These pages were first published by R de Richemont, the executer of Father Huvelin's will. Bother
Charles had written asking Father Huvelin to publish this booklet but he died before being able to
do so.

"Dear Father,

Eight or nine years ago, while I was in Nazareth,I sketched for myself a portrait of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, based on sentences from the Holy Gospel. I have read it over and over again ever since and I
love to keep this portrait before my eyes each day. When rereading it during Holy week I had the
idea that this little booklet could be helpful for others. At first I rejected the idea as not in keeping
with the way of Nazareth that I have chosen, a way of silence and humility. As the idea kept coming
back I thought that the best would be to submit my idea to you. ... My only desire is to do the will of
my one and only Beloved, Jesus."

Brother Charles of Jesus

Jesus made a tour through all the towns and villages, teaching in their Synagogues, proclaiming the
Good News of the kingdom and curing all kinds of diseases and sickness. (Matthew 9:35)

accomplished, and bowing His head, He gave up His Spirit. (John 19: 18,30)

FAITH

Yes, God loved the world so much that He gave His only son, so that every one who believes in
Him may not be lost but may have eternal life. (John 3:16-17)

already because he has refused to believe in the name of God's only Son. (John 3:18)

more. (John 12:46)

I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you made me welcome; naked and you
clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me. Then the virtuous will say
to him in reply, Lord when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
When did we see you a stranger and make you welcome; naked and clothe you; sick or in prison
and go to see you? And the king will answer, I tell you solemnly, in so far as you did this to one of
the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me. Then he will say to those on his left hand, Go
away from me, with your curse upon you, to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
For I was hungry and you never gave me food; I was thirsty and you never gave me anything to
drink; I was a stranger and you never made me welcome, naked and you never clothed me, sick and
in prison and you never visited me? Then it will be their turn to ask, Lord when did we see you
hungry or thirsty, a stranger or naked, sick or in prison, and did not come to your help? Then he will
answer, I tell you solemnly, in so far as you neglected to do this to one of the least of these, you
neglected to do it to me. And they will go away to the eternal punishment, and the virtuous to
eternal life. (Matthew 25:35-46)

relations, or rich neighbours, for fear they repay your courtesy by inviting you in return. No, when

again. (Luke 10: 12-14)

be opened to you. For the one who asks always receives; the one who searches always finds; the
one who knocks will always have the door opened to him. What Father among you would hand his

what is good, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.

the Skull or, as it was called in Hebrew, Golgotha. (John 19:17)

They offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he refused it. (Mark 15:23)

Where they crucified him with two others. (John 19:18).

you deserted me. (Matthew 27:46)
