How To Make A Cake Helmet

The Word which saves

"Let me come to a word saving, "writes the Prince in Suppliants Aeschylus (translated Olivier Py).

Today in dissecting and meditating on the first chapter of Luke on the visit of the Angel to Zechariah and Mary, j I saw a mountain streams emerge.

This mountain is the thrust of the desire of God to man. Whenever the Angel speaks, or the Holy Breath inspires humans, the first words that drip on the lips of the inspired words are good, "rejoicing", "blessing," "Life," "good news", "happiness", "joy", "love." it's overflowing everywhere!

is the gift that is offered, but to receive it, I have to be put me in a condition of receptivity, host. Jean-Baptiste must "prepare for the Lord a people capable of accepting." And you, Nick, you wait for your Jean-Baptiste, what he has to make you able to host it.

Other words then come "back", "deliver", "open", "to untie", "forgive", "save" ... Greek uses a word I do not know the vocabulary of the conversion: epistreupho, which means "look" but with the additional concept of being "all cons, in contact."

It's not just a movement, a trip, a pivot to turn to someone else physically, but also to abolish the distance between the Other and me as if I turned and touched (and was touched by him ).

Lord, when I saw the storm of goodness, kindness, love knocking at my inner embankment, I've prayed my

Breeze dike
your waves that overwhelm the;
Opens breach in me that your waters
invade my land and arid
outweigh my unbelief
Cover me with your Word of life: and I
reborn.
