Blaise Pascal, Pensées (éd. A. Cantillon)
Comment lire aujourd’hui les papiers laissés par Pascal à sa mort ? Cette nouvelle édition des Pensées, due à Alain Cantillon, repose sur trois principes essentiels, qui la démarquent des précédentes.

Review of Benjamin and Jenna Storey’s “Why We Are Restless”
Reviewed by Allen Mendenhall This review originally appeared here in the Journal of Faith & The Academy. Almost 2500 years ago, Aristotle posited that what distinguishes humans from the animals is not only our judgment and rationality, but also our unique capacity for love, affection, and bonding. The coronavirus pandemic is frustrating because, among other things, it forces us to suppress and neglect the very qualities that set humans apart from the rest of creation.
What Will We Become?
The greatness and the wretchedness of man are so evident that the true religion must necessarily teach us both that there is in man some great source of greatness and a great source of wretchedness. It must then give us a reason for these astonishing contradictions. Incredible that God should unite Himself to us. This consideration is drawn only from the sight of our vileness.

Quotes on Divine Justice
From AZ Quotes, goodreads.com, quotemaster.org, www.christianquotes.info Human justice is very prolix, and yet at times quite mediocre; divine justice is more concise and needs no information from the prosecution, no legal papers, no interrogation of witnesses, but makes the guilty one his own informer and helps him with eternity’s memory.

One must remain vigilant, resilient.
