WALKING AGAIN

Newsletter January – A New Start

Hello, and welcome back to “normal” life! Especially welcome to newcomers in Lund and to DOMINO.
We are place where to rejoice in life, share good and difficult things – a place for seriousness and listening to each others. Listening to each others is to listen to God, God hidden in the heart of everyone of us.
God is essentially not a god of condamnation or good moral conduct, but the One inviting us to his loving kindness – a love that makes our hearts light and willing to love.
Christians are baptized and most of us received this sign on us as little babies -already there something happened to us, a meeting with God that made our hearts disposed to continue the relationship with him. IT was a start that we ourselves can answer on, always and again during our life.
There is always a new start with God. That means: we are not condemned to the dark forces wihtin us or in the world. In faith the power of such powers already broke down. It is possible with the force of God – yes it is – to live in love and doing good things.
Next Tuesday we start our Taizé prayers at 7.30. It´s a good occasion to be together and to express ourselves freely. It´s an occasion, I think, to grow in trust, to grow as a human person.

Vi börjar torsdagen den 19 kl 17.15 med TEMA – där vi, hoppas jag kan vara tillsammans på ett enkelt sätt och ställa frågor kring allt möjligt, oss själva, världen, Gud, kyrkan – och vad tro egentligen är och innebär.

Then there will be lots of other things – films, litterature reading, Mass, meditation…look in the program beneath and the one coming in a few days!, yours br Björn

We start the new year with a serie of films by Jim Jarmusch – the first being his first film, before his great success Stranger than Paradise, that will come later.
“Permanent Vacation is a narrative, which follows two and a half days in the life of Aloysious Parker, a your wanderer with no home, no school, and no job. He has lived i all kinds of situations and with many different people – almost all of them exiles from the daily, working world. Now, at the age of sixteen, Allie drifts into and out of strange encounters with other misfits; always moving, always keeping just ahead of whatever it is that seem chasing him. “

SATURDAY January 21^st 11.30 in front of Lund Station:
-  Walk along Höje å in Southern Lund
A pleasant walk following the ponds that stretch from the nice village of Värpinge to Saint Lars park in the southern outskirts of Lund. We´ll meet at 11:30 in front of Lund station, from where we start walking. The walk should not be longer than 2 hours, then on the way back to the centre we can have a fika at my place in Nilsstorp.
Take good shoes, for the ground can be rather muddy and wet!
Please let me know until the 19th if you intend to come!

Newsletter – Merry Christmas and a Happy 2012

hello everyone,

Thanks everyone who has contributed to our student community the last year. Thanks for all sharing and good things that has been given among us. Thanks to those who are now leaving us to return back to their countries, Aurélie, Veronika and others. Thanks for all new perspectives that are given, for all opening, listening, for all compassion, for all initiative and presence.
- And welcome back from the 9th of January. This week it´s the last Taizé prayer and last Wednesday Mass.
For next year there will be some slight changes. We´ll try to form a Young Adult group, ca+28 beside  the Domino.  We think of to reserve the 2nd and 4th Monday/month for these occasions. Br Yves will guide this group.
On every second Thursday I hope we can gather a Swedish spoken Domino group late afternoon 17.15-18.45, to invite all students to Tema och fika.
And certainly there will be many things happening. February 9th to 11th we continue our Film Days with films by Robert Bresson and Andrei Tarkovsky – the professor of Cinema Studies in Stockholm, Astrid Söderbergh-Widding, will join us for a conference – Necessity and Grace, Robert Bresson as cinematograph - and friendly discussions.
Merry Christmas and a Happy 2012! Let us rejoice together that God is born as a human being as us, to let us  become like him-all love and peace, yours br Björn
