The reparative dimension in the spirituality of Thérèse of Lisieux

The paper that Professor María Jesús Fernández Cordero gave at the I International Congress Saint Therese of Lisieux: "A Giant's Race". Manuscript "A" of the History of a soul, organised by CITeS, has been published by the Journal of Spirituality. Her work has been chosen, along with four others, as a preview of the proceedings that will bring together all the conferences and communications.

The Editorial of the Journal of Spirituality - directedby Professor Emilio J. Martínez, OCD - refers to the research of our professor, entitled La dimensión reparadora en la espiritualidad de Teresa de Lisieux: contexto, raíces, vivencia (The reparative dimension in the spirituality of Therese of Lisieux: context, roots, experience), with the following words:

"Dr Fernandez Cordero conscientiously analyses a fundamental theme for the understanding of the spirituality of Therese of the Child Jesus, in continuity and, above all, in response to the devotional practices of her time: reparative spirituality. Without escaping from her context, Teresa overcomes the deformed or insufficient images of God, as not evangelical, and restores love to its central place in Christian spirituality".
