Abstract:

À travers sa vie et sa mort tragique (1996), Mgr Christophe Munzihirwa sj, archevêque de Bukavu (R.D. Congo) a marqué les gens. Ceux qui l’ont connu témoignent que sa vie était un signe visible de l’amour propre aux disciples du Christ: être au milieu des frères comme celui qui sert (Lc 22,27). Cette étude voudrait justement faire connaître son «profil spirituel» qui comprend trois grandes composantes, à savoir la prière, la simplicité de vie et la promotion des valeurs libératrices de l’homme.

What has been the impact of the life and tragical death (1996) of Mgr Christophe Munzihirwa sj, archbishop of Bukavu (Democratic Republic of Congo) ? To those who have known him, his life has been a visible sign of the love which is the hallmark of Christ’s disciples: be among your brethren as one who serves! (cf. Luke 22,27). The present study aims at drawing a spiritual profile of the late archbishop, resting on three great components: prayer, simplicity of life, promotion of man’s freeing values.
