Santa Maria del Silenzio al Paesetto

"The community of S. Maria del Silenzio in Rome continues to be an oasis of peace for those who wish to dedicate a short or extended time to prayer. In the small chapel of the guesthouse, built with enthusiasm by a group of young volunteers, up to a few days ago the apse was presented white, until some sisters undertook to paint a splendid Christ Pantocrator. Jesus, depicted in glory, and the blessing. In the silence that envelops the liturgical space the word of the Pantocrator dominates: << Come to me. "Even the figure of the Lord speaks! Crossing the door of the chapel, a person feels reached and enveloped by his gaze of mercy: never as in this time do we need, as a human family, to rediscover ourselves under the gaze of God, in a prayer that brings the whole world to the mind and heart. The fresco is a three-handed work by our three sisters dedicated to Sacred Art, who respectively come from Bolivi a, from Croatia and India. This experience is a sign and proof that cultures, when they meet in the name of harmony, are capable of creating the most beautiful things. "
