Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un recueil de textes commentés pour découvrir ou redécouvrir la pensée chrétienne à travers l'un de ses guides. Le 18 octobre 2015, pour la toute première fois, l’Église a canonisé un couple : Louis et Zélie Martin, les parents de sainte Thérèse de Lisieux. Non à cause de leur fille, mais parce qu’ils offrent aux chrétiens d’aujourd’hui un modèle de sainteté déployée dans une vie ordinaire : travailleurs, parents, engagés dans la société, ils surent mettre Dieu au cœur de leurs activités et faire de cette vie ordinaire une aventure d’amour extraordinaire. Ce livre, qui nous invite à vivre une retraite sous la houlette de Louis et Zélie, maîtres en spiritualité de la vie laïque, s’adresse en particulier aux familles mais également aux nombreux amis de la famille Martin et de sainte Thérèse, qui souhaiteraient découvrir dans la prière l’origine de sa fulgurante sainteté, et un couple pas comme les autres. Se ressourcer et apprendre pendant quinze jours en compagnie d'un maître spirituel. EXTRAIT Moi aussi, je voudrais bien être une sainte, mais je ne sais par quel bout commencer ; il y a tant à faire que je me borne au désir. Je dis souvent, dans la journée : « Mon Dieu, je voudrais bien être une sainte ! » (CF 154). Quelque temps avant sa mort, Zélie exprime ainsi ce qui fut le désir de toute sa vie, désir qu’elle partageait avec Louis qui confiait de son côté : « Oui j’ai un but, et ce but c’est d’aimer Dieu de tout mon cœur » (PO). Pour comprendre la vie de Louis et Zélie, sa fécondité, et ce qu’elle peut nous enseigner pour notre propre vie, il faut garder à l’esprit ce qui en fut le moteur intime : le désir de Dieu, de l’aimer et de le faire aimer, en un mot le désir d’être saint. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Licenciée en philosophie, Hélène Mongin a longtemps travaillé à l’Office Central de Lisieux, entreprise dévolue à la diffusion du message de sainte Thérèse, avant de rejoindre les Éditions de l’Emmanuel.

Download or read book Prier 15 jours avec L onie Martin written by Chantal-Marie Rondeau and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Léonie Martin (1863-1941) est la fille rebelle des saints époux Louis et Zélie Martin. Ici, nulle question de parcours éclatant ou de sainteté exemplaire. "Couverte de défauts comme d'un manteau", Léonie déconcerte toute sa famille tant par son indiscipline que ses échecs scolaires à répétition. Tellement différente de ses quatre soeurs, elle craint d'avoir été "changée en nourrice". Après une enfance jugée "détestable" et une adolescence chaotique, "la pauvre Léonie" cherche sa voix pendant treize longues années. Ce n'est qu'à l'âge de trente-six qu'elle parvient enfin à se stabiliser chez les visitandines de Caen, où elle devient soeur Françoise-Thérèse. Sa devise ? "Confiante envers et contre tous !" Cette audace lui vaudra même d'atteindre le sommet de l'enfance spirituelle. Au gré des notes intimes et correspondances inédites de la moins douée des filles Martin, découvrons une figure attachante dont le style décapant ne laissera personne indifférent. Sa cause de béatification est en cours.

Download or read book Why We Play written by Roberte Hamayon and published by Hau. This book was released on 2016 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Play is one of humanity's straightforward yet deceitful ideas: though the notion is unanimously agreed upon to be universal, used for man and animal alike, nothing defines what all its manifestations share, from childish playtime to on stage drama, from sporting events to market speculation. Within the author's anthropological field of work (Mongolia and Siberia), playing holds a core position: national holidays are called "Games," echoing in that way the circus games in Ancient Rome and today's Olympics. These games convey ethical values and local identity. Roberte Hamayon bases her analysis of the playing spectrum on their scrutiny. Starting from fighting and dancing, encompassing learning, interaction, emotion and strategy, this study heads towards luck and belief as well as the ambiguity of the relation to fiction and reality. It closes by indicating two features of play: its margin and its metaphorical structure. Ultimately revealing its consistency and coherence, the author displays play as a modality of action of its own. "Playing is no 'doing' in the ordinary sense" once wrote Johan Huizinga. Isn't playing doing something else, elswhere and otherwise ?

Download or read book Corpus written by Jean-Luc Nancy and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have we thought “the body”? How can we think it anew? The body of mortal creatures, the body politic, the body of letters and of laws, the “mystical body of Christ”—all these (and others) are incorporated in the word Corpus, the title and topic of Jean-Luc Nancy’s masterwork. Corpus is a work of literary force at once phenomenological, sociological, theological, and philosophical in its multiple orientations and approaches. In thirty-six brief sections, Nancy offers us at once an encyclopedia and a polemical program—reviewing classical takes on the “corpus” from Plato, Aristotle, and Saint Paul to Descartes, Hegel, Husserl, and Freud, while demonstrating that the mutations (technological, biological, and political) of our own culture have given rise to the need for a new understanding of the body. He not only tells the story of this cultural change but also explores the promise and responsibilities that such a new understanding entails. The long-awaited English translation is a bold, bravura rendering. To the title essay are added five closely related recent pieces—including a commentary by Antonia Birnbaum—dedicated in large part to the legacy of the “mind-body problem” formulated by Descartes and the challenge it poses to rethinking the ancient problems of the corpus. The last and most poignant of these essays is “The Intruder,” Nancy’s philosophical meditation on his heart transplant. The book also serves as the opening move in Nancy’s larger project called “The deconstruction of Christianity.”

Download or read book Elements of Structural Syntax written by Lucien Tesnière and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume appears now finally in English, sixty years after the death of its author, Lucien Tesnière. It has been translated from the French original into German, Spanish, Italian, and Russian, and now at long last into English as well. The volume contains a comprehensive approach to the syntax of natural languages, an approach that is foundational for an entire stream in the modern study of syntax and grammar. This stream is known today as dependency grammar (DG). Drawing examples from dozens of languages, many of which he was proficient in, Tesnière presents insightful analyses of numerous phenomena of syntax. Among the highlights are the concepts of valency and head-initial vs. head-final languages. These concepts are now taken for granted by most modern theories of syntax, even by phrase structure grammars, which represent, in a sense, the opposite sort of approach to syntax from what Tesnière was advocating. Now Open Access as part of the Knowledge Unlatched 2017 Backlist Collection.

Download or read book Divine Names on the Spot written by Fabio Porzia and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Ancient Greek and Semitic languages resorted to a large range of words to name the divine. Gods and goddesses were called by a variety of names and combinations of onomastic attributes. This broad lexicon of names is characterised by plurality and a tendency to build on different sequences of names; therefore, the Mapping Ancient Polytheisms project focuses on the process of naming the divine in order to better understand the ancient divine in terms of a plurality in the making. A fundamental rule for reading ancient divine names is to grasp them in their context - time and place, a ritual, the form of the discourse, a cultural milieu...: a deity is usually named according to a specific situation. From Artemis Eulochia to al-Lat, al-'Uzza and Manat, from Melqart to "my rock" in the biblical book of Psalms, this volume journeys between the sanctuary on Mount Gerizim and late antique magical practices, revisiting rituals, hymnic poetry, oaths of orators and philosophical prayers. While targeting different names in different contexts, the contributors draft theoretical propositions towards a dynamic approach of naming the divine in antiquity.'

Download or read book Montaigne and Bayle written by Craig B. Brush and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is traditional in the literature on Pierre Bayle to make some refer ene e to iVlontaigne as one of the masters of skepticism in whose tracks he follows, albeit hardly so eloselyas Charron had. Time and again critics feel the need to mention Montaigne and Bayle in the same context, sometimes to contrast their brands of Pyrrhonism, more often to explain similarities in their ideas and methods, which have frequent ly been regarded as important steps in the gradual evolution of un Christian, even anti-Christian, thought. Their names were already associated during Bayle's life, for example, in the mediocre work by Dom Alexis Gaudin, La Distinction et la Nature du Bien et du MaI, Traite ou l'on combat l'erreur des Manicheens, les sentimens de Jvfontaigne & de Charron, & ceux de J. Vfonsieur Bayle. In the nineteen th century, the author of the Dictionnaire historique et critique wa~ generally elassified as a skeptic; and his name was inevi tably linked with the essayist's. In his Port-Royal, Sainte-Beuve pictured Bayle as one of the avowed skeptics in Montaigne's funeral cortege and spoke of both men as "d'autant pIus fourbes qu'ils ne le sont pas toujours." His later works show that he revised his opinion on each somewhat, l but in this he was unusual for his century.

Download or read book Ren written by François-René de Chateaubriand and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1957-12-15 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the writings of Chateaubriand, one above all is both most representative of its author and most significant for reader and student alike. René, a milestone of literature, presents the first genuine and complete picture of that state of spiritual frustration and moral isolation known as le mal du siècle, its causes, symptoms, ravages, and cure. Chateaubriand, a prodigious artist with an incomparable style, enjoys the further distinction of having fused in his work the end of one epoch and the beginning of another. It is sometimes forgotten that these epochs are not only French but also European in scope, and their reverberations as expressed by Chateaubriand have affected almost every subsequent writer of importance up to the present. Chateaubriand is often called the father of romanticism. It may be claimed with equal reason that he is the grandfather of the neo-romanticism of our time. This edition of René contains, as well as a full introduction, notes covering the allusions to place names, events, and personages, and a complete vocabulary.

Download or read book Memoirs of an Egotist written by Stendhal and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the memoirs of Stendahl or in his own words the 'chatter about his private life' between 1821 and 1830. It was between these dates that he moved to Paris and here looks back on his life as an eccentric bachelor. 'As well as Beyle the clairvoyant self-investigator, the sardonic analyst of Parisian salon society and deliberate cultivator of wit, here emerges Beyle the despairing lover, the shakespearean enthusiast, whose romantic sentiment run always parallel with his eighteenth-century logic'. Marie-Henri Beyle - better-known by his pen name, Stendhal - was born in Grenoble, France in 1783. He turned to writing after the final defeat of Napoleon in 1815, notable works include A Life of Rossini (1824), A Life of Napoleon (1929) and The Red and the Black published in 1830. A number of works were published posthumously, including Lamiel (1889), Memoirs of an Egotist (1892) and Lucien Leuwen (1894). Stendhal is now regarded as one of the earliest and foremost practitioners of literary realism.
