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 o f 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 o f 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.
