The essence of the spirituality of the French mystic, Elisabeth Leseur, was, as she herself put it, to be 'Christian to the core'. Surrounded by an anti-Christian, anti-Catholic milieu and an unbelieving husband, she quietly followed her resolve, living a life of prayer, an active apostolate among the poor of Paris, and suffering for the love for Jesus Christ, underpinned by an infectious joy and love of life.
