In a meditation in Matthew 25, in 1882, Blessed Charles de Foucauld wrote: "I think there are no words of the Gospel which have caused a deeper impression and have transformed my life more than these: "Whatever you did to one of these my brethren, you did it to me." Later, during the Christmas Season of 1897-1898, Charles de Foucauld was living in Nazareth. During that time, while meditating on Matthew 25,14-30 he wrote,"We are asked to account for all we've received....Since I have received so much, I've asked for allot. I feel I have received much more than most: conversion, my religious vocation, a Trappist' s hermit's life here in Nazareth, daily Communion...so many blessings, so many thanks!"
