Résumé
--
'For pity's sake, let me see your face!' To seek out and reveal the true face of God is a very topical concern, for it is a face that is often disfigured. What God do we believe in? Is it the one revealed by Jesus? A loving, yet hidden God a holy, yet very close God? A God who resides with us and within us? Today men insist not only that we speak to them about God, but that we 'show them' what he is like. But God shows through more than he appears. That presupposes an experience of God and only the saints were capable of that. They gave an indication of what God is like because they had climbed the mountain from which one descends with a countenance of light. Above all, they had followed in the footsteps of Jesus, the only man who has seen the Father. Seeking out and revealing the true face of God involves living the spiritual and apostolic experience of Jesus: consenting to live, like Him, the combat and adventure of prayer accepting the challenge of love up to the relinquishment of oneself entering into His Passover as the place of greatest love, where joy is mysteriously compatible with tears letting ourselves be led by the Holy Spirit who permits us to bless in all circumstances bearing witness, like apostles, to mercy and invincible hope living in the Church as in the lieu of all our perseverance. 'The Mirror of God', Mary teaches us, lastly, that our vocation as Christians consists in being, for our brothers, the 'face of God'.
