"Quel jugement pour notre siècle ! Nous, les éternels tourmentés d’argent et de plaisir, les affamés de luxe, les assoiffés de confort, les obsédés de progrès matériel, sensible et sensuel, les préoccupés d’avoir autant, plus et mieux que le voisin. Si la faim et la soif de Dieu avaient davantage tourmenté nos consciences, nos pensées, nos efforts, nos démarches, nous connaîtrions des bonheurs aujourd’hui remplacés par d’étranges lamentations."
R.P. de Chivré
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice!
"What a judgement for our century! Us, eternally tormented by money and pleasure, the famished ones of luxury, those parched for comfort, obsessed by material, significant and sensual progress, concerned about having as much, or more and better than one's neighbor.
If the hunger and the thirst for God had further tormented our consciences, our thoughts, our efforts, our steps, we could have known of the happinesses now replaced by strange lamentations."
Father de Chivré
