L'accueil joyeux du monde et de cette existence charnelle
Jean-Pierre Siméon - Collection Parole presente
Résumé
--
Contrary to a common misconception, Christianity is not a religion that focuses on the forbidden, encouraging people to flee from sin and the pleasures of this world suspicious of the body and sexuality. Christianity is, first and foremost, the thinking and celebration of a gift": God gave Man life. God gave himself to the world and to Man, by making his home among us. To live is, in itself, a good thing even if life is often disappointing, sometimes tragic, and borne as a sorrowful experience. Men are all called upon to be God's children. So they are brothers. Only one commandment has been given to us: an invitation not to asceticism, but to love... the love of God and in the same movement, love of our brothers. In Christianity, as in most forms of human wisdom, asceticism signifies that self-control necessary to accord a rightful place to the other, to humanity, to giving, to goodness, to God. By reflecting on the benediction that the world and Man have received, on the pleasure and the many ways to self-accomplishment by treating questions of sacrifice and evangelical poverty thoroughly but in simple terms, the author clearly shows the necessary but discreet role reserved for asceticism and invites us to sing a joyful welcome to the world and our carnal existence."
