| Summary: | This article aims to present the particularity and topicality of Thérèse of Lisieux’s experience of the Dark Night in the context of spiritual crises in Scripture and tradition. The contextuality of Thérèse’s spirituality plays an important role here, as she not only reflects the atheistic thoughts and experiences of her contemporaries, but also suffers through her experience of the Dark Night. This makes the saint of Lisieux an important dialogue partner for people who are experiencing spiritual crises today. |
