Au pied de la Croix de Jésus, Fra Angelico représente Marie, sa mère, avec une sainte femme et saint Jean. Marie Madeleine, de dos et à genoux, a le visage caché dans le sein de Marie. Le peintre dispose l'enlacement de Marie Madeleine et de Marie soutenue par les deux disciples comme une croix au pied de la Croix du Christ. L'apôtre des prisons, le bienheureux Jean-Joseph Lataste, commente : « Marie, la Vierge sans péché, et Marie, la pécheresse, unies dans un même amour et une même douleur : voilà la miséricorde ! » Voilà le pardon ! Cependant, pardonner est difficile. Il faut du temps pour y arriver : c'est un travail long, douloureux, mais combien libérateur. Le pardon est le plus beau nom de l'amour. Que serait l'amour sans lui ? Il serait sans racine et sans avenir. Sans racine, puisque l'émerveillement de l'amour implique toujours un regard de miséricorde sur l'autre. Sans avenir, car le pardon restaure sans cesse les relations et permet à l'amour de s'ajuster aux autres et aux situations et de se solidifier. Le mariage, la vie fraternelle, l'amitié sont des écoles d'amour et de pardon. Ce livre est l'écho de conférences données par l'auteur les vendredis du carême 2012 en la chapelle Notre-Dame de la Médaille Miraculeuse, rue du Bac à Paris.

At the foot of Jesus' Cross, Fra Angelico depicts Mary, His mother, along with another saintly woman and Saint John. Mary Magdalene is on her knees, her back to us, with her face buried in Mary's breast. The artist employs Mary Magdalene's embrace of Mary, who, arms extended, is being supported on either side by the two disciples, to echo the image of the crucified Christ: a cross at the foot of the Cross. The "Prisoners' Apostle", Blessed Jean-Joseph Lataste, remarked: "Mary, the Virgin without sin, and Mary, the sinner, united in the one same love and grief: therein lies mercy!" And forgiveness! However, it is not easy to forgive: it takes time it is a long and painful process, but an immeasurably liberating one. Forgiveness is love's most beautiful nomenclature. For what would love be without it? It would have neither root nor future. Rootless - because the wonderment of love always implies a merciful contemplation of another. Without future - because forgiveness always restores relations and enables love to adjust to others and to situations, and to grow stronger. Marriage, fraternity and friendship are the perfect schools wherein to learn love and forgiveness. This book is an echo the conferences given by the author each Friday in Lent 2012 in the chapel of Notre-Dame de la Médaille Miraculeuse, rue du Bac in Paris.
