Prayer, every morning in the world.
The morning prayer sparkles. The body limbers up to honor the new day. The hand turns over the covers, summoned to wait for the revolution of the day to find a use again. Thrown aside, crumpled, they sag, overturned on the bed when the body rises in the splendor of the dawning day. An eternal moment that recurs as long as the Continue reading

Benedict XVI in Paradise!
—Is it morning or evening? My breath stopped, then started again. As if it were giving signs of a defect. It was leaving me. The pneuma was leaving me. I breathed that I was ready.

Of the authority

It was in June 1985, in Pont-à-Mousson, at the end of the conference "Music in the Church Today." Maurice Fleuret—may he rest in peace—the magnificent director of music and dance for Minister Jack Lang, spoke. Words of fire. Of supplication; one can say so, since he himself begged.

Lauda Zion
A magnificent sequence in the Corpus Christi Mass, written by Saint Thomas Aquinas, this dogmatic poetry praises the new and true Zion, the Church. Benedict XVI said of this Mass: "These are texts that make the waves of the heart vibrate, while the intelligence, penetrating with wonder into the mystery, recognizes in the Eucharist the presence Continue reading
