From a reader, reflecting on now Blessed Charles de Foucauld:
I first came to learn of Blessed Charles de Foucauld from a book my friend, Quentin Colgan, edited/compiled called Virginia Cyr, God's Little Hobo. (You may already be familiar with this book.) Virginia Cyr was a young woman from Indiana that Colgan got to know when he was a monk at St. Meinrad. Cyr had severe cerebral palsey, but also an amazing strong faith--and an overwhelming desire to join a lay movement founded by Blessed Charles. The book is comprised of Cyr's letters and journals, which she entrusted to Colgan after her death in her early 20s. Her story really is amazing--I think we'll be hearing about "Blessed Virginia Cyr" before long.
Here's the Amazon link to the book, which, as a matter of fact, was edited by someone we know.
