Transcript
00:00In the lecture of this day, brothers and sisters, Maître Paul, by his first epitre corinthian,
00:16chapter 11, talks about the divisions that can come to the church.
00:21He explains that in regard to these divisions, in the community of Corinth,
00:28he was put in the courant suite to several rumors. Preuve, if there is still an event that this kind of event passes rarely inaperçu
00:35and causes prejudice, often, to the proclamation of the Evangile.
00:40He explains that he has also tend to believe voluntarily these famous rumors,
00:44the fact that he sees the notoriety of some influences influenced by this community.
00:51In fact, the influential personalities sort often from the end of conflict,
00:57and so, in the image of the expression,
00:59there is no fumet without fire, Maître Paul has noticed that for a person to be marked,
01:05it has to have had to have been able to do its preuves,
01:08through various preuves which are often due to its rapport with others.
01:13But then, these are the Egos who express themselves, and not the Parole.
01:18What does it mean?
01:20Iniquities.
01:21Iniquities.
01:22Iniquities.
01:23Iniquities.
01:24Iniquities.
01:25Iniquities.
01:27Iniquities.
01:28Iniquities.
01:29Iniquities.
01:30Iniquities.
01:31Iniquities.
01:32Iniquities.
01:33Iniquities.
01:34Iniquities.
01:35Iniquities.
01:36By the correctaman.
01:37Iniquities.
01:38That must lay very well the people who are involved,
01:39those who eat their own provisions.
01:40Inquities.
01:41Iniquities.
01:42Iniquities.
01:43Iniquities.
01:44it makes note that each one would very well stay at home.
01:48He also provides an interesting detail.
01:52According to him,
01:54the one who has particularly food can eat at the same time,
01:57rather than being individualized in the presence of the rest of the community.
02:01This reflection of his part also shows that the Lord's breakfast in the first place
02:06is not an occasion to be sustained as an extension of the communion.
02:12That's why, in this dimanche, frères and sœurs,
02:15I would like to invite you to think about this notion of communion.
02:19To do this, I will serve you of a contemporane
02:22that we find frequently in all religions at our time.
02:26This is the search in first place du bonheur,
02:30especially often, the sien-prop.
02:33Or, what distinguishes a religion from a spirituality superficielle
02:37to a humanist or new age,
02:39it is precisely the souci du prochain
02:42who makes the church with us.
02:44The word church, of course,
02:46comes from the Greek ecclesia,
02:48which means l'assemblée.
02:50This is not a hasard,
02:52because it is often in his group
02:53that we can observe the true faith in the divine.
02:56Attention, I don't want to want here
02:59certain caricatures or hypocrisies
03:01découlant de ce qu'un homme souhaite souvent
03:03se faire bien voir au sein de sa communauté
03:05à des fins purement égoïstes,
03:07mais plutôt ce véritable intérêt qu'un homme
03:10peut parfois porter à ceux qui l'entourent,
03:13pour leur gain à eux, certes,
03:15mais aussi par extension celui de la communauté.
03:18Ainsi, celui qui souhaite le bien des autres
03:21prendra le risque d'exprimer ce qui ne va pas
03:24plutôt que d'être consensuel.
03:26Car ce qui l'intéresse,
03:27c'est le développement d'autrui,
03:29pas sa réputation
03:30ou l'acceptation que les autres
03:31pourraient avoir vis-à-vis de lui.
03:34Il faut donc chercher la vérité
03:36à travers nos rapports
03:37et non notre confort,
03:39car au moment de la mort,
03:40ce n'est pas nos biens
03:41ou notre renommée
03:42qui seront évalués,
03:44mais bien notre véritable volonté,
03:46la bonne, celle qui à Dieu plaît,
03:49c'est-à-dire celle de notre esprit,
03:51en union à celui de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ.
03:54Amen.
