FAUTES, OFFENSES ET TRANSGRESSIONS DANS LE DISCOURS DE LA PRIÈRE
Mistakes, Offences and Transgressions in the Discourse of Prayers

Summary/Abstract: The nouns “faute”, “offense” and “transgression” occur quite often in the French discourse of the Christian prayer. The aim of this article is to analyse them, from a discursive point of view, along with the updating of their meaning in some prayer texts in the Tradition of the Orthodox Church. It is the case of the prayers that are read before and after the Holy Communion, as well as of those that are part of the funeral services for monks. These prayers are translated in French by two important translators of liturgical texts: father archimandrite Placide Deseille and father Denis Guillaume. The article refers, therefore, to the Orthodoxy that has been ingrained since the beginning of the last century in France and that has been practiced and experienced in French.
