  1. Pietní cyklojízda za oběť nehody na Vídeňské

    Kongresové centrum Praha, středa 10. června v 19:00 SELČ

    Ve středu 10. června od 19:00 proběhne v Praze pietní cyklojízda za oběť smrtelné dopravní nehody, která se stala ve čtvrtek 4. června na Vídeňské ulici v Krči. Akci pořádá spolek AutoMat, Bike Kitchen Praha a iniciativa Critical Mass Praha.

    Sraz účastníků je naplánován před Kongresovým centrem na Vyšehradě. Odtud se účastníci společně vydají na křižovatku Vídeňské ulice a ulice U Krčského nádraží, kde při střetu s autobusem zemřel muž jedoucí na kole.

    Na místě nehody účastníci společně uctí památku oběti. Součástí pietního setkání bude zapálení svíček u takzvaného Ghost Biku – bílého kola připomínajícího člověka, který na daném místě přišel o život při dopravní nehodě. To se na místě nachází již od soboty 6. června.

  2. Lidé si dnes na několika místech v Česku připomenou památku Jana Palacha, který se před 57 lety polil hořlavinou a zapálil na pražském Václavském náměstí ve snaze vyburcovat společnost z letargie po okupaci Československa vojsky Varšavské smlouvy v srpnu 1968.

    This picture is not on display at the moment, but I remember seeing it decades ago and its lodging in my memory as an image of late medieval devotion.

    In the grand scheme of art history, this particular painting is not of great significance, yet its place in my memory shows how even a minor work can play a major role in the development of an individual's understanding and sensibilities.

  8. »The Pietà […] is a subject in Christian art depicting the Blessed Virgin #Mary cradling the mortal body of #Jesus Christ after his Descent from the Cross. It is most often found in sculpture. The Pietà is a specific form of the Lamentation of Christ in which Jesus is mourned by the Virgin Mary alone.«

    I have never seen angry replies to a #Pietà photo posted.

    Unless it does not show Mary, but Safiya. Not Jesus, but Khalil. Not a rock at #Golgotha, but rubble in #Gaza. Not what Roman iron nails did, but a US MK-84.

  10. Une visite qui ne paraissait pas trop dans le thème de la période... et pourtant !
    Voici la "Pietà for the World War I" de l'artiste Thomas Bayrle qui est actuellement visible au musée du #Hartmannswillerkopf en #Alsace.

  11. Quote of the day, 19 April: Blessed Marie-Eugène

    Mary, Hope in the Night

    At the foot of the cross, the Blessed Virgin stood—sorrowful, yet noble and strong, a true power. John was near her; he, too, was suffering. Among those whom Jesus had chosen, he alone remained at the foot of the cross. He welcomed the Virgin Mary, received her as his own.

    What boldness, what grace—and at that moment, what a burden of sorrow! She followed where he led. She remained dignified, steadfast; conceived without sin, she was all purity and strength. There was not the slightest weakness in her will—and yet in her heart, what suffering, and in her spirit, what anguish!

    Her Son, the Word made flesh, her King, was dead. He had been laid in a tomb like any mortal—He truly was dead, as the wound in His side made plain. There could be no illusions, not even for the most ardent love that longs to hope. Jesus was dead. And now, she no longer even had His body.

    She was alone.

    She was alone—the only true power that remained—but alone. And that strength, that fruitfulness, she carried with great pain, with deep sorrow.

    The cross is our hope. O Mary, now you are our only living hope, and we come to stay near you.

    O Virgin Mary, even today you reveal the power and effectiveness of Jesus’ final word on the cross: “Behold your mother.”

    You truly are our mother. We wanted to comfort you, but in the presence of your strength, in the atmosphere you create, in the light and peace you radiate, we can only be—and we only want to be—your children.

    O Virgin Mary, mother of Holy Saturday, impress our souls with the mark of this day; help us preserve everything that flows from you in this hour. We already knew you as our tender mother—we had never seen you so noble, so majestic, so powerful, and at the same time, so sorrowful. What a lesson for us: a lesson in trust, in hope in you, and a lesson for how we are to live.

    Yesterday we asked to share in your motherhood—and that meant asking to share in your prayer, in your suffering, in your union with Jesus. You show us how to carry the weight of suffering so that it becomes fruitful, so that it brings forth new life in us.

    O Virgin Mary, tomorrow—or even tonight—be a mother to us, mother of the life of the Risen Christ! Be a mother to each of us, to all those we love, to the Church, to the world. Make the world share in the peace that radiates from you.

    Blessed Marie-Eugène of the Child Jesus

    Featured image: Ivan Meštrović’s Descent from the Cross, sculpted between 1942 and 1946, captures the moment when Christ’s body is gently lowered into the arms of His Mother. The sculpture is located in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, where it continues to invite silent meditation on the mystery of Good Friday.

    Reflection Question
    When I find myself alone in sorrow, do I entrust myself to Mary’s strength and allow her to shape my hope?

  12. Het standbeeld voor Peter R de Vries op het Leidseplein. Op de armen staat een tekst van hem, in zijn afscheidsbrief vastgelegd voor zijn kinderen:
    ‘Blijf wie je bent... houd als het nodig is je rug recht, kom op voor zwakkeren en minderheden, zeg eerlijk wat je vindt en luister naar je rechtvaardigheidsgevoel.’
    Deze tekst staat in 40 talen. Voor alle migranten. De kunstenaar ontwierp de twee armen zodanig dat onduidelijk is welke hand de andere beschermt. #art #amsterdam #Pieta #leidseplein
