François-Xavier used a specialized communication device to share his spiritual thoughts and writings

François-Xavier, a man with a severe disability who could not speak, used a specialized device to communicate his thoughts and spiritual life. A priest who knew François-Xavier in Geneva between 2013 and 2020 noted that while the man could not verbally respond to pastoral visits, he later discovered the depth of his interior life through François-Xavier's written works.

The man began using the device on October 26, 1994, after learning a communication method used by a speech therapist in Europe. This allowed him to express his feelings and experiences through writing. His ability to communicate using the adapted apparatus continued until February 2015.
