Features: Some compare Veuve's The Burden and the Grace with Pascal's Pensées, and call her a "contemporary Pascal." This outstanding 20th-century French religious thinker followed Pascal's mystical path of faith: faith is not something to be shown off, but a difficult, by no means easy burden. This book is not a systematic specialized treatise, but was compiled by Veuve's friend, the renowned religious scholar G. Thibon (1903—), from her vast manuscripts and recorded conversations after her passing. These pages, shining with spiritual light, permeate Veuve's profound reflections, revealing her great soul and lofty faith. They stand as an indispensable work in the history of 20th-century Christian mysticism.
