Fr. de Foucauld understood his mission as the "universal brother". This marked his life and witness from his arrival and his settling in Beni-Abbes in 1901. His foundation was called the khaoua" (the fraternity), because khaouia Charles is the "universal brother".
He always prayed that I may truly be the brother of all. And all the groups that have taken their origin from him have always been firmly determined to reach every corner of the world, desiring, like their mentor, to follow Christ who commanded his disciples "to go ... and make disciples of all nations".
Thus heirs to de Foucauld's tradition desire to become universal brothers/sisters like him. Wherever he/she may be, they witness to the universality of the love of Christ's Heart, so that it may be recognized in such a way that all can accept his Word and his Gospel.
