Who would have guessed that the humble gardener and handyman who used to run errands for the Poor Clares in Nazareth and Jerusalem was a member of the French nobility, a celebrated author and former officer of the French army?  But he lived for several years at the Poor Clare monasteries in a little shed.  The Church would canonize this reclusive gardener as St. Charles de Foucauld.   He wrote:
“Oh, happy grace. I am before the Blessed Sacrament. What happiness! I am so near to You, so close to You, my God.  Let me serve you here in your presence as I ought, give me such thoughts and words as I should have in you, by you, and for you.” – November 5-15, 1897
