L'or, l'encens et la myrrhe
Juliette Marneffe Lebréquier - Collection Epiphanie
Résumé
--
These freely-written poems flowed from the pen in response to situations of everyday life, meditations of the Scriptures or liturgy. They are episodes of the Gospel or the Bible which, during prayer, came to mind unbidden, linking themselves to life. Or, on the contrary it was life, an event, a tree or a plant that recalled the Gospels and inspired a text. They are psalms that transform into prayer, litanies or simply calls to God - sometimes reproaching, often complaining. Sometimes the pen is placed in the hand of the Almighty, who sermons, expresses astonishment, laments, admires or exhorts. These texts - some of them short, others expanding into meditation - were not written for publication. But they were soon arranged in order and titles came naturally to mind: 'Me' and 'You' (the Lord), 'Thou' (those of the Old Testament), 'She' (Mary) and 'It' (the Spirit), 'Self' (the Church, since it is all of us), 'And Then' (the beyond, full of life and hope). Easy to understand, and close to everyday life, these poems were appreciated by groups of reflection who found they helped them to pray and to think deeply. So, one day, someone realised they might also be useful to a wider public. "Lord, I am here in front of you after a long trek through the night... And I fall at your feet, My empty hands powdered with gold, Bathed in incense and Perfumed with myrrh.
