"Thou hast made us for yourself, O Lord "

" The temple which he spoke was his body " (Jn 2:21)

What is holding the man standing? This is the poignant question on the nature of man that I am asked the sculptor Giacometti and texts on this third Sunday of Lent. The graceful silhouette

bronze staggers, capsizes, falls, collapses. The body plays with space, dancing with a vacuum, fall into nothingness, and question them. The law of gravity is returning humans to the humus, the man on earth, Adam primordial mud.
Here do not even matter to bow to any idol, the man disappears empty. He lost breath, no longer exists.

man who lost capsizes: Jesus is also outraged at the indignity of the Temple, home of the Father where traffic is no longer adored. Where to meet the Lord now, if his people there invokes his most holy name?

Now Jesus, tormented by love, not resigned to the absence, emptiness, lack of faith of his contemporaries: he offers his body as a place of rendezvous and encounter with the Father.

And here comes the body and broken: man alone, stripped, destroyed, which in three short days will become only the secret place, a jewel box of obedience to the wisdom and power of God are given, forever, to all men who believe in him, the son of God.

Lord, come live in our hearts, we become to our whole temple of your Holy Spirit, good way of Lent.

" Lord, you are my light "

Paul Klee (1878-1940), Former Air, 1925, Kunstmuseum, Basel (Switzerland)

"Jesus takes Peter, and Jean Jacques away on a high mountain. And he was transfigured before them. "
(Mark 9.2)

With Paul Klee, it is given us to contemplate the light in the silence of unknowing.

The silence of the mountains. Under the bright cloud
the Word is silent, Pierre, Jacques and Jean are Earth: it is only in silence can hear the voice of the Father: "This is my beloved Son. "There, he saw the spiritual experience of Jesus, the disciples immersed in the intimacy of the Father, that we share with them in meditation this word. This heavy silence is also one of love, because the son is the beloved, who does not hide from his divine sonship. The Transfiguration reveals the intimate encounter of two hearts in love and that love is also for us. The bright cloud descended upon all those who allowed themselves to move up the mountain.

The light in the night.
the center of the table: the light, as Christ became transfigured his three disciples. A light that does not crush, but spreads slowly, imperceptibly. A light that incorporates glare and dark areas. A light does not erase the folds of the canvas but transfigured. For the transfiguration is not a transformation that would make us different and better things, it is the light that springs from our mundane, sometimes boring, sometimes scary, sometimes suffering.

The vibration of matter.
Heaven only revealed on the earth and the earth when it receives it. Each small colored square, next to one another (despite the almost similar) is good news passer. As Jesus is connected to the Father, each small square is connected to its neighbor is the sweet fire of love fellowship. So, very humbly, the brightness of the only Son of light and continues to give through the brothers and sisters.

Let us for the lights on in our hearts still shine ... good way of Lent.

" Lord, teach me your ways "

Mario and Luigi GG 105 1960, Tempera on canvas, 141 x 200 cm, Museum of Modern Art of Ca 'Pesaro, Venice.

" 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.
