L’orgue, instrument propre à la mu- sique de l’église latine, les accompagne souvent, jouant un rôle essentiel dans la mise en œuvre de la liturgie. L’orgue est l’instrument « total ». Il peut se comparer à l’orchestre symphonique. Par son sou5e et la tenue indé6nie des sons, il se confond avec la voix humaine et l’ampli6e. Par la diversité, la qualité, la puis- sance et la douceur de ses voix (ses jeux), il peut commenter un texte, interpeller, calmer, réveiller ou endormir une assemblée. Dans l’église, l’orgue se place derrière l’assemblée, avec qui il fait cœur et sou5e. L’organiste reste invisible. Il ne joue pas pour qu’on l’admire. Son ac- complissement est d’amener l’assemblée à chanter, pour découvrir et déployer son humanité. La musique de l’église n’est pas un spectacle, un agrément ou un décor. La musique sacrée est la quintessence de la musique. Passant par l’oreille, elle dépasse l’émotion et la sensation, réalités individuelles et liées à la matière : elle réalise l’unité des individus qui composent une assemblée. Elle transcende le niveau du sentiment épidermique et de circonstance et permet à tous d’être « un seul cœur, un seul sou5e ».

  • Journal of Franciscan Culture Issued by the Franciscan Friars (OFM Malta) 110 Editorial EDITORIAL POWER and PRESTIGE in FRANCISCAN LIFE
    Journal of Franciscan Culture Issued by the Franciscan Friars (OFM Malta) 110 Editorial EDITORIAL POWER AND PRESTIGE IN FRANCISCAN LIFE It is obvious that this title sounds out of tune with the very nature of Franciscan life. Francis of Assisi built his religious Order upon minority and humility, which are directly opposite to power and prestige. A study of Franciscan history, beginning from the very first years after the death of the founder, shows a different picture. The Franciscan Order, born as a fraternity of penitents from Assisi (AP 19; L3C 37), soon became one of the bulwarks of Catholicism during the late Middle Ages. This fact, in itself, was not a negative factor, since the Franciscans were of great benefit to the Church in the areas of preaching, missionary expeditions, pastoral work, and studies. The history of the Franciscan Order has been marked by such heroic exploits that have made the Franciscan family among the foremost in fostering the spreading of the Christian faith in Europe and far beyond. A typical example of the ability of the Franciscans to spread the Christian message is their presence in the Holy Land. Quarterly journal of Ever since they set foot on the Holy Land in 1217, and particularly Franciscan culture published since April 1986. since the establishment of the Custody of the Holy Land in 1342, the Franciscans have been a guarantee for the continuation of the Layout: Catholic presence among other religions.

  • Le Temple Sainte-Marie Et L'architecture Des Visitandines. L'église Saint Paul-Saint Louis
    Jeudi 13 octobre 2016 à 14h00 Le temple Sainte-Marie et l’architecture des Visitandines. L’église Saint Paul-Saint Louis. L’Ordre de la Visitation Sainte-Marie fut fondé en 1610 à Annecy par Saint François de Sales. Les couvents étaient fondés exclusivement en ville. Les religieuses de cet ordre ont donc dû se constituer un domaine immobilier et foncier au cœur des villes. Laurent Lecomte, notre conférencier, a découvert dans ses recherches que les Visitandines ont pris part directement à l’édification de ces monastères, elles ont pu diriger elles-mêmes la construction de leurs bâtiments. Le temple Sainte-Marie est l’ancienne église du couvent de la Visitation Sainte-Marie installé à l’initiative de François de Sales et de Jeanne de Chantal qui en fut la première mère supérieure. Le plan de François Mansart s’inspire du Panthéon de Rome. Le couvent est édifié entre 1632 et 1634. Sa coupole est la toute première coupole en pierre de Paris et est considéré comme le première esquisse de dôme des Invalides. A l’exception de son église, le couvent est détruit dans les années qui suivent la Révolution et par arrêté du Premier Consul Bonaparte, cette église est affectée au culte réformé le 3 décembre 1802 et devient temple protestant, le temple de Marais. Nous continuerons notre après-midi par la visite de l’église Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis voisine, le plus bel exemple à Paris de l’architecture jésuite. Elle fut construite au 17ème siècle par les architectes jésuites Etienne Martellange et François Derand sur ordre de Louis XIII.

  • Évangéliques Et Homosexualité, Le Débat À Protestants
    Publié le 20 novembre 2017(Mise à jour le 20/11) Par Claire Bernole Évangéliques et homosexualité, le débat à Protestants en Fête À la veille de PEF 2017, le CNEF annonçait qu’il se retirait de la manifestation. Retour sur les causes et les répercussions de cette décision. Ce fut une mauvaise surprise pour tout le monde. Le Conseil national des évangéliques de France (CNEF) s’est retiré de Protestants en fête (PEF) 2017. À l’origine, la présence d’associations LGBT et un culte inclusif – terme tiré de l’anglais et signifiant que la célébration est pensée de façon à ne discriminer personne : homosexuels, handicapés, migrants… – organisé à la paroisse Saint- Guillaume de Strasbourg, prévu depuis longtemps au programme. Sachant cela, rester partie prenante de l’organisation de PEF aurait été « une forme de compromission », estime Étienne Lhermenault, président du CNEF. Rappelons que pour cette instance, s’il est tout à fait possible d’accueillir des personnes LGBT, leur mode de vie ne constitue pas « une alternative absolument indiscutable ». « Pastoralement, nous n’étions pas prêts à donner le signal aux jeunes évangéliques présents à la manifestation que tout se vaut. » Nuances évangéliques « Le CNEF a le droit d’avoir toute lecture biblique qu’il veut, comme chacun de nous, mais à partir de sa grille théologique, il considère qu’il peut exclure de la société certaines personnes », réplique Marina Zuccon, présidente du Carrefour des chrétiens inclusifs qui a tenu un stand au Village des fraternités. « Je me suis sentie accusée de faire du lobbying alors que notre activité se vit dans le cadre d’une commission de paroisse », pointe Joan Charras-Sancho, présidente de l’Antenne inclusive de la paroisse Saint-Guillaume.

  • Discovering Umbria Discovering Umbria Terni — Marmore Falls
    Discovering Umbria Discovering Umbria Terni — Marmore Falls Discovering Umbria Umbria is the perfect destination where to spend your holidays. Nature and parks, cities rich in art and culture, outdoor sports, along with internationally famous events and its food and wine will make your stay unforgettable. Umbria is a land of balance, able to assemble a thousand facets and a thousand different souls into a single fresco, a blend of man and nature, intense spirituality and secular pride. Every location has a unique identity, the result of millennia of civilisation that have left dense layers of memory and timeless masterpieces throughout the land: Umbrian, Etruscan, Sabine and Roman first and the extraordinary period of the Middle Ages, and then the Renaissance. The rural ingeniousness patiently chiselled the environment, reclaiming land, tilling and planting olive groves and vineyards that not only produce prized oils and wines but have become the symbol of the region. Dotted with medieval towns and silent hermitages, the Umbrian hills offer fascinating sceneries. In Umbria you need only travel a few kilometres to discover places of unspoilt wilderness, with centuries-old beech woods, deep caves, and mountains popolate by ancient legends. And Umbria is also rich in water: it rises in springs and mountain lakes, runs in rivers that carve impressive rocky gorges, and broadens out into wetlands and man-made lakes that are magically transformed into nature reserves. Lake Trasimeno, the gentle flowing of the Tiber, and the leaping falls of the Cascata delle Marmore all seem to have been created intentionally to inspire poets and painters.
