Priest in Belgium, (1890-1924), the apostle of devotion to Mary and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. He labored with wonderful success for the sanctification of souls entrusted to his care. In student circles, where his influence was very great, he promoted a deepening of the spiritual life. This super-natural and truly apostolic priest did a great deal of good during the course of his short life (he died at the age of thirty-three). The flame of his word and the radiation of his meek and humble piety encourage and motivate us to work towards our sanctification and a life of intimate union with Jesus and Mary.
