| Summary |
"Jusqu'à la fin du monde" by Adolphe Retté is a religious and philosophical prose work written in the early 20th century. The book delves into themes of faith, suffering, and the human condition, emphasizing the necessity of spiritual vigilance in the face of worldly distractions and moral decay. It appears to draw heavily on Christian theological reflections and personal experiences of spiritual awakening. The opening of the work introduces the profound anguish of individuals struggling with their faith, particularly focusing on the agony of Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. Having shared in the anguish of Christ, the narrator explores personal despair, doubt, and moments of revelation that lead to the realization of divine love and mercy. This sequence is enriched with vivid imagery of nature, internal dialogue, and a call to action for readers to remain attentive and compassionate in their existence, ultimately prompting them to "watch with Jesus until the end of the world."
