Gospel according to Matthew

Saint Marcian, a Syrian hermit of the 4th century: asceticism, prayer, struggle against Arianism and a call for simplicity and charity.

Rejoicing in the Eternal Promise — How to welcome the joy of the Beatitudes amidst our human weariness and transform our burdens into living confidence. A meditative and practical text that explains the Gospel context, analyzes the paradoxical joy of the Beatitudes, proposes three paths of transformation (poverty of heart, mercy, peace), concrete applications (family, work, society), patristic and contemporary resonances, a meditation prompt, a liturgical prayer, and an action plan for experiencing the promised joy today.

Simon the Zealot, apostle converted from combat to universal love: from political resistance to the evangelical mission, witness of charity and martyrdom.

Choosing Twelve to Transform the World: How Jesus' Night of Prayer Illuminates Discernment, Diverse Team Building, and Practical Mission

Emeline d'Yèvres, a 12th-century Cistercian hermit in Champagne, embodies the contemplative life and humble prophecy: radical penance, silent listening, and gifts of discernment placed at the service of the humble. Documented life and local memory meet in the account of her life at the barn of Perthes Sèches (Yèvres-le-Petit), her recognized prophecies—notably by Baron Symon de Beaufort—and her iconographic disappearance. Her example today questions our ability to discern divine signs in everyday life and to live an authentic asceticism, without pomp or the quest for recognition.
