Why is the work of Madeleine Chasles so important to us

The thirties are a time of extreme stress (on the social and international scene) that led to WWII. The rise of communism and fascism and the social disturbances in the western countries, also the lasting impact of the great depression, the multiple wars abroad that preceded the world war and also colonialism, this is a picture of a violent world, no catholic thinker could remain indifferent. Let us look at our world today, the economic crisis, the sufferings of the developing countries, the stress between developed countries, are we getting close to another deflagration, the questions tackled by Madeleine Chasles are permanent, and they come not from a scholar but from a person like you and me, we are tired of scholars, they speak a difficult language, we should not be afraid of dealing with those issue by ourselves, we have the intellectual tools. And our main instrument is the Bible. But reading the bible, attending the daily mass, reciting all the prayers, all this will be for nought if we do not show love to our brothers and sisters, love and charity, the foundation of Christian faith. Obviously the reading of the bible is important. Why the bible talks to each of us, and will talk differently to each of us because we are all different. Therefore read without preconception, let God talk to you through the reading of the bible.
