SAINT
THÉRÈSE OF LISIEUX
Nietzsche is My Brother:
A Play by Bridget Edman, O.C.D.
The author of this play, Sister Bridget Edman, is a Discalced
Carmelite nun whose personal religious quest led her to the
Carmelites in South Africa. She entered the Carmelite monastery in
Johannesburg, and, when it closed, moved to the monastery in Cape
Town. Sister Edman, who is concerned with the problem of faith,
which problem is characteristic of modern humans, has written an
article on John of the Cross and the Existentialists and another
comparing John of the Cross with Kierkegaard. In Nietzsche is My
Brother, she compares St. Therese of Lisieux with the
philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
For some years the
mission of evangelization has extended itself to reach those who
have usually been beyond the grasp of the Church. It has done
so not to proselytize but in a new spirit of listening, of
understanding, and of openness. Nietzsche is My Brother,
which won first prize in the International Competition for Religious
Drama, is filled with this spirit.
