Leseur Elisabeth - Collection Intimité du christianisme
Résumé
--
Born into a bourgeois family in Paris, Élisabeth Arrighi (1866-1914) understood and practiced her faith as a lay Christian in a creative and original manner. Married at the age of 23 to Félix Leseur, a militant non-believer whom she loved deeply, she adopted the behaviour of an apostle toward her husband and her surroundings, an attitude that was manifested in a caring and unconditionally loving presence. Sick and unable to have children, she faced the problem of suffering with courage and intelligence. Her travelling and reading gave her a broad vision of the world and a great sensitivity to different ways of thinking and forms of belief or non-belief. She was especially receptive to the social teaching of Pope Leo XIII and the action of the secular movements of those times. From 1899 to 1914, she noted her thoughts, prayers and rules of life in her diary. When his wife died, deeply moved by reading her diary, Félix Leseur became a Christian and a short time later, joined the Order of Preachers. He was invested with a mission: to make his wife's diary known. He published the Diary in 1917 and by 1954, it had sold 140 000 copies and been translated into 8 languages (English, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Chinese and Czech), as were other works and writings by Elisabeth Leseur. Of great human and spiritual equilibrium, Elisabeth Leseur's works can help Christians today, especially lay-people, and those who live, as she did, with a non-believer.
