LE PETIT PLACIDE

Regla de San Benito

Aujourd’hui aussi, Dieu nous demande d’être les « gardiens » de nos frères (cf. Gn 4, 9), d’instaurer des relations caractérisées

par un empressement réciproque, par une attention au bien de l’autre et à tout son bien.

Si nous cultivons ce regard de fraternité, la solidarité, la justice ainsi que la miséricorde et la compassion jailliront naturellement de notre cœur.

Benoît XVI sermon de carême.

"S'il est une consolation parmi les agitations et les peines de la société humaine,

C'est la foi sincère et l'affection réciproque de bons et vrais amis."

Saint Augustin

"dura et aspera per quae itur ad Deum"

du grain tomba le long du chemin ; il fut foulé aux pieds, et les oiseaux du ciel le mangèrent.

Aujourd'hui, si vous entendez sa voix, N'endurcissez pas vos coeurs,

règle de st Benoît

" Le semeur sortit pour semer sa semence ; et, pendant qu'il semait, du grain tomba le long du chemin ; il fut foulé aux pieds, et les oiseaux du ciel le mangèrent.

Il dépend de nous d' être cette bonne terre, dans laquelle "le grain a donné du fruit, l' un cent, l' autre soixante, l' autre trente" (Saint Matthieu 13, 8).

Comme la responsabilité du croyant est grande!

 Combien nombreuses sont les opportunités offertes à ceux qui accueillent et gardent ce Mystère!

BIENHEUREUX CELUI QUI S' OUVRE COMPLETEMENT AU CHRIST,

GRAINE QUI FECONDE LA VIE!".

Bx  Jean-Paul II.

Ave, Regína cœlórum

Ave, Dómina angelórum,

Salve, radix, salve, porta

Ex qua mundo lux est orta.

Gaude, Virgo gloriósa,

Super omnes speciósa ;

Vale, o valde decóra

Et pro nobis Christum exóra.

Dans la vie surnaturelle, nous sommes toujours petits enfants, et lorsque nous manquons à cette loi essentielle, il y a un détriment apporté à notre âme et à Dieu. La vraie loi de notre vie surnaturelle c'est l'enfance .

Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.

Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.

Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea, et a peccato meo munda me.

Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco ;

Ayez pitié de moi, mon Dieu, selon la grandeur de votre miséricorde,

Et selon la multitude de vos bontés, effacez mes iniquités.

Lavez-moi de plus en plus de mes iniquités et nettoyez-moi de mes péchés.

"notre âme profondément blessée et meurtrie..."

When Paul de Guibert, a young Frenchman, arrived three years ago at Chavagnes International College, aged 12, he did not quite know what to expect. Chavagnes is unique. It is France’s only English Catholic school and it is now in its 10th year.

Paul, still only 15, has just been offered a place to read Mathematics at Churchill College, Cambridge. But there is more to Paul’s success than meets the eye. Chavagnes’ headmaster Ferdi McDermott, has been building up a formidable educational tradition from scratch over the last 10 years in an impressive 19th-century former seminary near Nantes.

Mr McDermott said: “What I have sought to create here is a community of Masters and pupils who live, work and pray together in a purposeful atmosphere. We have had British pupils go on to Oxford in the past, but Paul is our first Cambridge success and our first Frenchman to achieve such a distinction. I think he sees in it a continuation of the same community-based but individualised learning experience he has been enjoying here.”

In no sense, though, is young Paul a typical “swot”. He said: “I have been given responsibilities at Chavagnes as vice house captain and assistant scout patrol leader.

“I have also served Mass, been active in various clubs and played a decent amount of sport, including competitive rugby. There have also been debates, and plays in English, such as Macbeth, Arsenic and Old Lace and Much Ado About Nothing, in which I played Claudio. The College has also allowed me to pursue advanced study of Latin and Greek, Spanish, German, French and English as well as my favourite, Mathematics and Sciences. I love it here.”

Paul’s success is symptomatic of what can happen when a boy “gets stuck in” in a way just not possible in the French system. A recent rise in admissions from French families seeking “a typically British education” has transformed Chavagnes into a rich cultural mix, where English pupils pick up French almost as quickly as the French pick up English, according to Mr McDermott.

Why do English pupils come to Chavagnes? Mr McDermott said: “Fees are about half the price of the UK average for private education. We also attract families seeking the more intense sacramental life, and the smaller class sizes.”

“It’s a great life out here, and I thank God for looking after us. But we have to keep asking the English boys to bring us back marmite and proper teabags after each holiday. French gastronomy is all very well, but there are some essentials you just can’t get south of Dover.”
