Anthony Mastroeni It is not possible for everyone to go to Confession on the Feast Day. As Fr. Seraphim has said, “God will not ask us to do the impossible.” Cardinal Francis Marcharski, Archbishop of Cracow, Poland the protector of the Divine Mercy devotion points out that we should be preparing for the Feast of Mercy during the whole season of Lent, and we should make our Confession even before Holy Week. All mortal sins must be brought to the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Penance as soon as possible. The important thing is to approach the Fountain of Mercy with sincere repentance for all our sins and allow Jesus to transform our hearts.

The project asks how installation art can be the means for responding in Australia to the feeling encountered in moving between Poland and Australia. Critical inquiries into this question reveal the links between feeling and politics, and show how systems of knowledge shape human and mythical bodies as well as the borders between secular and sacred spaces. More specifically, the research asks how the established institutions of a place claim control over the borders between visible and invisible worlds, involving secular and sacred spheres, as well as between inner and outer territories. The project investigates how traditional Polish folk devotional practices and contemporary art practices, such as those of Ilya Kabakov, Marina Abramović, Louise Bourgeois, and Magdalena Abakanowicz, resist the politics of control over those boundaries.

  • Paschal Troparion
    Paschal troparion From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search "Christ anesti" redirects here. For the greeting, see Paschal greeting. The Paschal troparion or Christos anesti (Greek: Χριστὸς ἀνέστη) is the characteristic hymn for the celebration of Pascha (Easter) in the Eastern Orthodox Church and those Eastern Catholic Churches which follow the Byzantine Rite. Like most troparia it is a brief stanza often used as a refrain between the verses of a Psalm, but is also used on its own. Its authorship is unknown. It is nominally sung in Tone Five, but often is sung in special melodies not connected with the Octoechos. It is often chanted thrice (three times in succession). [edit] Usage The troparion is first sung during the Paschal Vigil at the end of the procession around the church which takes place at the beginning of Matins. When all are gathered before the church's closed front door, the clergy and faithful take turns chanting the troparion, and then it is used as a refrain to a selection of verses from Psalms 67 and 117 (this is the Septuagint numbering; the KJV numbering is 68 and 118): Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; let those who hate Him flee from before His face (Ps. 67:1) As smoke vanishes, so let them vanish; as wax melts before the fire (Ps. 67:2a) So the sinners will perish before the face of God; but let the righteous be glad (Ps. 67:2b) This is the day which the Lord hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
