Il n'est pas de peche que Dieu ne pardonne si le pecheur est reellement repenti car seul le Tres Bon peut pardonner ce que l'homme ne pardonne pas. Allez. La paix soit avec vous. C'est la premiere annee que je ne les vois pas allumees dans ma maison, ou que je ne les allume pas... Tu es un grand enfant   Nous les allumerons nous aussi les lampes. Ainsi tu ne feras plus grise mine et c'est toi qui les allumeras. Moi? Pas moi, Seigneur. Tu es notre Chef de famille. C'est a Toi de le faire. Moi, je suis toujours une lampe allumee, Pierre. Sais-tu que Je suis ne justement le 25 du mois de Casleu? Eh  qui sait combien de lumieres? On ne pouvait les compter ...C'etaient toutes les etoiles du ciel... Non   On ne T'a pas fait fete a Nazareth? Je ne suis pas ne a Nazareth, mais au milieu des ruines, a Bethleem. Je vois que Jean a su se taire. Il est tres obeissant, Jean. Vas-Tu le raconter a Ton pauvre Simon. Autrement, comment faire pour parler de Toi? ... Les autres savent faire. Je veux dire Tes freres et Simon, Barthelemy et Jude de Simon. Et... oui, Thomas et Matthieu aussi ... Pauvre Simon de Jonas   Mais les poissons que T'ont-ils enseigne? Et le lac? Deux choses: les poissons a me taire et a etre constant, Le lac, a etre courageux et a avoir l'oeil a tout. Et la barque? A trimer sans epargner mes muscles, a rester debout meme si l'eau est agitee et si on risque de tomber. L'oeil a la polaire, les mains fermes a la barre, force, courage, constance, attention, voila ce que m'a enseigne ma pauvre vie... Et ca te parait peu, Simon Pierre ? Tu as tout ce qu'il faut pour etre Ma pierre. Il n'y a rien a ajouter, rien a enlever. Tu seras le pilote eternel, Simon. Et a celui qui viendra apres toi, tu diras: L'oeil a la polaire: Jesus. La main ferme a la barre, force, courage, constance, attention, trimer sans relache, avoir l'oeil a tout, et savoir rester debout meme sur les eaux agitees... Pour ce qui est du silence... allons... les poissons ne te l'ont pas enseigne  Mais pour ce que je devrais savoir dire, je suis plus muet que les poissons. Meme les poules savent caqueter comme je fais... Mais, dis-moi, mon Maitre. Me donnes-Tu un fils, a moi aussi? Nous sommes ages... mais Tu as dit que le Baptiste est ne d'une femme agee... Maintenant Tu as dit: Et a qui viendra apres toi, tu diras... Qui vient apres un homme, s'il n'a pas un fils? Non, Pierre. Ne t'en afflige pas. Tu ressembles tout a fait a ton lac quand un nuage cache le soleil. Tout riant, il devient sombre. Non, mon Pierre. Mais ce n'est pas un fils, mais des milliers et des dizaines de milliers que tu auras, et dans toutes les nations... Ne te rappelles-tu pas du jour ou Je t'ai dit: Tu seras pecheur d'hommes? Oh ... oui... mais... C'aurait ete si doux un enfant qui m'eut dit pere  Tu en auras tant que tu ne pourras plus les compter et auxquels tu donneras la vie eternelle. Tu les retrouveras au Ciel et tu Me les ameneras en disant: Ce sont les enfants de Ton Pierre et je veux qu'ils soient ou je suis, et Moi je te dirai: Oui, Pierre. Que ce soit comme tu veux, car tu as tout fait pour Moi, et Moi, je fais tout pour toi. Oh  Seigneur  dit-il. Mais pour donner la vie eternelle, il faut persuader aux ames d'aller vers le bien. Et... nous en sommes toujours au meme point: je ne sais pas parler. Tu sauras parler, quand l'heure viendra, et mieux que Gamaliel.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51125148352785,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51125148942609,"sku":"NIN9781910621509","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1910621501.jpg?v=1750964509"},{"product_id":"por-el-amor-que-persevera-book-lamb-books-9781910201909","title":"Por el Amor que Persevera","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51209649488145,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51209651650833,"sku":"NIN9781910201909","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1910201901.jpg?v=1751124636"},{"product_id":"satana-il-male-book-lamb-books-9781704773230","title":"Satana \u0026 Il Male","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51220803551505,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51220805452049,"sku":"NIN9781704773230","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1704773237.jpg?v=1751184155"},{"product_id":"do-you-love-the-nazarene-book-lamb-books-9781910621141","title":"Do You Love the Nazarene?","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51258601341201,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51258603274513,"sku":"NIN9781910621141","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1910621145.jpg?v=1751347259"},{"product_id":"where-there-are-thorns-there-also-will-be-roses-book-lamb-books-9781910201541","title":"Where there are Thorns, there also will be Roses","description":"'Why are you crying, woman? ' The little old woman turns round and she sees the young, tall, stately man, in a beautiful new white tunic and a matching snow-white mantle. She mistakes Him for a doctor because of His garments and His aspect and her surprise is the greater because doctors and priests neither pay attention to the poor nor do they protect them from the stinginess of merchants. She explains to Jesus the reason for their tears. 'Change this lamb for these believers. It is not worthy of the altar, neither is it fair that you should take advantage of two poor old people, only because they are weak and unprotected. 'says Jesus to the lamb vendor. 'And who are You? ' 'A just man. ' 'By Your way of speaking and Your companions', I know You are a Galilean. Can there be a just man in Galilee? ' 'Do what I told you, and be a just man yourself. ' 'Listen  Listen to the Galilean Who is defending His equals  And He wants to teach us of the Temple  ' The man laughs and jeers, imitating the Galilean accent, which is more musical and softer than the Judaean. Many people draw nearer to them and other merchants and moneychangers take the side of their fellow merchant against Jesus. Amongst the people present there are two or three ironical rabbis. One of them asks: 'Are You a doctor?

Vielleicht hat Chuza recht . . . und ich unrecht . . . Hat Chuza dir Vorwurfe gemacht? Ja und nein, Herr. Er hat mir gesagt, mit seiner ganzen Macht als Gemahl, dass ich dich nach den letzten Vorkommnissen meiden muss, weil er als Hofling des Herodes nicht gestatten kann, dass seine Frau sich gegen Herodes verschwort. Und seit wann sollst du eine Verschworerin sein? Wer denkt denn daran, Herodes zu schaden? Sein armer, schmutziger Thron ist weniger wert als dieser Sitz im Rosengarten. Hier setze ich mich hin, dort wurde ich mich nie hinsetzen. Chuza moge dessen versichert sein  Der Thron des Herodes lockt mich nicht, nicht einmal der des Casar.

Meister, der Mann von Kerijot versteht dich nicht, und er versteht auch die nicht, die dich als grossen Philosophen, als grossen Weisen, als die Tugend selbst auf Erden verehren und bewundern und bereit sind, dich zu schutzen. Es ist seltsam, dass Heidinnen verstehen, was einer deiner Apostel nicht versteht, obwohl er schon so lange bei dir ist . . . Der Mensch in ihm, seine menschliche Liebe verblendet ihn. Du entschuldigst ihn . . . Aber er schadet dir, Meister. Wahrend Simon mit Plautina, Lydia und Valeria gesprochen hat, hat Judas mit Claudia gesprochen, und zwar in deinem Namen, als dein Ab- gesandter. Er wollte ihr Versprechen abgewinnen fur eine Wiedererrichtung des Reiches Israel. Claudia hat ihn grundlich ausgefragt . . . und er hat viel geredet. Er ist uberzeugt, auf der Schwelle seines tollen Traumes zu stehen, dort, wo der Traum Wirklichkeit wird. Meister, Claudia ist sehr erzurnt daruber. Sie ist eine Tochter Roms . . . Sie hat etwas vom Kaiserreich in ihrem Blut . . . Wie sollte gerade sie, eine Tochter der Claudier, sich je gegen Rom stellen?

It is strange that heathen ladies should understand what one of Your apostles does not understand, after being such a long time with You... His human nature, his human love, blind him. You excuse him... But he is injuring You, Master. Whilst Simon was speaking to Plautina, Lydia and Valeria, Judas spoke to Claudia on Your behalf, as Your ambassador. He wanted to wring from her, promises for the restoration of the kingdom of Israel. Claudia asked him many questions... And he told her a good lot.

Vielleicht hat Chuza recht . . . und ich unrecht . . . Hat Chuza dir Vorwurfe gemacht? Ja und nein, Herr. Er hat mir gesagt, mit seiner ganzen Macht als Gemahl, dass ich dich nach den letzten Vorkommnissen meiden muss, weil er als Hofling des Herodes nicht gestatten kann, dass seine Frau sich gegen Herodes verschwort. Und seit wann sollst du eine Verschworerin sein? Wer denkt denn daran, Herodes zu schaden? Sein armer, schmutziger Thron ist weniger wert als dieser Sitz im Rosengarten. Hier setze ich mich hin, dort wurde ich mich nie hinsetzen. Chuza moge dessen versichert sein  Der Thron des Herodes lockt mich nicht, nicht einmal der des Casar.

Meister, der Mann von Kerijot versteht dich nicht, und er versteht auch die nicht, die dich als grossen Philosophen, als grossen Weisen, als die Tugend selbst auf Erden verehren und bewundern und bereit sind, dich zu schutzen.

Er tr gt einen ein vielfarbiges Gewand, einen goldenen G rtel, mit silberne Gl cklein, die wie Lerchenstimmen klingen, singend und streut Salz aus, das auf der dunklen Stra e glitzert. Neunundneunzig Schafe schauen ihn an und bleiben, wo sie sind. Das Hundertste, das J ngste, das Lieblingsschaf, macht einen Sprung und verschwindet hinter dem Verf hrer. Der Hirte ruft nach ihm, aber es kehrt nicht zur ck. Es l uft rascher als der Wind, um den Vor bergegangenen einzuholen; um sich beim Laufen zu st rken, kostet es von dem Salz, und versp rt darauf ein Brennen und ein fremdartiges Gef hl, das es verf hrt, nach dem tiefen Wasser des Waldes zu lechzen.

The shepherd used to look at it with so much love, thinking how much good he could do for it and how much love he could receive from it. And it strayed. A tempter passed on the road that runs along the pasture; with a many-coloured robe and a golden belt with little bells hanging from it, as sweet-sounding as the song of a nightingale, and phials of inebriating scents, and in his hands a thurible sparkling with gems, with smoke rising from it that is stench and scent at the same time, as bewildering as the sparkling of the fake jewels is dazzling. He passes by singing and drops handfuls of salt that shine on the dark road... Ninety-nine sheep look and stay where they are. The hundredth, the youngest and dearest one, makes a leap and disappears behind the tempter. The shepherd calls it but it runs faster than the wind to join the tempter and to sustain itself whilst it runs, it tastes some of the salt that causes a strange burning frenzy that makes the poor sheep crave for the cool water of the deep green shades of the forest. And following the tempter it goes into the forest and climbs and descends and falls... once, twice, three times and each time it feels round its neck the slimy embrace of reptiles, being thirsty it drinks foul water and when it is hungry it eats herbs that shine with revolting slobber. The good shepherd leaves the ninety-nine faithful ones in a safe place and sets out and does not stop until he finds traces of the lost sheep. He calls it in a loud voice begging the wind to carry his call to it and sees it from afar, intoxicated in the coils of reptiles, so intoxicated that it does not feel nostalgia for the man who loves it, but mocks him, aware that it is guilty of entering, like a thief, the abode of other people, so guilty that it dares not look at him... And yet the good shepherd goes on looking for it, following its traces and weeping when he loses them: strips of fleece; traces of its soul; traces of blood; various crimes; filth; proofs of its lust; but he goes on and reaches it. Ah  I found you, my beloved. I reached you at last  How far have I walked for you, to take you back to the fold. Do not bend your dejected head. Your sin is buried in my heart. Nobody will know about it, except me, and I love you. I will defend you from the criticism of other people, shield you with my body to protect you against the stones of accusers. Come. Are you wounded? Oh  Let me see your wounds. I know them. But I want you to show them to me with the confidence you had when you were pure and you looked at me, your shepherd and your God, with innocent eyes. There they are. How deep they are  Who inflicted these very deep ones in the depth of your heart? It was the Tempter, I know, he who has neither staff nor hatchet, but strikes more deeply with his poisonous bite...and his false jewels that seduced you by sparkling, and they were hellish sulphur brought to daylight to burn your heart  Look how many wounds  How much torn fleece, how much blood, how much bramble  O my poor little disappointed soul  But tell me: if I forgive you, will you still love me? Tell me: if I stretch out my arms to you, will you come to them? Come. Your tears and mine will wash the traces of your sin and in order to nourish you, because you are worn out by the evil that has burnt you, I open my chest and my veins and I say to you: Feed on them, and live  Come here that I may take you in my arms. You will forget everything of this miserable hour....","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53035661918481,"sku":"NIN9781910621523","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781910621523.jpg?v=1768748892"},{"product_id":"that-beautiful-blonde-book-lamb-books-9781910621011","title":"That Beautiful Blonde","description":"'Say, Simon ' asks Judas Iscariot. 'Since you are a Judaean like me, tell me. That beautiful blonde in the Roman's lap, the one who stood up a few minutes ago, isn't she the sister of Lazarus of Bethany?'

' 'You are not going to tell me that you do not know Lazarus of Bethany, I hope  I know very well that you are his friend and that you have been there also with the Master.' 'And if it were so?' 'And since it is so, I say that you must know also the sinner who is Lazarus' sister. Even the dead know her  People have been talking about her for the last ten years. She began to be light-headed as soon as she reached puberty. But for over four years  You must be aware of the scandal, even if you were in the valley of the dead. The whole of Jerusalem talked about her. And Lazarus shut himself up at Bethany... He did the right thing, after all. No one would have set foot in his magnificent house in Zion, where she also came and went. I mean: no holy living person. In the country... well ... In any case she is always around, but never at home... She is certainly at Magdala now... With a new lover... Are you not answering me? Can you give me the lie?' 'I am not giving you the lie. I am silent.' 'So it is she  You have recognized her, too  ' 'I saw her when she was a child and she was pure then. I have seen her again now... But I recognize her. Although lewd, she is the living image of her mother, a holy woman.' 'Well, then, why were you on the point of denying that she is your friend's sister?' 'We always endeavour to conceal our sores and those of the people we love. Particularly when one is honest.' Judas gives a forced laugh. 'You are quite right, Simon. And you are honest' remarks Peter. 'And did you recognize her? You certainly go to Magdala to sell your fish and I wonder how many times you have seen her ... ' 'My boy, you must know that when your back is broken after an honest day's work, you are not interested in women. You only love the honest bed of your wife.' 'Eh  Everybody likes beautiful things  At least, if for no other reason than to look at them.' 'Why? To say: It is no food for my table? No, certainly not. I have learned many things from the lake and from my job and this is one of them: a fish of fresh and calm water is not fit for salt water or a vorticose water course.' 'What do you mean? ' 'I mean that everybody should keep his place to avoid dying an evil death.' 'Did the Magdalene make you feel as if you were dying?' 'No, I am tough. But tell me: are you not feeling well, perhaps?' 'Me? Oh  I didn't even look at her ...' 'You liar  I am sure that you were consumed with envy because you were not on this boat, to be closer to her... you would have put up even with me to be nearer... So much so, that you honour me with your conversation because of her, after so many days of silence.' 'Me? She would not have even seen me  She was always looking at the Master ' 'Ah  Ah  Ah  And he says that he was not looking at her  How could you see where she was looking if you did not look at her?'","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53037038928145,"sku":"NIN9781910621011","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781910621011.jpg?v=1782871534"},{"product_id":"flowers-of-bounty-book-lamb-books-9781718676015","title":"Flowers Of Bounty","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53042062393617,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53042062557457,"sku":"NIN9781718676015","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781718676015.jpg?v=1768873645"},{"product_id":"blue-angel-book-lamb-books-9781910201039","title":"The Blue Angel","description":"'Go in.' 'I wouldn't dare ''You go in.''No.''At least have a look.' 'Levi, you saw the angel first. Look in.' 'What can you see?' 'A beautiful young woman and a man bending over a manger and ...I can hear a little baby crying and the woman is speaking to him...'What is she saying?' 'She is saying Jesus, little one  Jesus, love of your mummy  Don't cry, little son...Oh  If I could only say to You 'take some milk, little one'. But I have not got any yet...You are so cold, My love  And the hay is stinging You  How painful it is for Your mummy to hear You crying so, without being able to help You ... Sleep, soul of Mine  Because it breaks my heart to hear you crying and see Your tears ...''Call Her  Let them hear you.''You should call Her because you brought us here ' Joseph turns round and comes to the door. 'Who are you?' 'Shepherds.... We brought you some food and some wool. We have come to worship the Saviour.''Come in.' They all go in, lighting the stable with their torches.'Come. Come.' says Mary, smiling and inviting them with Her hand. They look at the Baby Who is weeping a little and they smile, moved and happy. 'Mother, take this wool, it is soft and clean. I prepared it for my child who is about to be born. But I offer it to You. Lay Your Son in this wool. It will be soft and warm.'Mary accepts the thick beautiful soft white sheep wool, lifts Jesus and puts the wool around Him. Then She shows Him to the Shepherds who, kneeling, look at him ecstatically 'He should be given a mouthful of milk...''There is some milk here. Take it Woman.''But it is cold. It should be warm. Where is Elias? He has the sheep.' The sheep bleats, declaring its presence.'Come in. You're wanted.' 'It's you ' Joseph recognises the shepherd who gave them milk on the way. Mary smiles at him saying 'You are good.' They milk the sheep, deep the hem of a linen piece in the warm creamy milk and Mary moistens the lips of the Baby Who sucks the sweet cream, making them all smile. And they smile even more when Jesus falls asleep in the warm wool, with a little bit of linen still between His lips. 'But you can't stay here. It's cold and damp. And....there's too strong a smell of animals. It's not good...it's not good for the Saviour.''I know. But there is no room for us in Bethlehem.''Take heart woman. We will find You a house.''I will tell my mistress', says Elias ' She's good. She'll receive You even if she had to give You her own room...' 'For My Child at least. Joseph and I can also lie on the floor. But for the little One....''Don't worry woman. We will see to it. And we will tell many people what we were told. You will lack nothing. For the time being, take what we poor shepherds can offer You....''We are poor too...and we cannot reward you.' 'Oh  We don't want it  Even if you could afford it, we would not want it. The Lord has already rewarded us... And You are blessed, Woman, Who gave birth to Him: You are holy, because You deserved to bear Him. Give us orders as our queen because we will be glad to serve You. What can we do for You?' 'You can love My Son and always cherish the same thoughts you have now.' 'Will you tell your baby about us?''I certainly will.' 'I am Elias.''And I am Levi.''And I am Samuel.''And I Jonah.' 'And I Isaac.''And I Tobias.''And I Jonathan.''And I Daniel.''And I Simeon.' 'My name is John.''I am Joseph and my brother Benjamin.
