Fra Angelico le prêche par sa peinture : au matin de Pâques, de saintes femmes, venues avec des aromates, s’étonnent devant le tombeau vide. La tristesse se lit sur leur visage — elles semblent chercher au fond d’elles-mêmes le sens de ce qui arrive. Sans doute les Écritures les éclairent-elles déjà, car tout respire tendresse et paix. L’une d’elles, probablement Marie Madeleine, a la main au-dessus de ses yeux : serait-ce la lumière du Christ ressuscité, si forte, qui l’éblouit ? C’est l’aurore de la foi : ces femmes vont croire. L’ange les enseigne, leur annonce la résurrection du Maître tant aimé. En sept courts chapitres pleins d’élan, des premiers pas de la foi à son accomplissement, en passant par les éblouissements, mais aussi les difficultés et les combats, le frère Paul-Dominique Marcovits nous rappelle les dimensions de l’acte de croire, sans oublier que c’est en Église que nous sommes invités à croire et que Marie, mère de Jésus, est la première dans ce pèlerinage de la foi qui est le nôtre, celui de l’Église en marche.<BR><BR>--<BR><BR>Fra Angelico preaches it in his painting: on Easter morning, holy women who came with sweet-smelling oils, were astonished to find the tomb empty. Their sadness is clearly expressed on their faces— they seem to be searching the meaning of what has happened deep in their own minds. Most likely, the Scriptures have already enlightened them, because here, all is tenderness and peace. One of them, probably Mary Magdalene, is shading her eyes with her hand: is it because the light of the risen Christ, so bright, is blinding her? It is the glow of faith: these women are to become believers. The angel teaches them, announcing the resurrection of the Master they loved so deeply. In seven short, dynamic chapters, from the first steps in faith to it achievement, taking in the moments of blinding light as well as those of difficulty and combat, Brother Paul-Dominique Marcovits reminds us of the dimensions of that act of believing, not forgetting that it is the Church that invites us to believe that Mary, mother of Jesus, was the first woman in the pilgrimage of faith that is ours, and that of the Church in movement.
