The Devil, Probably

This is one of the last Bresson films, where his film making, as we saw it in A Man Escaped during our Film Days in February, has found its completion. Here Bresson pictures a dark world…but is it really som dark.  Some young people in Paris, engagement, dispair and..perhaps more.
“Even by Robert Bresson’s own unique standards, The Devil, Probably, coming late in the director’s career, is his most Bressonian. Probably. In his use of non-professional actors as models, blankly reciting the text with minimal acting; in his stripping away of narrative drive and reducing the purpose of the film down to the most essential and unadorned form of expression…”

 

Volontär och studentrum /Volunteer at the Dominicans – studentroom

hej, från i höst finns det ett studentrum ledigt hos bröderna. Du bör vara en yngre man intresserad av ta del i brödernas liv. Det innebär tex att vara beredd att några timmar i veckan arbeta volontärt på klostret, och därutöver intresserad av att delta i tideböner och mässa, i mån av möjlighet.

From this Automn the will be a room for studentliving adjacent to the Dominican priory available for a  younger man interested in participating in the life of the Dominican community. You should be prepared to put some hours a week for volunteer work and be interested in participating in our life,  prayers and Masses.
Contact me, br Björn, bjorn@dominikan.nu

PROGRAM Week May 21st-27th – PENTACOSTE

Hello again, some students asked me yesterday why we celebrate Ascension. They were baptized in the Church of Sweden, but hadn´t any contact with Christian faith. Well, they are not alone. What has been Christian practice and faith is getting more and more unknown in Western society. I don´t think it´s just that people should go to church, but it´s something more deep – a perspective of life  which is not centered around our own needs, The Great  Illusion of “I”.
Christ has certainly something to propose also in this time – the perspective of hope and togetherness – not in a sentimental och purely subjective way – just the certainty of not being left alone. Life stands just in front of us, jumping into us whenever we give up our selfcenteredness.
We have a great community in Domino. People meet, pray, enjoy things, share and get friends. It´s so much goodness gathered around here. But how  to make this really enter our lives ?
We could share this also with others, going out creating new praying communities, new circles of friends wanting to be followers of Christ. So that the messgae of God´s love spreads out, futher out. I see, there are many preachers around…let this get mature and bear fruits.Think of that! It´s Pentacost – the Spirit comes!  See you! yours br Björn

DOMINO WEEK May 6th – May12th

Hello,

haven´t you got time enough?  Are you busy? Lack of time…not only in May, but certainly in May… It seems almost as something unevitable that it´s like that. – For many, but not for all. Because many people has too much time and cannot find out anything to do. Too much, or too little – in any case ruled by time you could say. As if time existed! Time -a part of an over-rationalistic world, where things are all counted in minutes: “Let´s meet 20.25″.  -  Time and money as ruling principles- certainly this is interrelated, in a dominant ideology of our age.
But  – are we not called out from slavery? Also from slavery under time (and money).  Are we not taken out to an immense freedom, by the ressurtection of Christ? Where can we look for this freedom? How can we simplify our lives, so that time does not rule us anylonger?
Well, simplify, it´s a question of choice and priority – but also of perspective. To be with God is to take a step back and get perspective. The more busy – the longer and intenser prayers! – So that we do not get caught up, but advance in freedom. Let´s look at our days, pray, get perspective – and say NO to things that are not so important…yours br Björn
