Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage sur Thérèse d’Avila (1515-1582), Thérèse de Jésus que Paul VI a déclarée Docteur de l’Église, sera suivi d’un second du même auteur et d’un cheminement semblable, consacré au Christ de Jean de la Croix. La richesse première de cette étude tient aux très nombreuses citations de Thérèse, traduites de première main : véritable anthologie des écrits de la sainte sur le Christ, ces textes souvent longs constituent la matière essentielle du livre. Celui-ci nous éclaire aussi d’emblée sur la biographie de Thérèse et, en finale, nous propose nombre d’indications bibliographiques et thématiques qui permettront d’aller plus loin dans la réflexion. Mais l’objet propre de cet ouvrage, c’est la contribution de l’œuvre spirituelle de Thérèse à la théologie, plus exactement à la théologie du Christ ou christologie. Un travail judicieux de repérage et d’organisation s’imposait, auquel l’auteur s’est livré avec succès. Il fallait être capable en effet d’écouter cet étonnant et déconcertant Docteur de l’Église, dont les écrits se présentent surtout comme des traces qui, suivies avec attention, laissent se lever une puissante parole. M. De Goedt a pris pour référence, pour sa lecture christologique de l’œuvre spirituelle de Thérèse, la progression des Demeures telle que la présente le Château intérieur. Il y a beaucoup de justesse et de pertinence à prendre ainsi pour guide l’œuvre qui reflète le plus « lumineusement » la « grâce d’enseignement » de la sainte. Les Demeures apparaissent pour ce qu’elles sont : les étapes symboliques d’un cheminement qui va d’une première conversion, initiatrice d’une recherche spirituelle encore par trop volontariste, à une conversion seconde ouvrant la voie à la parole de Paul : « Ce n’est plus moi qui vis, c’est le Christ qui vit en moi » (Galates 2,20) Pour sainte Thérèse, toute la progression de la vie spirituelle ou mystique, en tant qu’elle s’origine et se traduit dans l’oraison, se construit par rapport au Christ lui-même ; et à la compréhension déjà christologique du chemin de l’âme vers Dieu correspond la vision précise du mystère du Christ. Ainsi, se gardant de la sensiblerie et s’arrachant aux étroitesses d’une théologie qui l’a pourtant marquée, la sainte d’Avila fait-elle une belle, harmonieuse et substantielle christologie. Voilà ce que nous montre précisément et clairement ce livre. Une collection de référence en christologie sous la direction de Monseigneur Doré.

Download or read book Complete Spiritual Doctrine of St Therese of Lisieux written by Fr. François Jamart and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a century ago, there lived a Carmelite nun, Thérèse of Lisieux. Although she was young and seemed to have no authority, she taught “a Little Way very straight and short” which would lead people to perfection. Others had declared that sanctity was hard to attain, but she said that it was easy. Thérèse maintained that in order to become holy, it was not necessary to engage in manifold practices, to perform rigorous penances, or to receive extraordinary graces. What was needed was simply that we acknowledge our “nothingness” and approach God with love and confidence. “Sanctity,” she proclaimed, “is an interior disposition which makes us humble and little in God’s arms, conscious of our weakness and trusting even to audacity in the goodness of our Father.” Thérèse did not reveal new truths, nor did she teach new means for attaining perfection. Her doctrine was not a revelation of a new kind of sanctity, but a new way of revealing sanctity to us. What she teaches flows from the knowledge of God as He is revealed in the Gospel; she invites us to return to evangelical simplicity. The Church has endorsed her doctrine at the highest level: in 1999, Pope John Paul II declared her a Doctor of the Church. In the Complete Spiritual Doctrine of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, he presents her teachings in their original beauty, simplicity, and practicality. According to the judgment of the Carmelite nuns of Lisieux, this work “represents the pure doctrine of Thérèse—without deviation.” Since this book first appeared in French in 1958 and in English in 1961, it has established itself as a classic. Although many fine studies on St. Thérèse have appeared in more recent years, the Complete Spiritual Doctrine of St. Thérèse of Lisieux is still an indispensable guide to the Little Way.

Download or read book Letters of St Therese of Lisieux Volume I written by St. Therese of Lisieux and published by ICS Publications. This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letter writing at the end of the nineteenth century was an important activity for the people of France. Those who received letters from family and friends alike usually kept the hand-written texts sent to them as precious gifts. That is why this collection of letters by and to one of the greatest saints of modern times is so interesting to us today. No mere notes slapped together in distracted haste, the missives found in this volume reveal communications of warm personal sentiment along with expressions of lively spiritual development. Thérèse's efforts as a fifteen-year-old to enter Carmel before reaching the required age appear in revealing detail. This "tortuous course of a very subtle diplomacy" is set out not only by the letters of Thérèse herself, but also by those of so many others who shared her hopes and eventual victory. The translator-editor gives us 75 pages of introductory remarks to Thérèse's letters. This volume also includes 4 pages of facsimiles of Thérèse's letters.

Download or read book St Th r se of Lisieux Her Last Conversations Revised Edition written by St Therese of Lisieux and published by ICS Publications. This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Thérèse of Lisieux (1873–1897) spent the final months of her short life in the infirmary of the Carmel of Lisieux, France. Those who attended her—including three of her older sisters by birth—were living in the company of one of God's saints, one prepared for our times. This volume, St. Thérèse of Lisieux: Her Last Conversations, serves as a sequel to St. Thérèse's autobiography, Story of a Soul. It contains the intimate words of her final conversations with her three sisters during the last months of her life, especially those three critical months in the Carmel infirmary from July to September 1897. Fortunately for us, her words were written down without the awareness that eventually a great multitude of friends of St. Thérèse would hunger for her spiritual teaching. 150 years after this great saint and Doctor of the Church was born into the world, the publication of this revised edition enables us to live in her company and enjoy her holy conversations and counsels. When we read her words with faith, her presence is at our side. She speaks to us directly, sharing her human experience: her joys, her sufferings, her love for God, and especially her trust in him amid her painful ordeal. This revised edition of St. Thérèse of Lisieux: Her Last Conversations reflects the extensive 1992 French critical edition of Derniers Entretiens in two volumes. That very complete and scholarly production has been edited here into its essential elements: + The entire text of St. Thérèse's words collected by the three main witnesses, Mother Agnes (Pauline), Sister Geneviève (Céline), and Sister Marie of the Sacred Heart (Marie); + The testimony of other witnesses when this does not repeat that of the three main witnesses; + Additional words of St. Thérèse as quoted in letters written during her last three months; + Comprehensive indexes of key names, topics, and biblical references.

This book was released on 1961-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La publication des Manuscrits authentiques de Sainte Thérèse de l’Enfant-Jésus a permis de grands progrès dans l’étude de ce que l’auteur appelle son « mystère ». En effet, chaque âme conserve toujours une note d’intimité, quelque chose de secret, dont on ne peut approcher que par intuition, en observant avec amour ses paroles, ses écrits, son comportement individuel et social. Et le mystère est encore plus grand lorsqu’il s’agit d’une Sainte car, à son secret personnel, naturel, s’ajoute celui de ses rapports avec Dieu. Une Sainte porte donc en elle comme deux mystères : celui de sa vie de créature qui émerge du néant, composée d’un corps et d’une âme faits pour se développer l’un en fonction de l’autre, en dépendance du milieu familial, social, de telle époque déterminée, et celui de sa libre réponse aux avances divines. Car Dieu invite chaque âme à se laisser transformer par sa grâce, de manière à ce qu’elle devienne de plus en plus apte à participer à sa Vie éternelle de lumière et d’amour. C’est le déroulement passionnant de cette merveilleuse épopée humaine et spirituelle, qu’il est possible de suivre presque jour par jour, grâce aux notations — si lucides et si précises — que nous laissa la Sainte de Lisieux. On s’aperçoit alors qu’elle rencontra, comme chacun de nous, plus d’un obstacle à vaincre au cours de sa brève carrière terrestre mais que, beaucoup mieux que nous, elle sut toujours accepter l’épreuve dans la nuit de la foi, soumettant constamment son esprit à celui de Dieu. Et, chaque fois également, elle reconnut le bienfait surnaturel de ces épreuves. Au terme de cette étude, Sainte Thérèse apparaît singulièrement grande, et pourtant il n’y a rien dans sa vie qui ne soit imitable, à condition de se laisser héroïquement conduire par la grâce, avec un amour toujours plus conforme à la Charité divine elle-même.

Download or read book The Prayers of Saint Th r se of Lisieux written by Saint Thérèse of Lisieux and published by ICS Publications. This book was released on 1997 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complete collection of Thérèse's independent prayers, translated from the critical edition, with 9 pages of photos. "For me," wrote Thérèse of Lisieux toward the end of her life, "prayer is an aspiration of the heart, it is a simple glance directed to heaven, it is a cry of gratitude and love in the midst of trial as well as joy; finally, it is something great, supernatural, which expands my soul and unites me to Jesus." Besides the countless spontaneous prayers found throughout her autobiography, letters, poetry, and plays, St. Thérèse left behind 21 additional independent prayers, from every period of her life, here collected for the first time. In this book we find prayers to the Infant Jesus and the Holy Face, prayers to Mary and the saints, prayers composed in joy and sorrow, prayers written for her novices and missionary brothers. All of them reflect the Saint's passionate love of God, which she wished to share with friends near and far. The highlight of this volume is the first critical text of Thérèse's famous "Offering to Merciful Love," fully annotated. Ample background materials explain the setting and significance of each prayer. Scholars will find here essential new information for the study of the Saint's doctrine; general readers will find this book an indispensable resource for learning to pray as Thérèse did. "It is prayer, it is sacrifice which give me all my strength; these are the invincible weapons Jesus has given me. They can touch souls much better than words."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre a été un des plus grands succès de librairie de l’entre-deux guerres. Depuis longtemps épuisé, cet ouvrage reparaît. Gaétan Bernoville n’a apporté - au texte primitif - que des rectifications légères, touchant dates et menus faits. « C’est un cri d’amour, un chant de jeunesse, dit-il dans son avant-propos à la présente édition, je n’y saurais rien changer. » Mais il y a ajouté un chapitre, qui n’est pas une quelconque « actualisation », à l’occasion des grandes fêtes de l’inauguration de la Basilique de Lisieux. C’est un apport entièrement nouveau et substantiel, qui s’éclaire surtout de la publication, depuis 1925, des Lettres de Sainte Thérèse de l’Enfant-Jésus, document capital et de certains textes, jusqu’alors inédits, des Novissima Verba. Le premier à avoir souligné l’héroïque volonté, le crucifiant ascétisme de la « Petite Sainte » de Lisieux et, par là, le premier à avoir ébranlé la légende intolérable d’une Sainte mièvre, à l’eau de rose, Gaétan Bernoville nous décrit aujourd’hui le cheminement mystique, prodigieux et prodigieusement rapide, de Thérèse de l’Enfant-Jésus. Il y trouve la raison profonde d’une gloire, dont l’universalité, l’éclat, le rayonnement croissant, sont exceptionnels dans l’histoire de la sainteté française. Il en dégage enfin la leçon pour notre temps. Ces pages neuves sont, par l’accent, sœurs jumelles des pages anciennes.
