" The most humble gesture of repentance and exorcism stammering a prayer, that's what matters first in this gigantic power of the fallen world and the world comes, is the great work. "
Olivier Clement, transfigured time, 1959.
In the story of Jesus in the desert, Mark the Evangelist gives no details or narrative of the hardships endured temptations. His story is simple, concise, unsaid. Meditating on an abstract canvas joined the dismay of the reader and anecdotes without reference.
We must look at the surface of the canvas and enter like a desert. Carefully, as Moses approached the burning bush. Do not be frightened of what can not be told, what does not appeal. Agree not to see and do not know.
Then the curtain reveals itself and she becomes animated, and she moves. The white lines are becoming myriad rays of light shimmering appearance on the beige sand.
There are dark and light areas. There is a space and a space behind the front. Between the two, imagine Jesus living with wild beasts and served by angels, perfectly unified source of peace. He is our new arc Alliance, not not asked in the sky by the Lord to Noah (Gen 9:13) but deep in our heart, the presence of the Kingdom and made time. "Repent and believe in us the good news! "(Mk 1:15).
To all seekers of God ... Good way to Lent.
Sr. Nathalie CSJ, St. Guilhem le Desert, 1 March 2009.
