4è dimanche de Pâques, année B -2024
Récemment, dans un abribus, j’entendais une personne dire à une autre : « Ce que tu me dis est vraiment extraordinaire, si ce n’était pas toi qui me rapportes cela, je ne le croirais pas! » Cette conversation m’est revenue à l’esprit en lisant l’évangile de ce dimanche (Jean 10:11-18). […]
