When Xavier Dartigelongue encounters the tragically charismatic Jean de Mirbel and learns of his failing marriage, he decides to postpone the priesthood for the sake of “saving” two particular sinners. His visit to the Mirbel household will immerse him in the demands of lust and the darkness of despair and his salvific mission is rapidly in danger of becoming simply a project of self-preservation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e“\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eI know now that love does exist in this world. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eBut it is crucified in the world and we with it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrançois Mauriac\u003c\/b\u003e (1885–1970) was a French, Roman Catholic novelist, poet, critic, and journalist.
