Résumé
--
The title, "Sentir et goûter" (To smell and to taste), is taken directly from the spiritual exercises devised by St. Ignatius or more exactly, from the annotations made to help those who 'prescribe' them. For although the exercises form a path designed for two - the person giving the exercises and the person performing them - we cannot fail to notice the discretion imposed on the giver. His or her role is to provide a solid foundation for the other's retreat, so that the retreatant can find their own path, make their own discoveries, experience the 'smell' and the 'taste' in question. In a word, find the 'inner way'. For we do not fulfil and satisfy the soul by knowing a great deal, but by smelling and tasting interior things.' It is in these terms that the retreatant's quest is described: ultimately, to listen to the inner Master. When Ignatius refers to 'smell and taste', he is indicating the very heart of the exercises. In this book, François Marty invites us to explore all their richness, complexity and highly personal character. 'When it comes to smelling and tasting, nobody can do it for you each one of us has to undertake the experience personally. Just like the spiritual path, there are no ready-to-follow instructions for listening to the inner Master.' Not only has François Marty presented an original reading of the exercises, their structure and their content, he has done so bearing in mind the most concrete problems of our times: those related to science, development and the preservation of the creation. In short, all the issues that concern humanity, our lives and our future. François Marty, a philosopher in constant dialogue with theology, brings us an exceptional tool for those who wish to understand spiritual experience.
