After its Christmas message celebrating the birth of Jesus, the Angers church delivered on December 25th another substance, that one aimed at leading the Angers christians to be confident in God's will for the year to come. As a symbol of a desire to tight the links between them and the audience, the priests asked to the two hundreds persons present in the nave of Saint-Maurice cathedral to move from the rear to the front, till the transept, to get in better conditions the message of the Church. "Thank you to those who move", they said.
While, in the present time, people want to get answer to any question they have, the representatives of the Angers church recalled that Christians have to accept their ignorance regarding the fate of humanity and be trustful to the will of God. That suppose they accept to change their mind. They have also to recognize they are, may be, less powerful than before and more dependent on technique, the priest added (when he asked an assistant to connect the microphone allowing him to deliver his homily).
At the end of the church service, celebrated both in French and Latin, the main organ solemnly escorted the audience till the Roman Portal. It was a little bit confusing to cross from the light to the night. Maybe like in some English churches, an instant of talk gathering faithful and priests (around tea and cakes) would have be a friendly end and another way of strengthen confidence and pleasure to be there.
