 The light of an encounter
"La lumière d’une rencontre"
The light of an encounter ... What encounter is Marie-Hélène Mathieu talking to us about with this title? Is it with Suzanne, her intellectually disabled school friend who was humiliated by the comments of the other pupils? Or even the one with Father Henri Bissonnier that led her to found the Office chrétien des personnes handicapées (OCH)? Or even the one with Marthe Robin, who carried the Faith and Light pilgrimage through prayer?
Because the encounters in the life of Marie-Hélène Mathieu have been many, all completely revolving around the guidance of disabled people and their families. Beyond the strength, the intensity of her testimony, the author shows us what the welcoming of ill, fragile and marginalized people can be for each of us, and invites us to get close to them and to be taught by them. This book is also an appeal for their voice, their rights and the meaning of their life to be fully recognised.
The light of an encounter is an unusual anthology of the writings of Marie-Hélène Mathieu: editorials, columns, lectures ... (In french)
