Au întrebat unii din părinți pe avva Pimen, zicând: De vom vedea vreun frate păcătuind, voiești să-l mustrăm? I se părea că a văzut pe un frate al lui păcătuind cu o femeie și, mult fiind luptat, ducându-se, i-a lovit cu piciorul...

Sfântul Ioan de Kronstadt: Cum se poate ca o rugăciune sinceră să fie atât de eficientă? Duhul Sfânt care lucrează în mine lucrează şi în ei în acelaşi moment, El care îndeplineşte totul. „Un trup suntem cei mulţi; căci toţi ne împărtăşim dintr-o pâine” (I Corinteni 10, 17) 👉 https://c.aparatorul.md/8vzvt 👈 #Agape #Aproapele #DuhulSfant #EditorialiștiiBisericii #iubire #iubirecreștină #iubireaaproapelui #IubireaDeDumnezeu #iubireanecondiţionată #milasiiubirealuiD...

It has taken me 7 months, but I finally finished reading SIMONE WEIL: A LIFE by Simone Pétrement (1973, transl. 1976).
Even though I alraady knew the tragic ending of Weil's too-brief life...
...still, I feel very much like I just witnessed the death of a dear friend, admired mentor, and prophet who accurately described what we're living in now.
Rest in peace and grace, Simone Weil. You were magic, and still are.

Having chosen sanctity as a defense against excoriation as a toddler, certain aspects of my character, like insufferability, got exasperated
But there are definite pluses
My general attitude toward anyone is #agape and I screw it up all the time, but always training back toward the agape
But there's something else that while I watch the revenge club I feel so grateful is generally not within me I can brood and be bitter but I don't seek revenge
I couldn't be very agape if I did
And I have a couple different ways of looking at it but it's one of the ways that I actually have a rather wry and dry sense of salvation
But also my own little proof of God
When someone is treating me poorly, in the first place I know that they can do it again so I know who to avoid but then in the second place if that is their character then one of the things that I feel absolutely is the trust that their poor choices or nasty choices inevitably, in the long run reap the worlwind
As I like to throw out when it's an especially delicious crab rave or something horrible happens to someone notoriously bad, that when God says 'vengeance is mine' a better translation is 'chill, hold my beer'
You want to talk about a smugstorm...

I sometimes get excited about silly things.
I recently started using the
caddywebserver in place ofnginxbecause I wanted to try usingSRVrecords to point my reverse proxy at a pool of API servers using different ports.SRVrecords include port information, so they're handy for that purpose. The OSS version ofnginxdoesn't support usingSRVrecords in this way.http://agape.money { handle_path /api* { reverse_proxy { dynamic srv _api._tcp.dev.agape.money } } handle { reverse_proxy web-service.agape.svc.cluster.local:3000 } }The API servers are running on ports
8081and8082under the_api._tcpname. The more general catchall is pointing at a dynamic record managed by an internal Kubernetes cluster pointing at aservicein theagapenamespace. -

The strength of the common good can be traced through the Greek forms of #love.
#Eros is appetitive and possessive—the selfish engine of market exchange, always hungry to consume more.
#Philia runs deeper: once the bond of civic friendship, the solidarity that held republican citizens together in the shared polis, in koinonia.
#Agape goes further still: self-giving, gratuitous, oriented to the good itself.

Défendre quand même l’Église.
Chrétien conscient, comment ne pas être saisi·e, comment ne pas être déchiré·e, comment ne pas être traversé·e de ce double feu quand il s’agit d’elle, l’Église ? D’un côté, la honte immense, l’accusation légitime, l’insoutenable fardeau de ses fautes, de ses crimes, de ses trahisons. Et de l’autre, la mémoire vivante, l’inépuisable source, le flot de tendresse et de soin, la braise de beauté et de foi qui ne s’est jamais éteinte. Oui, les Croisades, oui l’Inquisition, oui les abus, les compromissions, les complicités, les silences. Oui la salissure, oui la violence. Mais oui aussi l’autre aventure, oui aussi l’autre histoire, celle qui, sans elle, nous, chrétiens, ne serions pas là, celle qui, sans elle, une partie de notre civilisation, certes non unique, ne serait que poussière et cendres.
Car qui a recueilli les pauvres, les orphelins, les affamé·e·s, les vieillard·e·s, quand nul État, nulle République, nulle société civile n’existait encore ? L’Église. Qui a pansé les plaies, ouvert des hôpitaux, veillé sur les pestes, sur les famines, sur les guerres, quand tout le reste s’effondrait ? L’Église. Elle a failli, oui, mais elle a tenu aussi. Elle a chuté, oui, mais elle a porté. Elle a trahi, oui, mais elle a sauvé. Et toujours dans l’ombre de ce verset incandescent : « Ce que vous avez fait au plus petit de mes frères, c’est à moi que vous l’avez fait » (Mt 25, 40).
Et l’art ? Et la beauté ? Où s’est-elle engendrée, sinon sous les voûtes, sous les chants, sous la prière ? Chaque village, chaque ville, chaque pays a sa pierre levée vers le ciel. Cathédrales, églises, fresques, icônes, vitraux, musiques, chants, partitions éternelles, œuvres offertes au silence de l’âme. Nul·le mécène plus vaste, nul·le inspirateurice plus fécond·e. C’est longtemps l’Église qui a donné abri à la beauté humaine.
Et la pensée ? Et le savoir ? Quand l’Empire romain enfin s’effondrait, quand les bibliothèques brûlaient, quand la nuit tombait, qui a copié, recopié, transmis ? Qui a gardé Platon, Aristote, Socrate, Cicéron ? Qui a engendré la langue française, l’université, le débat d’idées ? Qui a tissé, avec Benoît et ses monastères, la trame serrée de l’Europe, son épine dorsale ? L’Église. Sans elle, nous n’aurions pas de mémoire, nous n’aurions pas notre écriture, nous n’aurions pas ce passé.
Et que dire enfin du lieu ? L’église de pierre, ouverte chaque dimanche, réceptacle de nos joies, de nos douleurs, de nos détresses, de nos espérances. Lieu de pleurs et de fêtes, lieu de mariages et de funérailles, lieu d’accueil et de silence, lieu de lumière et de braise. Oui, elle a failli, mais elle a porté l’humanité à bout de bras pendant des siècles. Oui, elle s’est salie, mais elle a sauvé des vies, des âmes, des corps, des peuples, des civilisations.
Alors comment la réduire au seul tribunal de ses fautes ? Comment la condamner à l’oubli, quand elle a tant donné ? Défendre l’Église ne veut pas dire la blanchir. Défendre l’Église ne veut pas dire oublier. Défendre l’Église, c’est dire la vérité tout entière : la vérité des crimes, mais aussi la vérité des merveilles. Et comme chrétien c’est choisir malgré tout de croire que dans sa faiblesse demeure la force, que dans ses blessures demeure la grâce, que dans sa pauvreté demeure le Christ.
Attention : je ne fais aucune hiérarchie entre les Églises, les temples, les synagogues, les mosquées — toutes expressions diverses et multiples de nos richesses humaines. Et je m’en défendrais fermement.
Je dis simplement pourquoi j’aime l’Église, tout en respectant et en comprenant celles et ceux qui aiment leur temple, leur synagogue, leur mosquée — et même celles et ceux qui, restant à l’écart du divin ou du surnaturel, connaissent l’éveil dans la nature.
Il y a mille chemins. Et chacun mérite d’être écouté pour cellui qui l’aime.Haïku
Sous la pierre froide,
des mains tendent le pain vivant,
Dieuxe reste présent.Tanka
Entre ombre et lumière,
l’Église porte ses fautes,
mais aussi nos vies.
Elle trahit et elle sauve,
elle tombe et nous relève.Sonnet d’un autre genre
Église aux murs tachés de sang et de lumière,
Où l’ombre et la clarté s’entrelacent sans fin,
Tu fus bras secourable et tu fus main de fer,
Tu portas nos vertus comme nos lendemains.On t’accuse, et c’est juste : croisades, inquisition,
Les abus, les silences, les complicités noires ;
Mais qu’on regarde aussi ton autre mission,
Soigner, instruire, sauver, transmettre et faire mémoire.Dans tes pierres encore résonnent les prières,
Dans tes chants s’élève l’espérance obstinée ;
Et malgré la poussière et les fautes amères,
C’est ton souffle qui tient la lampe allumée.Si l’on nie ta laideur, on trahit la vérité ;
Mais si l’on nie ta grâce, on renie l’humanité.PS pour ma sœur qui s’interroge beaucoup 😉 : voici le miens de texte. Nous en avions parlé un soir avec Ludovic à la paroisse. Nous avions le désir de parler de la même chose.

Au întrebat unii din părinți pe avva Pimen, zicând: De vom vedea vreun frate păcătuind, voiești să-l mustrăm? I se părea că a văzut pe un frate al lui păcătuind cu o femeie și, mult fiind luptat, ducându-se, i-a lovit cu piciorul... Și de fapt erau snopi de grâu. 👉 https://c.aparatorul.md/61htt 👈 #Agape #AvvaPimen #Ceartă #certare #Curvie #Desfrânare #Dumnezeu #iartășinucerta #IisusHristos #judecareaaproapelui #Judecata #monah #mustrați #mustrare #pateric #Pateri...
