“Israel’s plan for the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip is progressing at a rapid pace, perhaps even better than expected. In addition to the significant achievements already made in systematic killing and destruction, the last few days have seen a crucial achievement: deliberate starvation has begun to yield results.

I come to express, my dear Joxé, my long-standing, silent gratitude and admiration. You possessed extraordinary qualities: you were a sharp thinker, a brilliant speaker, and a prolific writer. A spur to reflection, an inspiration for action, a tactful companion of the flesh-and-blood human being full of contradictions, a spirited promoter of a society made […]

Dear Nico, It was a lovely surprise to hear that you are going to make your first communion, that you have decided to commune with Jesus, to see the world through his eyes and to be inspired by his vital breath. It is a wonderful choice. I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart! […]
My friend, you hold in your hands a lucid and daring book, worthy of its provocative title: Le Credo de Nicée est-il toujours croyable? (Is the Nicene Creed still credible?).

Pope Francis rests in peace. It matters little whether his worn-out body rests in St. Peter’s Basilica or in that of St. Mary Major or in a humble niche in any Rome cemetery. May he rest in peace, in the deep peace of Mother Earth, in the eternal creative peace that sustains and moves the […]

1 – We celebrate the passover of Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth, condemned and crucified because of his brotherly and risky life, his liberating and free life, his paschal life. We celebrate the passover of Jesus because we recognize that his life of solidarity and violent death were a passover, a liberating passage from life […]

You left us “with the palms of your hands to the wind, with no other handhold than the air, where the Being, my true home, breathes”.

In the morning of March 22, I received the following email message: “Last night, Hélène left us in her sleep, quietly, just like that. She passed away gently, with no fighting. She was efficient all her life and without making any fuss. We will miss her”. These words express all the essentials with the sober […]
I cannot say that I was disappointed by the Synod’s Final Document on Synodality, because disappointment is only possible when there are expectations. But I feel deeply sorry for so many men and women (especially women) who had said to themselves, “This time yes, the Synod will succeed! May God be blessed!” Yes, may Life, […]
