Lettres a diane d'andalo
Jourdain De Saxe - Collection Intimité du christianisme
Résumé
--
A man of letters, a preacher of incomparable charisma, Jourdain de Saxe - who succeeded Saint Dominic at the head of the Order of Preachers - met Diane d'Andalò when he was still a provincial in Lombardy: she had made religious profession into the hands of Dominic himself, in spite of the virulent opposition of her family. Jourdain became her guide and her friend, and upheld her faithfully, as well as the members of her budding little community of Saint-Agnès, in Bologne. Their friendship gave rise to a correspondence that is exceptional in more than one way: not only does it permit us to follow Jourdain in his many voyages and witness the rapid expansion of the Order in those first years of the 13th century, it also, and above all, gives us the opportunity to admire a strong and warm spiritual friendship between a man and a woman, both driven by the desire to provide mutual support in their search for God and the accomplishment of their vocation. By showing constant brotherly care, Jourdain also testifies to the importance the brothers attach to the presence, at the heart of the Order, of monials who, by listening to the Word of God, their prayer and their fraternal life, support the life and the mission of the brothers, so participating in the task of predication. Both Jourdain de Saxe and Diane d'Andalò have been declared Blessed.
