Elevation sur sainte madeleine
Pierre Bérulle - Collection Trésors christianisme
Résumé
--
Bérulle is the initiator and the master of what is called 'the French School' of spirituality, which has strongly influenced the French clergy through many religious families (Oratorians, Eudists, Sulpicians, Lazarists...). The 'Élévation sur sainte Madeleine' is one of Bérulle's last works. Based on interviews with the young English queen, Henriette of France, it maintains great freedom of tone and style. The pilgrimage at Sainte-Baume, presumed to be the place of retreat of Mary Magdalene, was very much in vogue in the 17th century. People went there to prey to the repented sinner. Bérulle sees things differently. To him, Magdalene is the model of a soul given to Christ. Her sins were forever washed away even at her first encounter with Jesus. This short treaty, which presents a way of conversion toward the highest mysticism, is also one of the first great texts of the French language.
