He recalled walking on his way to a cathedral when he saw a man trying to attack some children and said, “For me it was not possible to just see that and not try to stop him.”
“I’m thinking that maybe I was not there without a purpose. Maybe it’s the Holy Spirit who laid my foot towards this man,” Henri, a Catholic, added.
He credited his faith with helping him to “react quickly and not think about my life.”
“When we understand that Christ gave his life to save us, it’s pretty easy to consider to give our lives to save others.”
Henri is currently on a nine-month pilgrimage visiting France’s cathedrals by foot. He explained that he was shocked after seeing the fire at Notre Dame in 2019 and decided to do this pilgrimage as an “homage” to all the cathedrals in France.
“When we are looking up to the sky and looking at cathedrals and we are filling our spirit with something beautiful and great, we can all act like our ancestors and like Jesus Christ wants us to act,” he said.
