00:00The lecture of this day,
00:12Frères and Sœurs, Maître Paul,
00:14by his first epitre corinthian,
00:16chapter 9,
00:17tells us that someone who works
00:19must receive a just retribution
00:21afin qu'il puisse le faire
00:22with hope.
00:24This enseignement,
00:26can be analyzed
00:27according to two levels of lecture,
00:28as Maître Paul
00:29l'indique lui-même.
00:30In fact,
00:31in the sense of the most simple,
00:33an ouvrier
00:34can do correctly
00:35his work
00:36that if he is just retributed
00:37for his efforts.
00:38In which case,
00:40he will be motivated,
00:41his work,
00:42his work,
00:43and his work,
00:44his work.
00:45In the sense of the most spiritual,
00:47he who evangélise
00:49can also be able to see
00:51the harvest of his semaille.
00:52He will also be motivated
00:54as for the previous case,
00:55but beyond that,
00:56there is naturally
00:57another question,
00:58the good distribution
00:59of resources
01:00which,
01:01here,
01:02symbolizes simply
01:03the efforts.
01:05Do we continue
01:06to the same way
01:07the task
01:08which we are given
01:09in absence total
01:10of results?
01:11Or do we
01:12do we put in question
01:13our methods
01:14or even our audience?
01:16Is it not a bitty
01:18that to be expected
01:19to be expected
01:20to be repeated
01:21in a couple
01:22and which,
01:23previously,
01:24has given no results
01:25as
01:26as
01:27as
01:28a
01:55as
01:56as
01:57as
01:58a
02:25as
02:27as
02:28the first
02:29reason is
02:30that those who need
02:31to be saved
02:32are not always
02:33very safe.
02:34The mission
02:35of the Apotre
02:36is dedicated,
02:37which allows
02:38to envision
02:39as
02:40as
02:41as
02:42as
02:43as

02:59as
03:00as
03:02without also bringing his pier to the building.
03:05Like always, the good sense is more than the law that the law itself,
03:09due to its sense of adaptation and its understanding more fine of context.
03:14The good sense lives when the letter dies.
03:19The third reason is that the real recompense is spiritual.
03:23It's the satisfaction of the work well or simply of having to contribute to the general.
03:28Even extremely basic, she is satisfied and generated hope.
03:33So, we don't need to do it.
03:35The last reason that I'm going to cite today is more of an eschatology,
03:39because it refers to the notion of service.
03:41The servitor is always the most small in society,
03:45even if it is the most indispensable.
03:48A society without servitor is mort.
03:51When a society where each one is in service of the other,
03:54according to his talents,
03:56can be qualified as an utopia.
03:59Like we said our Lord Jesus Christ,
04:01the most little of you is for me the most grand.
04:04That's why this Sunday, brothers and sisters,
04:06I would like to reflect a little deeper than usual
04:08on the principles profonds
04:10which animate the different concepts
04:11that we have discussed today.
04:13Because, really, the devil is hiding among the details.
04:17Well, to understand these notions, their effects and corrélations
04:20is the guarantee of an entente apaisant,
04:22an esprit pleinement ouvert,
04:24tout autant que fonctionnel,
04:26and so,
04:27d'une meilleure vie en société,
04:28voire, encore mieux,
04:29d'une plus grande proximité à Dieu.
04:32Amen.
04:33Amen.
