Bienheureux ceux qui pleurent !

"Le sourire optimiste devant la privation matérielle, l’effort moral de se réjouir devant le sacrifice, heureux de comprendre que le bonheur n’est pas fonction de bijoux ou de vêtements ; l’esprit qui chante son Magnificat pendant que de grosses larmes associent le pauvre corps à l’épreuve qui nous visite.
Heureux ceux qui pleurent, victimes des duretés implacables de la matière qui frappe ou qui se dérobe, mais radieux de se sentir supérieurs à ces corps par l’absolu de leur courage."

R.P. de Chivré

"The optimistic smile in the face of material deprivation, the moral effort to be delighted in the face of the sacrifice, content and satisfied to understand that happiness is not related to jewels or clothing; this is the spirit which sings its Magnificat while large tears accompany the poor body the test which visits us.
Happy those who cry, victims of the relentless difficulties of the matter which strikes in any manner or which are concealed, but radiant to feel , as if dwelling above, outside, of these bodies by their absolute courage." Father de Chivré
