Entre épreuves et renouveaux, la passion de l'évangile
Claude Dagens - Collection Documents des églises
Résumé
--
In recent years, the writings and opinions of Mgr Claude Dagens have deeply marked reflection on the Church and its mission. In this latest book, he speaks once again as a witness. Though fully aware of the difficulties of our times, he remains full of hope for the future of the Christian faith and what it offers humanity."Sometimes we are not allowed to speak, and we suffer. But often, we are mute. We don't know what to say or we fear being ignored or misunderstood. I meet and I admire those priests and lay people who are happy - you can see it - to tell others where their sources lie: in the force of the Gospel, in prayer - real places of fraternal life. On that subject, read 'Petit éloge du catholicisme' by Patrick Kéchichian. He doesn't call for Catholic triumphalism, but a true Christian assurance, an authentic simplicity that allows us to talk about the essential, about God, with us, his Alliance, his Presence, his Forgiveness... And I assure you - that freedom to tell others what we believe - it also exists in the Académie française, as I was able to observe with a mixture of astonishment and joy."The questions posed by religious indifference and the visibility of the Church are, of course, manifold. They can also be fruitful if they give Christians good reason to make progress in the practice of evangelisation. For,"between the ordeals and the revivals we experience, it is our passion for the Gospel that constantly nourishes our lives and our ministry. Each of us in his or her own way can echo the words of the apostle Paul addressing the presbyters of Ephesus as he took his leave: 'My aim is to finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the Gospel of the grace of God' (Acts 20, 24)"."
