MÉDITATION

La méditation, telle qu'elle apparaît pratiquée dans l'Église chrétienne, est l'effort par lequel nous portons notre attention et la maintenons sur une affirmation ou un fait tiré de l'Écriture (ou de quelque livre de piété). Tous les directeurs de conscience reconnaissent cet effort comme l'un des plus nécessaires. Il est évident qu'une lecture pieuse produit d'autant plus d'effet que nous y portons une attention plus active.

Dans l'A.T., les merveilles de la nature (Ps 8), les grands faits de l'histoire d'Israël (Ps 106), les paroles des prophètes et surtout les commandements de Dieu sont l'objet de la méditation du fidèle (Jos 1:8, Ps 1:2 19:14 119:8-20,92,105). En cela il ne fait d'ailleurs qu'utiliser les enseignements et les exemples qu'il a pu recueillir à la synagogue.

Jésus lui-même a médité les paroles des prophètes ; (voir Lu 4) des paroles empruntées aux Psaumes lui viennent spontanément sur les lèvres au moment de son agonie (Lu 23:46, Mt 27:46). Le récit des pèlerins d'Emmaüs (Lu 24:13,32) nous fournit un émouvant exemple de méditation chrétienne, les faits du N.T. éclairant les paroles de l'A.T.

Pour méditer avec fruit, il faut bien saisir le genre d'effort qui est le plus productif. Il s'agit d'aimer pour mieux comprendre et de comprendre pour mieux croire. La méditation religieuse doit être avant tout un effort de représentation, une évocation. Il faut se représenter dans les détails les faits qui nous sont seulement indiqués par quelques mots. Si, par exemple, vous méditez une guérison faite par Jésus, vous aurez à imaginer une scène dont l'Évangile ne vous fournit que quelques traits ; votre méditation devra vous rendre présent et actuel le fait qui sans elle serait resté abstrait, lointain, sans action sur votre coeur. Si votre méditation porte sur un épisode de la Passion du Christ, elle sera une représentation vive et aimante de la souffrance de votre Maître. Le coeur doit animer l'imagination. C'est lui qui agit, c'est lui aussi qui s'enrichit. En fait, votre méditation devient une véritable commémoration.

Avez-vous pris pour texte une parole de l'Écriture ? Il s'agit alors d'entendre celui qui vous parle, d'imaginer les sentiments, les certitudes qui remplissent son âme et inspirent sa parole. Car dans le domaine religieux l'autorité d'une vérité tient à celui qui la prononce. Méditer une parole du Christ doit avoir pour effet de nous replacer sous l'influence de notre Maître, de nous le rendre présent dans la parole que nous voulons entendre et recevoir de sa bouche. Il en est de même si nous méditons la parole d'un prophète, d'un apôtre, d'un éminent serviteur de Dieu ; à travers elle, nous percevons l'action de l'Esprit.

Une telle méditation met en mouvement le coeur et l'âme ; au lieu de disperser notre attention en réflexions de toutes sortes, elle nous dispose au recueillement, à la prière : on pourrait dire qu'elle est déjà une prière. --Voir Regard. Gab. B.

      Josué 1

      8 This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

      Psaumes 1

      2 but his delight is in Yahweh's law. On his law he meditates day and night.

      Psaumes 8

      1 <> Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who has set your glory above the heavens!
      2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
      3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
      4 what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?
      5 For you have made him a little lower than God, and crowned him with glory and honor.
      6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:
      7 All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,
      8 The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
      9 Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

      Psaumes 19

      14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.

      Psaumes 106

      1 Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
      2 Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, or fully declare all his praise?
      3 Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.
      4 Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,
      5 that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
      6 We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.
      7 Our fathers didn't understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn't remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea .
      8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power known.
      9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
      10 He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
      11 The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.
      12 Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
      13 They soon forgot his works. They didn't wait for his counsel,
      14 but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.
      15 He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
      16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh's saint.
      17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
      18 A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.
      19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.
      20 Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.
      21 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
      22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea .
      23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn't destroy them.
      24 Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn't believe his word,
      25 but murmured in their tents, and didn't listen to Yahweh's voice.
      26 Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
      27 that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
      28 They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
      29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.
      30 Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.
      31 That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.
      32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
      33 because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.
      34 They didn't destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them,
      35 but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.
      36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
      37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
      38 They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.
      39 Thus were they defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
      40 Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.
      41 He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.
      42 Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.
      43 Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
      44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.
      45 He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
      46 He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.
      47 Save us, Yahweh, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise!
      48 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, "Amen." Praise Yah!

      Psaumes 119

      8 I will observe your statutes. Don't utterly forsake me.
      92 Unless your law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
      105 Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.

      Matthieu 27

      46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

      Luc 4

      1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness
      2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry.
      3 The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
      4 Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.'"
      5 The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
      6 The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.
      7 If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours."
      8 Jesus answered him, "Get behind me Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.'"
      9 He led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,
      10 for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;'
      11 and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.'"
      12 Jesus answering, said to him, "It has been said, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"
      13 When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.
      14 Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.
      15 He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
      16 He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
      17 The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,
      18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,
      19 and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
      20 He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.
      21 He began to tell them, "Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
      22 All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, "Isn't this Joseph's son?"
      23 He said to them, "Doubtless you will tell me this parable, 'Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.'"
      24 He said, "Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.
      25 But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land.
      26 Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
      27 There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian."
      28 They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things.
      29 They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.
      30 But he, passing through their midst, went his way.
      31 He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,
      32 and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.
      33 In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
      34 saying, "Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!"
      35 Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" When the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.
      36 Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, "What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!"
