At 22 January at the age of 93, God invited Abbé Pierre to leave this world and come to His. When I was 16 I remember a visit to his projects in Paris with our school class, at that time I didn't realise what he meant for society: we boys found Napoleon's grave and the Eiffel Tower more exciting than the places filled with second-hand materials of Abbé Pierre. Now I hope that I'll be forgiven, because now it's the other way around for me. It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when he well be declared a Saint of the Church, I'm sure. You can consider him the mother Theresa of Paris. Here you find more information about him.
