![“Winter through the illuminated medieval gates scene of the Church of the Assumption of Mary on Lake Bled, Slovenia - Painting by Dino Carbetta”…<br />
<br />
The picturesque and very famous Island of Lake Bled is only 180 miles from Venice and 93 miles from Trieste, Italy by car. According to written sources, the first masonry church on the island, a three-nave Romanesque Basilica, was consecrated by the Aquilean patriarch Pellegrino in 1142. In the 15th century, it was rebuilt in the Gothic style: a new presbytery, a freestanding bell tower, and the main altar were built. The renovated single-nave church was consecrated in 1465 by the first bishop of Ljubljana. In 1509 it was damaged by an earthquake to such an extent that it required thorough renovation in Baroque style. Only the frescoes in the presbytery and a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, which probably adorned the main altar, were preserved from the previous Gothic church. The present form of the church dates from the 17th century when it was renovated after another earthquake. The main altar with its rich gold-plated carving dates from 1747. On the central altarpiece, the Virgin Mary is shown seated, with the donor of the Bled estate, Henry II, and his wife Kunigunda at her side. The side altars, consecrated to St. Sebastian, St. Magdalena, and St. Anna, were made at the end of the 17th century. The present tower is 177’ high and has three bells. Like the church, the other buildings, the walls, and the monumental staircase (99 stairs) were preserved. The wishing bell…It is said that whoever rings the bell and thereby gives honor to Virgin Mary, has the wish granted. [Psalm 132:8] “Arise, LORD, come to your resting place, you and your mighty ark.”](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000naaU8RprMd4/fill=/fit=200x200/I0000naaU8RprMd4.jpg)
!["Madonna and baby Jesus in the Cathedral of St. Andrew"... <br />
<br />
On the last of three glorious days in Positano, I arose early to catch the sunrise over the village. However, at about 10:00 am …the cold rains came down dampening the glorious sun. I caught the rain-soaked ferry down the coast to the seaside town of Amalfi. The Cattedrale di Sant'Andrea/Duomo di Amalfi is usually packed with tourists bused and ferried from hundreds of miles away, but with the dreary weather, many chose to stay away. There has been a church on this site in Amalfi since 596 AD and the one built in the 9th century still stands today. The present cathedral was built adjacent to the old one in the early 13th century to provide a suitable resting place for St. Andrew the Apostle. The two were originally joined together to form a single, six-nave Romanesque cathedral. Pieces of the newer walls have been taken down to expose parts of the walls of the ancient original church, and one can ponder history by this glimpse back in time. I was enraptured by the sacred art devotional of the Madonna and Baby Jesus as I exited the magnificent Cathedral, a forever remembrance of my cherished rainy day in Amalfi. [Acts 14:17] “Yet, in bestowing his goodness, he did not leave himself without witness, for he gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, and filled you with nourishment and gladness for your hearts.”](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000eT47UbXX2p0/fill=/fit=200x200/I0000eT47UbXX2p0.jpg)
!["Glorious Madonna of Sorrows - Cathedral of San Rufino, Assisi - Splendor"...<br />
<br />
The title, Our Lady of Sorrows, given to our Blessed Mother focuses on her intense suffering and grief during the passion and death of our Lord. Traditionally, this suffering was not limited to the passion and death event; rather, it comprised the seven sorrows of Mary, which were foretold by the Priest Simeon who proclaimed to Mary, This child [Jesus] is destined to be the downfall and the rise of many in Israel, a sign that will be opposed and you shall be pierced with a sword so that the thoughts of many hearts may be laid bare (Luke 2:34-35). These seven sorrows of our Blessed Mother included the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt; the loss and finding of the child Jesus in the Temple; Mary's meeting of Jesus on His way to Calvary; Mary's standing at the foot of the cross when our Lord was crucified; her holding of Jesus when He was taken down from the cross; and then our Lord's burial. In all, the prophecy of Simeon that a sword would pierce our Blessed Mother's heart was fulfilled in these events. For this reason, Mary is sometimes depicted with her heart exposed and with seven swords piercing it. More importantly, each new suffering was received with the courage, love, and trust that echoed her fiat, let it be done unto me according to thy word, first uttered at the Annunciation. Adoration of the Madonna as a participant in the Passion of Christ is the image of the iconographic tradition finished in 1672. Luke 2:34-35 "And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall and the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted; And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that out of many hearts thoughts may be revealed."](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I00000gmkgWjP9m4/fill=/fit=200x200/I00000gmkgWjP9m4.jpg)
![“Fishing boat resting in front of the Sant'Anna Sorrento Restaurant - Painting by Dino Carbetta”…<br />
<br />
Duomo di Sorrento is one of my favorite hidden treasures in Italy. On our last day on the Bellissimo Amalfi Coast, Father Peak offered a venerable morning Mass for our semi-exhausted group of Pilgrims upon the High Altar. Hallelujah, it was our first free day of the 2019 Pilgrimage and most were heading to Capri. I convinced my fellow Pilgrim Patrick that Marina Grande was the preferred location to commemorate this rain-threatened day. Sunday afternoon in this tiny hallowed port on the Mediterranean was bustling, not with tourists, but with energetic and unassuming locals. The misty skies were vulnerable all day with the threat of rain, but the reluctant sun penetrated the clouds for a few fortuitous moments. God painted the skies for brief moments with luminous pastel elements of abstract color. A lonely boat gleamed in the late evening sun resting upon the wet sand. Saint Matthew’s account of Peter trying to walk on water came to mind: “Peter said to him in reply, ‘Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how [strong] the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith,* why did you doubt?” After they got into the boat, the wind died down. Those who were in the boat did him homage, saying, “Truly, you are the Son of God.” (Matt: 14: 28-33) We left after lunch only to humbly return capturing the evening seascape a few hours before our reservation with the entire Pilgrimage group for a perfect dinner at my favorite restaurant, Ristorante di “Zi'Ntonio Mare.](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000DNktF818OyQ/fill=/fit=200x200/I0000DNktF818OyQ.jpg)
![“Our Lady of Fatima embraces the Old Glory - Painting by Dino Carbetta”…<br />
<br />
Inspiring hope in such a desperate situation, the Holy Father – John Paul II celebrated Mary as the only creature who has fully experienced the final victory of life. He presented her as the one who remains at the center of the struggle for life in this world: At her Assumption, Mary was “taken up to Life” – body and soul. She is already a part of “the first fruits” (1 Cor 15:20) of our Savior’s redemptive Death and Resurrection. The Son took his human life from her; in return, he gave her the fullness of communion in Divine Life. She is the only other being in whom the mystery has already been completely accomplished. In Mary, the final victory of Life over death is already a reality. These are astonishing words – “the final victory of Life over death is already a reality” in Our Lady! It is also one of the boldest prophetic statements of our age to claim that, after Christ, the Virgin Mary “is the only other being in whom the mystery [of Divine Life] has already been completely accomplished.” In so many words the Holy Father was saying that all those who consider themselves pro-life must take Mary as their pre-eminent champion in the struggle to restore legal protection to unborn children and to root out a pervasive culture of death. Our Lady was the channel through which Divine Life came to us. She is now the one who will restore life to a society that has succumbed to death.](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000UC8Y2.41NEs/fill=/fit=200x200/I0000UC8Y2.41NEs.jpg)
![“Faith, Hope, and Love – Painting by Dino Carbetta”…<br />
<br />
Psalm 46: 2-8 “God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress. Thus we do not fear, though earth be shaken and mountains quake to the depths of the sea, though its waters rage and foam and mountains totter at its surging. Streams of the river gladden the city of God, the holy dwelling of the Most High. God is in its midst; it shall not be shaken; God will help it at break of day. Though nations rage and kingdoms totter, he utters his voice and the earth melts. The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob.” <br />
<br />
2 Corinthians 4:8-10 “We are afflicted in every way, but not constrained; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body.”<br />
<br />
Romans 5:1-5 “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access [by faith] to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.”](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000b_OTorwwbzM/fill=/fit=200x200/I0000b_OTorwwbzM.jpg)
![“Pastel Sunset of the Venetian Canal”…<br />
<br />
I never knew quite where I was going in Venice, but just followed the canal, or became trapped by the canals with no way of crossing and had to backtrack. Probably not the best way to traverse the Venice Lagoon. My last evening in Venice I accidentally stumbled on Ponte dei Scalzi, "bridge of the barefoot [monks],” one of only four bridges in Venice to span the Grand Canal. The bridge connects the Sestieri of Santa Croce and Cannaregio. I set up my camera facing east in view of the dome and campanile of Chiesa di San Geremia, which contains the relics of Saint Lucy, the patron saint of our eyes. After taking many images of the descending sun, I decided to follow the sun by way of the church of San Geremia taking a hard left northwest along the Cannaregioa Canal, and taking this photo of the setting sun from the bridge, Ponte delle Guglie. After the sunset, I found my way back to my favorite restaurant, Hosteria Al Vecio Bragosso. Che Dio Benedica l'Italia!](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000YduRz0qChxE/fill=/fit=200x200/I0000YduRz0qChxE.jpg)
![Immaculate, Queen and Mother of the Church - Painting by Dino Carbetta<br />
<br />
“Who are you, O Immaculate Conception?” asks St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe. The Knight of the Immaculata goes on: “Not God, for God has no beginning. Not Adam, made from the dust of the earth. Not Eve, drawn from Adam’s body. Nor is she the Incarnate Word who already existed from all eternity and who was conceived, but is not really a “conception.” Prior to their conception, the children of Eve do not exist, hence they can more properly be called “conceptions;” and yet you, O Mary, differ from them too, because they are conceptions contaminated by original sin, whereas you are the one and only Immaculate Conception. In the union of the Holy Spirit with her, not only does love bind these two beings, but the first of them [the Holy Spirit] is all the love of the Most Holy Trinity, while the second [the Blessed Virgin Mary] is all the love of creation, and thus in that union heaven is joined to earth, the whole heaven with the whole earth, the whole of Uncreated Love with the whole of created love: this is the vertex of love.” Virgin Mary proclaimed to St. Bernadette Soubirous: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” In the words of St. Maximilian, the Blessed Virgin is the Created Immaculate Conception, as the Holy Spirit is the Uncreated Immaculate Conception. In the words of St. Francis of Assisi, Mary is the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. St. Maximilian Kolbe, a true son of St. Francis, explains: “What kind of union is this? It is above all interior; it is the union of her very being with the being of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit dwells in her, lives in her, from the first instant of her existence, and he will do so always, throughout eternity… This uncreated Immaculate Conception conceives divine life immaculately in the soul of Mary, his Immaculate Conception. The virginal womb of her body, too, is reserved for him who conceives there in time—the divine life of the God-Man.”](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000oO030URjjio/fill=/fit=200x200/I0000oO030URjjio.jpg)
![“Sant'Andrea Imagining the Crucifixion of Christ - Amalfi Cathedral”…<br />
<br />
I caught the rain-soaked ferry down the coast to the seaside town of Amalfi. The Duomo di Amalfi is usually packed with tourists bused and ferried from 100’s of miles away, but with the dreary weather, many stayed away. A church has resided on this site in Amalfi since 596 AD and the one built in the 9th century still stands today. The present cathedral was built adjacent to the old one in the early 13th century to provide a suitable resting place for St. Andrew the Apostle. The two were originally joined together to form a single, six-nave Romanesque cathedral. Newer walls have been taken down to expose parts of the ancient original church, and one can ponder history by this glimpse back in time. Andrew, Saint Peter’s brother and one of Christ’s closest disciples was also the disciple of John the Baptist. Saint Andrew was called with Peter: “As [Jesus] was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is now called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, ‘Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ At once they left their nets and followed him” (Matthew 4:18-20). Stairs near the east end of the Duomo descend into the Crypt of St. Andrew, where his relics are kept in the central altar. The crypt is decorated with magnificent Baroque murals from 1660. As I knelt and prayed at the glorious crypt befitting this great disciple who was martyred on an X-shaped crucifix, my mind wandered to the true nature of this chosen man who became a Disciple and Saint. I stirred around to the back of the altar and found myself facing his eternal light and relics. I knelt again in prayer feeling the great essence and presence of this selfless apostle. As in many other locations and churches in Italy, where Saints seem to be from every town, I was overcome with deep emotion and an abundance of heartfelt spiritual joy!](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000_QOj8XJTNqc/fill=/fit=200x200/I0000_QOj8XJTNqc.jpg)
