A șaptea pecete

Bologna, 2019

ore de drum

Bologna, 2019

În plin centrul Bolognei, înconjurat de palate renascentiste, complexul Santo Stefano, ferit miraculos de agitația urbană, reunește un ansamblu de șapte edificii religioase, toate clădite pe apropieri istorice cu fapte din Orientul de mijloc.

Ocrotită de Sf.Ștefan, primul martir creștin condamnat la moarte de autoritățile din Ierusalim, edificată de Sf. Petroniu, protectorul orașului și episcop, prima din cele șapte biserici s-a ridicat între 431-450 pe locul unui templu.

În amintirea pelerinajului înfăptuit în Țara Sfântă, episcopul a năzuit să întemeieze aici un Ierusalim bolognez, sub forma unui parcurs religios menit să reproducă locurile patimilor Mântuitorului.

Celelalte șase din jurul ei au fost isprăvite, reînnoite, modificate în secolele următoare. Între 700 și 1388, prima biserică din cele șapte dobândise statutul de cel mai important lăcaș de cult al orașului. În 1388, când vremurile s-au schimbat, mai-marii au decis să confere acest privilegiu catedralei Sf.Petroniu, proaspăt inaugurată în Piazza Maggiore.

our hearts packed in love…

Develop. Inspire. Transform.

gifts under the tree, it seems like some kind of land in-
between, known and not, it’s as if
you’ve come from afar,
and
dropped

the love you feel in aspects hearted, they are dreams
displayed with love, and a misty-eyed cavalcade
imparted

ribbons
held together,
just right,
the fit
tight,
with
much light,
swirling in a vacuum
of delight…and

a tender-loving kindness, with a whole lot of rich-textured
sentimental(ness)
bestowed
before
we
go, and
take flight

leaving behind our hearts packaged in love, bright, on this
most glorious
night…

     During the time that we stayed in that place of respite, we always took our meals up in our room.  It had a small window very high up, and thus seemed safe enough from curious glances.  Though I gained steadily in strength each day, all the household, it seemed, hung on tender-hooks for my recovery.  We ate simple fare, whether due to my delicate condition, or to Mrs. H.’s lack of kitchen help, I did not know.  But we ate often, and the food was filling.  We knew we would need it for the journey ahead.

 

One morning, the doctor knocked…

Christ Mass

normabobb

Today we celebrate Mass for the Christ who came to pave the way for our redemption, that is assuming we are Christians. It’s a time for prayerful reflection on whether we are practicing what we preach. If Christianity is lived the way it is preached this world would become a haven of peace instead of war and devastation. Merry Christmas to all.
