The Little and the Great Things includes a reading of the eponymous prayer followed by beautiful piano music based on an original composition of Frederic Chopin. The piano composition includes Nocturne in G Major, Op. 37 No. 2 - Andantino. The nocturne is painted with Chopin's most ethereal brush, characterised by beautiful sensuousness and luscious soft, rounded tones, and not without a certain degree of languor.

Intended to be a defense of the Christian religion, Pensées is a penetrating collection of thoughts on faith, reason, and theology. Unfinished at the time of Pascal's death, the book consists of philosophical fragments on the "wretchedness" of man and the controversial schisms of the church at the time. It includes the philosopher's infamous wager encouraging belief over agnosticism, as well as his thoughts on numerous other topics. Endlessly quotable, Pensées overflows with pearls of wisdom, each elusive sentence pregnant with a universe of thought.

Les Pensées de Pascal ont été retrouvées à sa mort, le 19 août 1662, sous la forme d'un grand nombre d'opuscules, de notes fragmentaires plus ou moins développées, achevées. Les fragments ont alors été copiés tels qu'ils avaient été trouvés. Une pensée intérieure philosophique et théologique s'y déploie, laissant apparaître une apologie de la religion chrétienne. L'homme y est dépeint dans ses contradictions les plus intimes, révélant ainsi tous les masques de la grande comédie humaine. C'est la vérité qui est recherchée par l'auteur, pour y conduire peu à peu le lecteur.

Blaise Pascal describes the way in which a soul comes to repentance. It is a process of realization, self-abasement, and the understanding of grace. From this follows gratitude and the determination to serve and worship.

The French physicist, philosopher, and mathematician Blaise Pascal discovered a great secret of persuasion. Pascal saw that the surest way of changing false beliefs is by showing all sides to a question, including the side that the erring person missed. It is best when the beauty of reality reveals itself.

In this work, Pascal draws an analogy between a man who was appointed king just because he resembled a long-lost king and those who are rich and powerful. He argues that the twists and turns of life are all due to chance and unforeseen events. The wealthy and powerful ought thus to despise desire and its kingdom and aspire to that kingdom of love in which all the subjects breathe nothing but love and desire nothing but the benefits of love.

Pascal illuminates the substantial differences between the early church and the Church of today. Formerly, it was necessary to forsake the world in order to be received into the Church, while people now enter the Church at the same time as they enter the world. There was thus an essential distinction between the world and the Church, the two being considered as two opposites.

Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662) war ein französischer Universalgelehrter, der sowohl in den Bereichen der Mathematik als auch der Philosophie während seines kurzen Lebens eine Schaffensfreude an den Tag legte, die kaum glaublich scheint. In seinen "Gedanken" (hier eine Auswahl) bietet er Einblicke in seine Gedankenwelt bezüglich Religion, Philosophie und anderen Themen.

Als der Philosoph Blaise Pascal 1662 starb, hinterließ er der Menschheit eine rund tausendseitige Zettelwirtschaft, gut verschnürt in sechzig handlichen Stapeln. Die Fragmente sind Gott und vor allem dem Menschen gewidmet, der nicht aus purer Vernunft handele, sondern sich stattdessen durch Schwächen und Ungewissheiten auszeichne. In seinen "Gedanken" stellt der tiefreligiöse Blaise Pascal die großen Fragen der Menschheit. Eine bis heute faszinierende Lektüre, die jeden Menschen herausfordert und bereichert.
