Résumé
--
Praying will always be a sign of youthfulness: because to pray is to hope for the best. With advancing age, we are less inclined to let ethereal images and harrowing fantasies take the place of God. Moses was afraid Saint John the Baptist trembled Saint Paul stammered. And what do we do? These titans and Jean-Paul II shared the same maxim: "Don't be afraid!" It is at those very times when we find ourselves either lost in the mist, or experiencing real joy, that Someone reveals Himself at our side: He waits for us. He laid down all his arms. He became poor. He knelt before Saint Peter, and does so before us, to tell us: 'It is you, my creature, you are the one who matters' while we, impatient or trembling, reply 'But no, lord, it is You who matter.' He continues, and, from high on the Cross, insists: 'No, it is you, my creature, you are my friend, you are the one that counts." A mystery of love and reciprocity. It is God who is praying to us. To hear this message is called: praying. What secret happiness! It is perhaps the only certainty. Yes, 'praying': the only hope of leaving a mark on the face of the earth. [Bernard Bro]
