EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the profound gaze of Father Pierre (Henri Antoine Groves), a French priest and heroic figure of the 20th century. Born in 1912, Pierre joined the Abbey of Emmaus in Paris in 1932, where he dedicated himself to a life of service and spiritual guidance. However, when the darkness of World War II engulfed Europe, Pierre's faith and courage were put to the ultimate test. As a member of the French Resistance, Father Pierre risked his life to save countless Jews and other persecuted individuals from the horrors of the Holocaust. He used his position as a priest to protect and shelter those in need, providing them with false identity papers and hiding places. His acts of defiance against the Nazi regime were a beacon of hope and humanity in the face of unimaginable evil. After the war, Father Pierre continued his charitable work, founding the Companions of Emmaus, an organization dedicated to helping the homeless and those in need. His unwavering commitment to serving others and promoting social justice has inspired generations of people, making him a true hero and an enduring symbol of hope and resilience. This powerful image of Father Pierre, with his piercing eyes and steady gaze, serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable human spirit and the power of compassion and selflessness in the face of adversity. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable man and the profound impact he had on the lives of countless individuals during his time on Earth.
