “fratello universale”. «Non appena ho creduto che ci fosse un Dio, ho capito che non potevo fare altrimenti che vivere per lui», scrive dopo essersi confessato all’abate Henri Huvelin, il 30 ottobre 1886, nella chiesa di Sant’Agostino a Parigi. Da allora volle imitare il Cristo occupando l’ultimo posto al fianco dei più poveri.
