20 action de grâce

( action(s) de grâce(s))

1) благодарственное молебствие, благодарственный молебен, молитва

Tant de bonne foi rassure la foi de Barbier qui, d'esprit fort, devient un dévot enragé. On se rendit en foule à la procession d'actions de grâce qui défila de Charonne à Notre-Dame. (J. Orieux, Voltaire ou la royauté de l'esprit.) — Такая искренняя вера в шаронское чудо поколебала совесть Барбье, который из неверующего превратился в религиозного фанатика. Целая толпа верующих отправилась с процессией - крестным ходом, от Шаронн до собора Парижской богоматери.

Oui, je me reproche de prier peu et mal. Presque tous les jours, après la messe, je dois interrompre mon action de grâces pour recevoir tel ou tel, des malades, généralement. (G. Bernanos, Journal d'un curé de campagne.) — Да, я кляну себя за то, что молюсь мало и плохо. Почти каждый день, после мессы я прерываю свою благодарственную молитву, чтобы принять то одного, то другого, правда, чаще всего болящих.

2) изъявление благодарности

- Remarquez, ajouta le marquis, en coupant court aux actions de grâces, que je ne veux point vous sortir de votre état. (Stendhal, Le Rouge et le Noir.) — - И заметьте, - добавил маркиз, резко обрывая его изъявления благодарности, - я вовсе не хочу, чтобы вы изменяли вашему званию.

- faire son action de grâce
