L’instant, Testament d’un dominicain, par Alex-Ceslas Rzewuski O.P., Plon
€22.00
Published in 1981 by Plon, The Instant may be regarded as the spiritual testament of Father Alex-Ceslas Rzewuski, a Dominican friar whose life followed an extraordinary path.
A talented artist in his youth, he abandoned his artistic career in 1926 after meeting Jacques Maritain and Mgr Vladimir Ghika, choosing instead to enter the Dominican convent of Saint-Maximin.
In this mature work, Rzewuski reflects on God, creation, original sin, redemption, priesthood, confession, the Mass, death and the mystery of time. Through the notion of the "instant", he develops a profound meditation on spiritual life and the presence of the divine within everyday existence.
