DAS QUATRO COISAS QUE PROPORCIONAM GRANDE PAZ

 
Filho, agora te ensinarei o caminho da paz e da verdadeira liberdade.
Fazei, Senhor, o que dizeis, porque me é grato houvir isto.
Procura, filho, fazer antes a vontade de outrem que a tua.
Escolhe sempre ter menos do que mais.
Busca antes o ultimo lugar e sujeita-te a todos.
Deseja e pede,sem cessar, que se cumpra plenamente em ti a vontade de Deus.

 

THE WAYS OF THE SPIRIT

Did the Virgin Mary really die?

Did the Virgin Mary
really die?


The very first question that arises staring at an ancient Byzantine icon of the Dormition representing the Virgin Mary’s body laying on a bed and Her figure raising above it, it’s if this picture, painted by a Mount Athos monk, indented to represent, with such a little convincing patterns, only Her Soul or Her entire Body as well. A religious inexperienced viewer would have his attention attracted by the abstract symbolism, while the pious viewer looking for cheap experiences would be contradicted by the archaic verism of the Virgin laying on a bed on the verge on expiring, like an ordinary woman.
