Jamais homme n'a rencontré autant de contemporains. L'extraordinaire longévité du pontificat de Jean Paul II lui a permis de multiplier dans d'incroyables proportions les occasions de rencontres, de voyages, d'assemblées. Mais c'est le charisme surprenant du premier pape slave de l'histoire qui a fait de ce quart de siècle une course de géant.Inconnu du grand public lors de son élection, Jean Paul II est vite devenu l'icône universelle d'une Église visible. Pape de plein vent, il avait la grande faculté d'une présence réelle à chacune de ses rencontres, avec les grands ou au milieu des foules, avec les pauvres du continent noir comme avec les jeunes d'une Europe inquiète. De cette vedette planétaire, reste l'image du pape au regard vif, au visage bon et à l'allure décidée. Sans oublier la présence émouvante du vieux pontife fragile, prisonnier de la maladie et toujours libre d'aimer, jusqu'aux derniers instants de son existence terrestre.Ce destin hors du commun s'est forgé au creuset des périodes les plus noires du XXe siècle. L'enfant polonais, témoin concret de deux totalitarismes - le nazisme et le communisme -, n'a pas cédé aux sirènes de l'abattement. Plus encore : fort de son expérience polonaise, l'athlète de Dieu fut véritablement le pape de tous, pasteur universel, premier prophète du troisième millénaire.Pape d'exception, Jean Paul II a rempli jusqu'au bout sa mission, convaincu que le monde d'aujourd'hui attend encore le Christ. Disciple au long cours, évêque du monde, Jean Paul II dit à tout homme : «N'aie pas peur !»

Enter a timeless world, a forbidden city, an ideal society. For a year, we will follow the Benedictines of Fontgombault Abbey in France, from the farm to the refectory, from art workshops to the classrooms, from the infirmary to the hotel, from the printing press to the library, from the church to the cloister, from the sacristy to the scriptorium. This book is an invitation to joy, an invitation to discover the little-known daily lives of monks to help us understand the peace that dwells within them. Their confined existence, which one might imagine to be monotonous, is in reality extraordinarily rich. Transported to Fontgombault by the evocative and delicate writings of author Nicolas Diat, we will no longer be quite the same when we close this book, and exit the doors of the abbey.

Called the Pilgrim Pope, a pope of the people, John Paul II connected with his flock from the highest to the lowest. He was one of history's most beloved popes among Catholics and non-Catholics alike, a man whose indomitable spirit touched and taught us all. A Year with John Paul II showcases his most important teachings as well as his inspirational writings, in a daily devotional format that will inspire readers and deepen their reflections and meditations. With a foreword by Cardinal William W. Baum, head of the Holy See's Major Penitentiary and former archbishop of Washington DC, an introduction by Bishop William Murphy, and a moving eulogy composed for the pope's funeral by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI), A Year with John Paul II will take readers on a year-long spiritual journey with this deeply religious and inspiring man. Karol Wojyla was born on May 18, 1920, in Wadowice, Poland. He survived the Nazi occupation during World War II and was ordained to the priesthood in 1946. He was appointed archbishop of Krakow by Pope Paul VI. On October 16, 1978, he ascended to the papacy, taking the name John Paul II. During his papacy he greeted an estimated sixteen million pilgrims at the Vatican's general audiences. Pope John Paul II died in April 2005.

La relation d'amour de Dieu avec son peuple, ainsi que la décrivaient les prophètes de l'Ancien Testament, nommément Osée et Ezéchiel, est illustrée par les métaphores des fiançailles et du mariage L'histoire d'une telle union consiste dans le fait que Dieu ouvre en réalité les yeux à Israël, son peuple, sur la vraie nature de l'homme qui, en vivant dans la fidélité au Dieu unique, fait lui-même l'expérience d'être celui qui est aimé de Dieu. Les évangiles, en particulier Matthieu et Luc, pour leur part, nous présentent Jésus comme l'époux de l'union nuptiale. Cette union, dit J. Gauthier, est capable de nous transformer profondément, comme dans une vie de couple, mais toujours pour le meilleur.
