Summary

This book concerns the life of a Missionary of Africa (White Father) who has had a very unusual destiny. He spent only a few months in an African mission. Nonetheless, he left a mark on the history of the Society, as much by the contribution he made in the development of the new Spiritual Year in the 60s, as by the example he gave in living a fruitful life in spite of ill-health, which incapacitated him for many years. The numerous personal notes he left allow us to comprehend his way of life to some extent and to rediscover that what really matters is not the number of activities undertaken, but the depth and vigour of spiritual commitment. (François Richard, Foreword)
