Burn-out, solitude, fragilité : comment tenir dans le sacerdoce ?
Father Thomas Poussier, rector of Saint-Luc Seminary, explores how priests can manage the tensions of burnout, solitude, and fragility in his book, Prêtre sur des lignes de crête.
The author examines how clergy can balance self-sacrifice with rest, celibacy with spiritual fatherhood, and solitude with fraternity. Poussier suggests these challenges are not dead ends but are central to building a priestly life. His reflections are based on his work accompanying future priests and his practical experience in the field.
