Charles de Foucauld wrote a text called the Directory for the use of all, priests and lay people alike, gathered under the title of the Union of the Brothers and Sisters of the Sacred Heart.
A personal return to the Gospel and a spiritual life centered on the Eucharist are asked of them, as well as a commitment to proclaim the Gospel in the way Jesus of Nazareth did: to live the Gospel wherever they might be. But de Foucauld hoped that Christians would live this spirituality where the Gospel was unknown.
From the heart of the Sahara he wrote: "Here there is a need for good people, good Christians of every profession, who would come into close contact with the indigenous people through a thousand daily activities".
