amis pour dire sa confiance en la lumière.

Cette conversation est suivie de quelques réflexions spirituelles que Benoît Lacroix a publiées dans diverses revues au fil de sa vie.

'' Dans une société où même le temps du loisir doit être comblé par des activités , nous courons, nous…
courons... jusqu'à ce qu'advienne la grande fatigue. Lorsque nous nous heurtons à la frustration et à l'impuissance, quand le chemin que nous avons pris ne nous a finalement menés nulle part, nous nous sentons vidés, dépossédés de tout désir. Anselm Grün nous montre comment faire face à ces moments d'angoisse voire d'effondrement, qui peuvent dès lors être saisis comme autant d'occasions de revenir vers nous-mêmes. En effet, ces grandes fatigues ont la capacité insoupçonnée de nous mener vers l'essentiel de notre vie : le rythme de notre propre âme et de notre corps afin de retrouver notre source intérieure.
