Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La vie chrétienne est une vie surnaturelle ; elle est la vie et la nature de Dieu en nous et à travers nous. De ce fait, il n’est pas possible de la vivre en dehors de la présence de Dieu. Malheureusement, de nombreux chrétiens se contentent d'une vie fade, très ordinaire, considérant que l'expérience de la présence de Dieu est réservée à une catégorie « d'hommes de Dieu ». Pourtant, l'Écriture déclare qu'en Dieu, il n'y a aucune ombre de variation. Autrement dit, Dieu est toujours prêt à transformer toute vie ordinaire en vie extraordinaire si nous sommes conscients de sa présence en nous et des capacités que cette présence nous confère. Dieu recherche des hommes et des femmes qui font de Lui leurs délices et avec qui Il peut traiter en amis. Dans le présent ouvrage, le Dr Mamadou Karambiri nous éclaire sur la manière de pratiquer la présence de Dieu. Il expose entre autres les différentes facettes de la présence de Dieu, les facteurs qui nous empêchent de pratiquer cette présence ainsi que les bénéfices qui s’y attachent. Lire et méditer cet ouvrage vous permettra de vous épanouir spirituellement et vous pourrez alors vous écrier, à la suite du psalmiste, « Mieux vaut un jour dans tes parvis que mille ailleurs » (Psaumes 84:11).
Download or read book Practice of the Presence written by and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Everything is possible for those who believe, even more for those who hope, still more for those who love, and most of all for those who practice and persevere in these three powerful paths." Since it was first published in its pocket-size 1692 edition, Brother Lawrence's spiritual classic has remained in print, beloved by people of varying spiritual paths and religious traditions. With this new translation, award-winning translator Carmen Acevedo Butcher frees it from its centuries-long prison of dogmatic, binary language and brings fresh, inclusive treatment that readers are sure to find transformational. Brother Lawrence's years as a humble kitchen worker at a monastery, often remaining in the shadows of his community, gave way to a spiritual life that was profound. Poor, living with a disability, lacking a formal education, enduring a time of plague and civil unrest, he found God in the depths of his soul, experiencing God's loving presence throughout the day. His personal struggles and life-tested spiritual wisdom will resonate with contemporary readers as he invites us into a practice of Presence that is both accessible and deeply transformative. For the first time, Brother Lawrence's work is translated by Carmen Acevedo Butcher, a woman of color and a renowned scholar of medieval texts, who creates a dynamic, faithful translation for a new generation of readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three-volume series titled The Presence of the Prophet in Early Modern and Contemporary Islam, is the first attempt to explore the dynamics of the representation of the Prophet Muhammad in the course of Muslim history until the present. This first collective volume outlines his figure in the early Islamic tradition, and its later transformations until recent times that were shaped by Prophet-centered piety and politics. A variety of case studies offers a unique overview of the interplay of Sunnī amd Shīʿī doctrines with literature and arts in the formation of his image. They trace the integrative and conflictual qualities of a “Prophetic culture”, in which the Prophet of Islam continues his presence among the Muslim believers.

Download or read book Interiority and Covenant written by Edward Malatesta and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 1978 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first letter of John can rightly be called the Canticle of Canticles of the New Testament. Because of the power of its message which Augustine saw as a prolonged meditation on the love proper to God and to the Christian community, and the exquisite beauty of its form which invites and yet transcends analysis, the Letter has merited the privileged attention accorded to it by centuries of study, contemplation and liturgical celebration. In our own day the Letter is no less scrutinized, meditated and proclaimed. Indeed, the religious sensibility of our times reveals itself as particularly attuned to the Johannine articulation of Christian experience which is characterized by an emphasis upon interiorly, personal relationships, and discernment. The Letter begins not with the normal form of epistolary address, but rather with a solemn and moving Prologue which sets the tone for all that follows. The author situates himself among the privileged witnesses of Christ: That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which are have seen with our eyes, which we have beheld and our hands have felt, concerning the word of life (1,1). His message is about eternal life, that fullness of knowledge and love which belong to God alone, and which the Father willed to share with us by sending His Son Jesus Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La pratique de la présence de Dieu" est un recueil de lettres et de dialogues écrits par le moine chrétien français Frère Laurent au XVIIe siècle. Le livre se concentre sur l'idée de cultiver une relation personnelle avec Dieu par la pratique de la présence de Dieu dans toutes les activités quotidiennes. Frère Laurent soutient que la pratique de la présence de Dieu est essentielle pour développer une relation intime avec Dieu qui ne se limite pas à des moments spécifiques de prière ou de méditation. Dans son livre, il donne des exemples de la manière de mettre en œuvre cette pratique dans les activités quotidiennes telles que la cuisine, le ménage et le travail. Il souligne également l'importance d'avoir un esprit calme et concentré sur Dieu à tout moment, et de lui faire confiance dans toutes les situations. Tout au long de ses écrits, le frère Lawrence aborde également l'importance de l'humilité et de l'abandon dans la relation avec Dieu, et la manière dont la pratique constante de la présence de Dieu peut aider à trouver la paix et le réconfort dans les épreuves et les difficultés de la vie. Ce livre est considéré comme un guide spirituel précieux pour les chrétiens de toutes les confessions. En résumé, ce livre est un recueil d'enseignements spirituels et de réflexions, basé sur l'expérience personnelle de Frère Lawrence, qui cherche à aider les lecteurs à développer une relation plus étroite et plus consciente avec Dieu, en pratiquant sa présence à tout moment et en tout lieu, en recherchant l'humilité et l'abandon à Dieu et en lui faisant confiance à tout moment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Vie de Michel de Marillac, written by his devoted friend Nicolas Lefèvre de Lezeau, is here presented for the first time in its integrity. Important homme d’état, Michel de Marillac (1560-1632) served the French Crown as councillor in the Parlement de Paris, maître des requêtes under Henry IV, and conseiller du roi under Louis XIII. Become a conseiller d’état, he was named Surintendant des finances (from August 1624 to June 1626), then Garde des Sceaux until his disgrace in mid-November 1630, after the famous Day of Dupes. By his intelligence, energy, experience and probity, he was one of the most significant figures in the reign of Louis XIII. Marillac was the principal author of the Ordonnance de 1629, the largest ever codification of French law, which was known familiarly by his name: the “Code Michau”. Chief of the dévot party, he was among the most influential lay persons active in the establishment in France of the Reformed Carmelites (1602-1604), the Ursulines (1610) and the Oratorians (1611). He achieved one of the best translations of Thomas à Kempis’s Imitation of Christ and a translation of the Psalms, and was the author of several other scholarly works.
