Summary/Abstract: We intend to emphasize in this work a constant feature of the spiritual teaching of Father Placide Deseille of pious memory, three years after his passing away. He never ceased to emphasize in his sermons, which are a synthesis of his entire theological thinking, that Christian values must mean a series of “intrinsic” qualities of the Christian, some principles of life assumed as evangelical virtues (this is the phrase he used), out of a strong desire for spiritual increase on the path leading to the Kingdom of Heaven; regardless of the specifics of the society in which he lives, profane and secularist, as in France. The stakes of spiritual formation are eternity and holiness (or deification), which means they have an eschatological nature, but can be experienced since the present of the contemporary world in which they are prepared.
