« Jésus voyant tout ce peuple, monta sur une montagne, et s'étant assis, ses disciples s'approchèrent de Lui. »
Evangile selon saint Matthieu, chapitre V, verset 1.
Selon saint Jean Chrysostome, "Jésus nous apprend par cet exemple à ne rien faire par vanité, et à nous retirer du bruit et du tumulte du monde, principalement lorsque nous voulons nous appliquer à la contemplation de la Vérité, et nous entretenir des choses saintes et éternelles."
“Jesus teaches us by His example to make nothing out of the vanity of the world, and to withdraw ourselves from the noise and tumult of the world, mainly when we want to apply ourselves to the contemplation of the Truth and to maintain within ourselves things holy and eternal."
Les Béatitudes selon le Révérend Père de Chivré
Bienheureux les pauvres en esprit !
"Les volontés assez humaines et assez sublimes pour se passer du superflu, se contenter du nécessaire, se détacher du trop.
Les volontés assez fortes pour vivre le meilleur de leur vie en elles-mêmes, dans le royaume du devoir et de la charité, sans s’inquiéter des pleurnicheries de leur sensibilité égratignée par le manque de confort et crucifié par l’absolu de l’amour."
Blessed are the poor in spirit!
“Rather the human wills which are sublime enough to do without
superfluity, to be satisfied with what is necessary, and to be detached from excess.
Enough strong wills to live the best of their life in themselves, in the kingdom of the duty and charity, without worrying or
whining about their sensitivity which has been wounded by the lack of comfort and crucified by the absolute of Love."
