Résumé
--
Blindness is an ordeal which obliges one to live differently by accepting, on a day to day basis, the physical, psychological, intellectual and relational aspects of this handicap, even in one's search for God. Assuming her own partial and progressive blindness, the author has sought to find meaning in an experience that is often disconcerting from a personal and social point of view. One day, the author was deeply touched by Jesus' consideration for an anonymous woman who had been blind from birth, and by the question he asked another blind person, a man called Bartimaeus: 'What do you want?' The question was addressed to her and her blind friends. So Jeanne-Marie Pagnoux began working to "see" blindness as it occurs in the Bible. She discovered how much these human realities, which the authors of the Bible encountered regularly in their social environment, represent the knowledge of God and the desire to live in communion with him. Thus she found, in the course of her research, reasons to live from day to day and maintain hope based on a promise: we are all called upon to see. In publishing the fruit of this search, Jeanne-Marie Pagnoux has a triple ambition: to inform sighted people about certain aspects related to the handicap of blindness to let her sight-impaired friends know that Christ can confer meaning to their experience and to invite her readers, regardless of their own experience, to a very deep meditation on existence and a contemplation of the mystery in the face of which we are all blind. Faith in life is multi-nuanced, and faith in God, when it is rooted in the reality of life, with its ups and downs, can reach heights we never imagined. To each of us our own experience!
