It is worth returning to the work of Georges Bernanos primarily due to constant news of his prose describing the spirituals experience of man. Memoirs of the Rural Parish is a book that shows the way his experience affects a priest working in the realities of France at the begining of the twentieth century. It is actually a relation of the internal struggles affected by the mystery of grace to participate in the agony of Jesus Christ. This is a favourite story for the writer. Actually, each of his novel tries to meditate the way of agony and the suffering of the Saviour but Memoirs of the Rural Pastor makes it perfectly. So we have the opportunity to read this novel in a literary attempt to describe the content, which can be found in the spirituality of Saint John of the Cross, Saint Therese of Lisieux, and why not – blessed Charles de Foucauld.
