The Crucible for Holiness According to Fr. Francis Libermann

2020 Symposium Plenary Session Abstract by David Fagerberg

WHAT HAS been called the French School of Spirituality flows through St Sulpice Seminary, and its members share a common theme: abnegation and total abandonment to God. Fr. Francis Libermann took up this theme in his spiritual letters to seminarians and missionaries. As the “second founder” of the Spiritans, he wrote letters with penetrating insight into human nature and described the cost of being raised to holiness. By introducing you to Fr. Francis Libermann and his little-known writings, this presentation hopes to inspire you to imitate him by taking up the cross for an ascent to holiness.
