Pedro Zitha, OFM INTRODUCTION Fixant notre regard sur ce qui se passe dans le monde d’aujourd’hui, il est facile de comprendre que les gens ont besoin des croyants courageux qui prennent au sérieux leur identité de disciples du Christ vivant et présent dans la vie de tous. La naissance active de tant de mouvements chrétiens en est une confirmation que beaucoup sont ceux qui ont soif de la Parole de Dieu. Il est vrai que l’homme seul et sans l’aide de Dieu n’est pas à la hauteur de calmer cette soif. Pourtant, l’homme doit coopérer efficacement, et ceci advient à travers la contemplation de la Parole de Dieu dans l’Évangile. L’ÉVANGILE COEUR ET SUPPORT DE NOTRE FOI La Famille Franciscaine continue sa croissance dans diverses parties du monde grâce à l’expérience de vie évangélique dont témoignent quotidiennement soit les frères du Premier Ordre et du TOR, soit en général, la Famille Franciscaine dans son intégralité. Naturellement, en nous réjouissant pour une telle croissance, en même temps, nous avons besoin de nous demander ce que serait la Famille Franciscaine sans l’Évangile. L’Évangile est une règle de vie. C’est le cœur et le support des Chrétiens.

  • Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus (1873-1897)
    SAINT THÉRÈSE OF THE CHILD JESUS (1873-1897) hérèse Martin was born in Alençon, France, on January 2, 1873, Tto Louis Martin and Zélie Guérin, who were canonized together in 2015. After the death of her mother on August 28, 1877, Thérèse moved with her family to the city of Lisieux. Some extraordinary graces accompanied Thérèse’s human and spiritual maturation and allowed her to grow in her awareness of the infinite Mercy of God that is offered to every person. On the day of Pentecost in 1883, she had the unique grace of being healed from a serious illness; through the intercession of Our Lady of Victories. In 1884, she received her First Communion and at that time experienced the grace of intimate union with Christ. Thérèse had a great desire to follow her sisters, Pauline and Marie, into the Carmel of Lisieux to live a contemplative life. While on a pilgrimage to Italy, during an audience that Pope Leo XIII granted to the faithful of the Diocese of Lisieux, she boldly implored the Holy Father to obtain permission to enter Carmel at the age of fifteen. Having obtained his permission, Thérèse entered the monastery in 1888 and professed her vows on September 8, 1890. Her journey of holiness was strengthened by trusting God during mo- ments of great trial, to which she gave witness in her writings, letters, and prayers. Her teaching is also evident in poems and small theatrical per- formances written for recreation with the sisters. As a collaborator in the formation of novices, she undertook transmitting her spiritual experiences condensed into The Little Way of Spiritual Childhood.
