Charles de Foucauld wrote,
I should carry on in myself the life of Jesus: think his thoughts, repeat his words, his actions. May it be he that lives in me. I must be the image of Our Lord in his hidden life: I must proclaim, by my life, the Gospel from the rooftops.
This is Christianity at its most basic: the Most Holy Trinity and the Humanity of Jesus, the greatest central truths of the Christian revelation, in action in the life of a friend of God who became human and who, in his hidden life in Nazareth and in all his subsequent actions, proclaimed the Gospel who is Jesus himself.
Charles de Foucauld calls us to say, “Christ is living in me (contemplating his own reality and Love). My actions must flow from this truth.”
