Abstract

The personality of Father Lhande is essentially familiar to us on account of his apostolate in the working class ; books such as Le Christ dans la banlieue or La croix sur les fortifs are clear evidence for that. But, between 1927 and 1934, our Jesuit father was also the most popular preacher on the radio and a real forerunner in the field of radiophonie preaching, devising a spoken style of his own, even sermons in the form of a dialogue with his listeners. The many letters he received allow the author to outline the moral features of the listeners, to understand their expectations and to realise what they liked best in the new medium when used for the service of the faith. From his exceptional pulpit, Father Lhande also successfully appealed to the generosity of his listeners during the colder periods of winter or when floods occurred.
