Father Albert Peyriguère

Died April 26, 1959

El-Kbab (in the Middle Atlas)

This is our church who we entrust with these words of our Archbishop Vincent Landel Father: "His place is with you ... you live in continuity"

But who is the Father Peyriguère?

A priest from the diocese of Bordeaux, born in 1883 ... Seriously wounded several times in the War of 1914-1918, is in a period of convalescence and rest until he discovers the Father de Foucauld's book published by Rene Bazin 1921 ... Now its way of life is all mapped out .... "This will best achieve the ideal of Foucauldian spirituality."

Arriving in Morocco in 1928, he first wanted to "experiment" for 15 years, then "teaching" the message of Charles de Foucauld. A good start drafting work is never finished: the poor without ever knocking at his door for medical care or warm clothing during the harsh winters in the Middle Atlas mountains ..

"Caring and dress" the day he was left with that night to pray ... to beg. His whole life was "eaten", "eaten", "sucked" - as he put it - by the poor. He, an intellectual, one day a "finger on" that have done good to the smallest of its brothers of the mountain was more handsome and taller than writing pages of genius on the topics most high and most exciting ...

"There is no greater love than to lay down his life for his friends," said Jesus. This is what the Father Peyriguère.

The heart worn by many labors and austerities, he entered the hospital in Casablanca, April 20, 1959 and died Sunday, April 26 to 15 hours. At the time of his burial in the middle of a crowd of mountaineers in tears, a young person read this poem of farewell:

"The marabout had no wife or children, and all his family were poor. All men were his brothers. He gave food to the hungry. He dressed people who were naked. It cared for the sick. He defended those who were unjustly treated. He welcomed those who were homeless. All his family were poor. all men were his brothers.

- God be merciful to him!
