Mythology

Depuis 1870, une légende parcourt l'Auvergne. On raconte que les nuits où s'installe un épais brouillard, on entend les hurlements d'une meute de loups à travers les collines. On y a vu des cercles lumineux colorés danser au-dessus d'un puits naturel que les Auvergnats appellent « Le puits aux Fadarelles ». Lors de ces nuits lugubres, les voyageurs à pied évitent de parcourir les chemins...

They call him Marrex the Monster.Deformed and wretched, Captain Marrex roams the black of space with only a pair of eccentric AIs for company.

Brother Lawrence was a man of humble beginnings who discovered the greatest secret of living in the kingdom of God here on earth. It is the art of "practicing the presence of God in one single act that does not end." He often stated that it is God who paints Himself in the depths of our souls. We must merely open our hearts to receive Him and His loving presence. As a humble cook, Brother Lawrence learned an important lesson through each daily chore: The time he spent in communion with the Lord should be the same, whether he was bustling around in the kitchen-with several people asking questions at the same time-or on his knees in prayer. He learned to cultivate the deep presence of God so thoroughly in his own heart that he was able to joyfully exclaim, "I am doing now what I will do for all eternity. I am blessing God, praising Him, adoring Him, and loving Him with all my heart." This unparalleled classic book has given both blessing and instruction to those who can be content with nothing less than knowing God in all His majesty and feeling His loving presence throughout each simple day.
