Jacques Keryell - Collection L'histoire à vif
Résumé
--
Born into a famous Lebanese Shiite family, Afîf Osseïrane (1919-1988), a profound non-believer, discovered the Gospels during a deep spiritual crisis and entered the Catholic Church by receiving baptism in Beyrouth, 1945. After a stay in Louvain, Belgium, from 1945 to 1949, during which he obtained a PhD and a doctorate of Muslim philosophy, he returned to Lebanon where he founded a dispensary for street children and a kindergarten. He had met Father Voillaume for the first time in 1950. In 1953, he entered the novitiate of the Little Brothers of Jesus in the Sahara, and was then sent to Iran and Afghanistan, among other places. In 1962, he left the Fraternity before professing the perpetual vows and returned to Lebanon where he was ordained a priest of the Maronite Church in the diocese of Beirut. While teaching philosophy and Hebrew at the Lebanese University and the St Joseph University in Beirut, he continued his sacerdotal ministry among the city's poorest inhabitants, especially children and teenagers, and then founded the Foyer de la Providence Divine for homeless children. He died in August 1988, revered as a saint by his Muslim family and his Christian brothers.
