With Bernanos
We know Georges Bernanos, novelist of grace and vigorous polemicist. He is also a spiritual master, that Father Robert Augé, a Benedictine monk, summons in this book in the form of “spiritual retreat”, offering an original and ardent meditation of the Beatitudes.
Happy the pure hearts, the merciful, the thirsts for justice … Each of the eight beatitudes agrees with the work of the great writer, crossed by this “Childhood spirit” Dear to Saint Thérèse de Lisieux, and where always, through the thickness and sometimes the darkness of the human soul, the authentic Christian joy.
While walking
“The path is done by walking”said the Spanish poet Antonio Machado. An expression that the cardiologist Anne-Laure Timmel and the training of training Anthony Grouard took in the word to invent a new pilgrimage path.
2,100 km long, it rallies the Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul cathedral from Nantes to the Saint-Pierre Basilica in Rome, joining the ancient via Francigena, between Canterbury and Rome. The delightful story immerses us in adventures and wonderful meetings that flourish on the Via Ligeria, whose name refers to the Loire that the pilgrims run along.
Rock and Catho
In 150 playful pages, bordering on the sound so much writing is one with his subject, François-Xavier lean rehabilitates rock’n’roll in the eyes of Christians. His demonstration is as much fine of the compositions as well as the biographical elements of artists, of which he delivers luminous anecdotes. For scholar and educational as it is, this little book is not a play of art history but the occasion for a reconciliation of the believer believing with his youth. Salutary and jubilant.
Reread the Bible
It was customary for high -flying exegetical demonstrations. In a polarized world, marked by a “frontierization” and the temptation of the withdrawal, Anne-Marie Pelletier offers a biblical rereading which unmasks the identity instrumentalizations of Christianity, and reveals the Gospel as a power of universal brotherhood.
From Genesis to Apocalypse, from Abraham to Jesus, passing through the parable of the Bon Samaritan, this crossing in the Scriptures advocates the return to a humble faith, open to otherness. A reading grid engaged, at the risk of interest especially the circles already convinced.
Dreams of children
Make Tom Cruise, his waterfalls, his smile and his motorcycle, objects of contemplation: Mission Impossible? Not for Fabrice Hadjadj, who, in an astonishing essay, ode to the action film transfigured into a spiritual resource, seizes the filmography and the biography of Tom to decode our time … and his generation.
As a teenager When Tom Cruise is at the school of pilots, he exceeded fifty when Maverick returns on the basis, thirty-four years later. The thinker spectator got older, he wonders: what have I had my childhood dreams? Convinced that “We are dormant agents”Fabrice Hadjadj invites us to live the impossible.
