    Contributed by James Dina on Mar 31, 2021
     | 1,136 views

    Regardez et priez, afin que vous ne tombiez pas dans la tentation. Regarder excite la prière, car chaque ennemi que nous voyons nous fera prier plus sérieusement. De plus, regarder, c’est prier. S’il y a une vraie observation, le regard lui-même est la prière.

    Regardez et priez « Puis Il est venu aux disciples et les a trouvés endormis, et dit à Pierre: « Quoi! Tu ne pourrais pas regarder avec moi une heure ? Regardez et priez, de peur d’entrer dans la tentation. L’esprit est en effet disposé, mais la chair est ...read more

The definition for the word “judge” that applies to our passage means, “to form a judgment or opinion” and to “decide upon critically.”(1) The key word here is “critically,” for when we judge others we are often being “critical” ...read more
