L'agonie
"Jésus se prosterne trois fois devant son Père pour Lui dire qu'il se soumet à sa volonté malgré toute la répugnance de sa pauvre nature humaine qui s'y oppose. [...] Quelquefois la volonté de Dieu est bien dure pour nous, surtout quand elle demande le sacrifice de nous -même, de notre vie, de notre réputation, de notre amour, de notre honneur, de tout ce que nous avons de plus cher, pour l'expiation de nos fautes. Mais à l'exemple de Jésus, nous devons répéter avec lui : "Que votre volonté soit faite et non la mienne" (cf. Lc 22,42).
Père Antoine Chevrier
A la prière de Marie, accorde-nous, Seigneur, cette grâce de la prière qui nous ouvre à ta volonté.

MERCI BEAUCOUP for posting that up. once in a while (or should i say, "often"...i guess it depends on 'who') people (esp. us in the western world) often forgets that it's not about us. being distracted (or should i say blinded? but i don't want to be too harsh) by consumerism, and relativist mind set...the need to seek God has never been more crucial than today.
it's so important to seek HIM first and foremost. i mean, how else are we ever going to find out what He has for us if we can't see (or hear)Him in the light of Truth. i'm saying thank you because we need that reminder that it's really about God. It's all about HIS will is for us, not our desires. I guess when it comes to discerning, Jesus is THE perfect example of how it should be done...
Godspeed and i'll continue to pray for your journey...Take care
p.s. by the way, reading a french seminary's blog who is halfway across the world is pretty cool, just another great reminder how truly CATHOLIC our church is.
Je te reponde sur ma Blog parce que te racconte qualcuqe chose de moi sur ce que tu ha dit
j'avais ecrit séminariste de toi, c'est comme celà?
A lot of comments and little time to answer !
Anonymous, tank you for your prayers and for me to, it is very interesting to see that the whole world and particularly the United States and Canada read this blog! That helps us to relativize our Franco-French problems and to open to the universal world, finally... to be "catholic" !
Chère Gabriella,
Je suis très touché par ta marque d'affection à mon égard et ton témoignage. Cela me conforte dans une idée de créer un blog de témoignages !
Dès que j'ai un peu de temps !
In Christo
Dunstan
