There are times when we feel we are no longer sure about certain things which we thought we knew well. We suddenly become aware that we may need to take into consideration some factors and readjust our thinking. It could be so regarding… wealth, riches, possessions… It may be that […]
3è dimanche de l’Avent, année B – 2023-2024
Plaisir, joie, bonheur – ces mots se retrouvent souvent dans nos conversations. La répétition que nous en faisons n’indique-t-elle pas un besoin, un espoir, une attente? Qui de nous ne désire pas être heureux/heureuse? La question ne se pose même pas! Ce 3è dimanche de l’Avent est justement connu comme […]
4è dimanche de l’année A – 2023
Le bulletin quotidien des nouvelles, locales ou internationales, ne manque pas de présenter de l’information sur l’économie. « Ça va de soi, direz-vous: l’économie ça touche tout un chacun, ça intéresse tout le monde! » Et… la pauvreté?

17th Sunday of Year A

25th Sunday of the Year, C
