Résumé
Pour l’Église orthodoxe, les moines et les chrétiens qui vivent dans le monde partagent le même idéal : la « déification » de l’homme ou « divinisation » de la nature humaine. Chacun peut l’atteindre par l’entremise du don de l’Esprit et de l’engagement personnel. Mais qu’est-ce qui fait la singularité du moine ? C’est l’adoption d’un genre de vie organisé en vue de ce seul but et sanctionné publiquement par l’Église à travers les vœux professés. C’est cette voie monastique, un aspect particulièrement important de la tradition spirituelle de l'orthodoxie, que le père Placide Deseille nous fait découvrir ici pour la première fois en langue française. Pour y apporter son propre témoignage, le père Placide a ajouté le « Typicon », ou Règle de vie, de son monastère Saint-Antoine-le-Grand dans le Vercors, qui fut fondé en 1978 comme métochion du monastère de Simonos Petra, du mont Athos, en Grèce.

For the Orthodox Church, monks - and Christians living in the world – all share the same ideal: the ‘deification’ of man or the ‘divinizing’ of human nature. Each may achieve it through the gift of the Holy Spirit and by personal commitment. But what is specific about the monk’s life? It is their adoption of a lifestyle that has been organised with this sole aim, and which has been publicly sanctioned by the Church through the vows they have taken. It is this monastic path - a particularly important aspect of the Orthodox spiritual tradition - that Father Placide Deseille shows us here for the first time in the French language. By way of contributing his own personal experience, Father Placide has added the ‘Typicon’, or Rule of Life, from his monastery in Vercors, Saint-Antoine-le-Grand, which was founded in 1978 as a metochion for the monastery of Simonos Petra, on Mount Athos, in Greece.
