520 _a"Écrits spirituels de Charles de Foucauld : ermite au Sahara, apôtre des…." by Charles de Foucauld is a collection of spiritual writings written in the early 20th century. Drawn from private letters, meditations, and retreat notes, it reveals a hermit’s contemplative life, ardent charity, and practical approach to prayer and faith across the Sahara and the Holy Land. Expect intimate devotional pages rather than a formal treatise, emphasizing adoration, humility, interior conversion, and gentle outreach to Muslims. The opening of the volume begins with a preface by René Bazin, who sketches Foucauld’s path (explorer, Trappist, desert hermit) and explains the editorial approach: private texts are excerpted, not published whole, and the aim is to present usable spiritual fragments. He describes excluded pieces—especially a catechetical “Gospel for the poor of the Sahara” crafted to introduce Christian truths gradually to Muslims—and highlights the author’s purity, tender piety, humility, and courageous maxims. The first section, “Le Trappiste,” offers letters and Gospel meditations on prayer: adoration, solitary and nocturnal prayer, bold and persevering petitions, praying for enemies and sinners, guarding the soul as a “house of prayer,” and trusting God without fear. It then turns to the Nazareth period, opening a retreat in which the writer prays before the exposed Eucharist, seeks to know and do God’s will, and contemplates divine beauty reflected in creation, resolving to see and love only God through all things.
