L'acte d'offrande de therese de lisieux a l'amourmisericordieux
Jacques Fau - Collection Epiphanie
Résumé
--
On the Feast of the Holy Trinity, the 9th of June, 1895, Therese received the grace of understanding how much God wished to be loved so she offered herself as a 'holocaust victim to merciful Love'. In the same year, she wrote Manuscript A, twelve poems including 'Vivre d'Amour' and three pious pieces. Having attained spiritual maturity, unburdened of the spirit of fear engendered by Jansenism, Therese was able to give her vocation, the spirit of Love, free rein. In L'Acte d'offrande which she wrote that day, she condensed everything that constituted her spirituality: her infinite desire to resemble Jesus and be united with him the grace to understand that it was by passing through the crucible of suffering that she would resemble him most: and, as a consequence, she would fulfil her desire to save souls. In his first book, En retraite avec sainte Thérèse de Lisieux, Jacques Fau began to meditate this prayer. This new work, which is impregnated with the same apostolic spirit that always drove Therese, shows us a path that demands no act of an exceptional nature, nor does it fear God's wrath or seek to 'earn a place in Heaven'. She sought to be prompted by love, solely to please. Each of us, by contemplating 'L'Acte d'offrande', can draw the power to face the difficulties of each day with serenity and, schooled by Saint Thérèse, we will learn to find perfect happiness 'by fixing our eyes upon that invisible light that eludes our gaze'.
