One of our deep wounds is that we are far, a little here and a lot there, from the aspirations of the Word. In most of what is required by our regeneration, you see us seeking anything but the Word. Who taught us to separate heaven from earth? Who told us that heaven does not ...

Seeing the Goodness
A truly conscious person refuses to be ruled by a sick or distorted memory in any matter, political or personal... Nothing is harder than the disappearance, for a while, of the history of wounds within us. Am I talking about a curable disease? Yes, if we break the mirrors that drive us to crucify others ...
Read moreEvangelizing the Depths
A meeting, which I join every week, prompted me to re-read Simone Pacot’s book: “Evangelizing the Depths” (An-Nour Cooperative, 2016). I do not know who of you has read the book.

The world is in crisis. This was left behind by the pandemic, the economic erosion and the wars…! I did not overlook the mention of sins. I consider that the devastation they leave behind in us needs no mention. How does the world heal? This is a question which presumes that we remember that Man, ...
Read moreGod’s Generosity
O God, O our God Who is All-knowing, be gracious unto us with Your mercy and Your strength. Does the Lord stipulate anything from His servants? Do not expect anything good from us. You be our good. You hearken unto us both when we speak and when we are silent. We are people who know ...
