Reims

I am very excited that in 3 months I will be living in Reims, the French capital of champagne. Let me tell you a little about it.
Reims is a place of coronation of French rulers and the capital of exclusive champagne. It is both spiritual and mundane. Metropolitan and provincial The land in which Reims lies, Champagne, is an agricultural region. Its name comes from the words "champ", field, and "campagne", a village. Champagne lent its name to the famous French wine. What a paradox, that an exclusive alcohol would be called a peasant in a loose translation. It is hard to imagine a worse name for a luxury product. However, it does not bother champagne.

In French Champagne, the climate is mild, but rainy, and chalky soils. Thanks to the unique combination on the world scale, the region becomes an ideal environment for vines. They have been cultivated here for centuries. Since the seventeenth century, champagne reigns, a symbol of luxury and sophistication.

I've chosen to go there on Erasmus because of my friend who I met on my au pair experience. She loves to study there. She told me that this is a beautiful, not so big town for students (owing to big amout of universities there).She encouraged me to go to Reims and I cannot wait to be there! :D

Love and Mercy

Love and Mercy

Few days ago I was in Cinema with my family. We were watching „Love and Mercy” movie directed by Michał Kondrat. I really wanted to see it because of thriller. I’m a catholic but i don’t like the movies about some people who f.ex. saw a God or someone saint at the movie wants to show this adventure in the way they’ve told them how it was, because it usually looks so artificial. Example of this projection is “Heaven is for real”

This movie in contrary was half documentary and made me really satisfied at the end. It tells a story of saint Faustina from her teenage life to the end and after her’s death, when her confessor was trying to he would fulfill the instructions given to her by God. It shows the proofs that she’s seen a God for real. For example the thing that she “predicted” (God showed her) Second World War and the destroyed and demolished Warsaw at this time.

What was fascinating is  the picture of Jesus who wanted to be painted the way he was seen by her. She was working with the painter for half of a year by many hours to give it an identical look as she’s seen. The painter was exhausted and enormously annoyed by her tips. He was distracted  and angry at the moment of her entering his painting atelier. At the end she was satisfied by the painting.

After many years the scientists made a research and compared this painting to the Manopello image and Shroud of Turin. They observed that 8 points of a face in this two images was in identical place of face in Jesus misericordias painting.
