Le blog de Frédéric

Would you please take me away from this place?
I cannot bear to see the look upon your faces
And if there is some kind of God, do you think He's pleased
When He looks down on us I wonder what He sees

Do you think He'd think the things we do are a waste of time?
Maybe He'd think we are getting on just fine
Do you think He's skint or financially secure?
And come election time I wonder who He'd vote for

Ever since He can remember
People have died in His good name
Long before that September
Long before hijacking planes

He's lost the will, He can't decide
He doesn't know who's right or wrong
But there's one thing that He's sure of
This has been going on too long

Do you think He'd drive in his car without insurance?
Now is He interesting or do you think He'd bore us?
Do you think His favorite type of human is Caucasian?
Do you reckon He's ever been done for tax evasion?

Do you think He's any good at remembering people's names?
Do you think He's ever taken smack or cocaine?
I don't imagine He's ever been suicidal
His favorite band is Creedence Clearwater Revival

Ever since He can remember
People have died in His good name
Long before that September
Long before hijacking planes

He's lost the will, He can't decide
He doesn't know who's right or wrong
But there's one thing that He's sure of
This has been going on too long

Ever since He can remember
People have died in His good name
Long before that September
Long before hijacking planes

He's lost the will, He can't decide
He doesn't know who's right or wrong
But there's one thing that He's sure of
This has been going on too long





 Tout ça en musique ici!

«Le peuple qui marchait dans les ténèbres a vu se lever une grande lumière ; sur 

ceux qui 

habitaient le pays de l'ombre, une lumière a resplendi. 

Oui ! un enfant nous est né, un fils nous a été donné ; l'insigne du pouvoir est sur 

son épaule ; 

on proclame son nom : « Merveilleux-Conseiller, Dieu-Fort, Père-à-jamais, 

Prince-de-la- 

Paix ». 

 

Oui, l'Avent tout le monde connaît! L'entrée en Avent est d'ailleurs facilement repérable... les rues prennent les couleurs de Noël, Kinder fait recettes avec ses calendriers...
Quand on pense à l'Avent, on en a souvent une image un peu désuette, on pense aux pains d'épices, au vin chaud, à la couronne de l'Avent...
Est-ce là le plus important? La course effrénée aux cadeaux? 
Avent vient d'un mot latin adventus qui signifie la venue l'arrivée. Et si par-delà les préparatifs matériels de Noël, nous profitions de ces quatre semaines pour nous rendre compte qu'à Noël nous fêtons l'adventus, la venue de Jésus dans le monde?... 
C'est tellement fou et en même temps beau à croire... le Fils de Dieu lui-même vient dans le monde, vit comme nous! Il n'arrivera pas dans le faste et le luxe de la grande Athènes ou de la Rome impériale, non il naît à Bethléem, dans une étable minable, perdue on ne sait où dans les champs! 
Pensons y en faisant nos achats de Noël!
