My Family Background Was Deeply Christian.

After The War, Prompted By The Cardinal Archbishop Of Paris, I Entered Parliament So That A Priest Could Speak Out For The Poor, As Canon Law At That Time Still Permitted.

Those Seven Years In The Cloister Were The Key To My Life.

The Process Of My Transformation Came To A Head With My Discovery Of St. Francis Of Assisi During A Pilgrimage I Went On With A Scout Troop From My School.

Illness Has Always Brought Me Nearer To A State Of Grace.

Providence Was Well Aware What Lay Ahead For Me, And My Capuchin Training Was To Prepare Me For It.
