Paroles du Mont Athos

Rate this book
Jean-Yves Leloup ne s'est rendu au mont Athos ni en touriste, ni en curieux, ni en spécialiste de l'oecuménisme, mais en pèlerin soucieux de changer son coeur. Il s'est mis à l'écoute des moines dont il partageait la vie, et en a rapporté ce recueil de paroles qui sonnent clair et élèvent l'âme. Le lecteur se trouve ainsi plongé au coeur du monachisme chrétien oriental, à travers l'entretien d'un jeune homme, épris de vérités essentielles, avec les Anciens qui l'ont précédé sur la voie de la prière et de la quête intérieure. Devenu dominicain, puis prêtre orthodoxe, Jean-Yves Leloup n'avait aucune ligne à changer de ce témoignage : la tradition plus que millénaire qui se vit au mont Athos, toujours empreinte de l'éternelle jeunesse de l'Évangile, répond en effet aux questions les plus cruciales de notre monde en quête de sens.

This short book really cut me to the heart, exposing my pride and self-exultation and calling me to a deeper more real trust, love and submission to the lord jesus christ. It's full of scripture and asks us to live it out. It's a bit extreme at times, being based on instruction meant for munks, so some filtering is also needed. But I believe it's fruitful to be challenged, and reminded of the high calling God has for each one who is willing to respond and follow Christ.
