a pilgrimage to van gogh

2007-04-29T21:59:00.000-07:00

On 24 April 2007, I went on a pilgrimage to the presence of the great Dutch painter, Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) in his ethereal and magical paintings.

These paintings are in the Van Gogh museum which is near the majestic Rijksmuseum
shown in this
photo.

The Van Gogh Museum has the largest collection of works by Vincent, it houses more than 200 paintings including the ones in this collection of photos.

People are not allowed to take photos of the original paintings so I ended up taking photos of reproductions sold in the museum shops outside the museum, like the Starry, starry night; the Sunflowers and the Irises.

This visit is indeed a pilgrimage in itself as one is confronted with one's soul-searching need to discover the essence of truth and beauty as expressed in deep feelings. Van Gogh himself says that his art does not follow the accepted schools during his lifetime, rather he was out to manifest "deep genuine feelings".
In art, as in religion, one is face to face with ultimate questions demanding answers which, if found, bring some measure of serenity to one's life.

IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF ST. CLEMENT IN VIENNA - PART I

2007-04-26T04:01:00.000-07:00

As part of my 2006-2007 sabbatical, I had planned to go to Vienna, Austria in order to go on a pilgrimage to this city where St. Clement Hofbauer CSsR spent a significant part of his life and where he died and was buried. I left Germany and took a train towards Vienna on Wednesday, March 21, 2007. I was going to be in Vienna for a week.

From the central station, I took a taxi and the taxi driver found the address: Redemptorist Maria am Gestade at A-1010 Wien, Salvatorgasse 12.

This is the entrance of the community house in Vienna along Salvatorgasse.

Ten Redemptorists constituted the Vienna community, but during my visit there were only 7 around including Fr. Provincial (Lorenz Voith), Fr. Rector (Hans Bruno), Primetshofer Bruno (canon lawyer), Wimmer Lambert, Papik Mariano (who works among migrants in Vienna), Heribert Koger and Bro. Mullner Josef. They received me very warmly and I was very privileged to enjoy their hospitality and kindness.

Bro. Josef takes care of the house and is a good chef. He is the only brother in the community.

Fr. Heribert Koger was mainly responsible for arranging my stay with the community. He is one of the few who speaks fluent English as he does a lot of translation work. He was mainly responsible for preparing the English text of the booklet - IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF ST CLEMENT MARIA HOFBAUER IN VIENNA, a very important document for the pilgrim who comes to Vienna to learn more about St. Clement.

This is the copy of the document.

Inside the pages of this booklet is the map as to where are the places to visit in Vienna as one follows the footsteps of St. Clement.

FIRST STOP:

THE KIRCHE (CHURCH) OF MARIA AM GESTADE (St. Mary On the Banks)

This is the facade of the church which go back to the before 900. Legend indicates that this church was founded by Madalvin, the Bishop of Passau (now Bavaria) and was then situated on the banks of a branch of the Danube river (thus its name). It was destroyed by the Hungarians in the year 907 and rebuilt but enlarged. It was in 1330 to 1367 when the High gothic choir was constructed, in 1394-1414 when the Late Gothic nave was done and in 1417 when the tower was completed. It has a very rich history. It was on 29 October 1819 that St. Clement asked Emperor Franz I to allow the Redemptorists to use the church and the adjoining building as monastery. This request was granted only on 30 April 1820, after St. Clement's death. Since 4 November 1862, the relics of St. Clement hav been inside this church. (Photos inside the church can be seen in the later section of this blog).

Outside, on the wall of the church is a historical marker put up

by the City Government. This sign indicates the historical

significance of this building.

A photo (horizontal rather than vertical) of the church from the front side.

Across the church is a Thai restaurant.

And beside the Thai restaurant is an Irish Pub. (For confreres in the Davao community, this is an interesting coincidence).

SECOND STOP:

SALVATORKIRCHE

Near to Maria am Gestade is the Salvatorkirche, or church of Salvator, a much smaller church than Maria am. This is the church where St. Clement came on Sundays and holidays and serve all the Masses. He was then a journeyman at Master Weyring's bakery. This church was founded by Otto Haymo sometime in 1301 and was and one time turned into an old town hall.

This photo shows the main altar of the church which shows its Renaissance influence.

The light from the side windows lighten up the interior of the church.

This is the entrance of the church along Salvatorgasse and note

again the triple red-and-white flag that indicates its historical

significance to the city of Vienna.

A side entrance of the church indicating is name and where there is a bulletin board announcing the schedule of services.

This is the back entrance to the church, with the Renaissance portal very visible and another historical marker. Today, the shops occupy the first floor of this building.

The same side of the building adjacent to the church. Note the notices on the windows which have to do with activities of the church.

THIRD STOP:

ST. STEPHEN'S CATHERAL

At Stephensplatz

This is the front view of St. Stephen's Cathedral, one of the major tourist/pilgrimage attractions located right at the very center of Vienna. Its Gothic architecture is quite awesome. Here St. Clement went to Mass on weekdays and served at the Masses. Here is where he met the aristocratic ladies who would later help him with his studies. His mortal remains were carried into the church on 16 March 1820 for the funeral ceremonies.

The consecration of this church took place in 1147 by the Bishop of Passau. In 1220 the oldest parts of the cathedral (the late Romanesque Riesentor and the Gothic Towers) were built. During the reign of the Habsburgs the Late Romanesque church was included along with the High Gothic choir (1304-1340). The Renaissance spire was added in 1556-1576. The church went through fires and destruction during WWII and reconstructed in the 1950s, especially the massive roof.

Inside the church is a lifesize statue of St. Clement which is placed at the prominent right side of the church very near the main altar. It is a way to honor St. Clement as one of the patron saints of Vienna.

At the entrance of the church, to the right, is an icon of the Mother-and-Child where quite a number of people visit and offer prayers.

It is an icon that has very similar symbols as those of the icon of the Mother of Perpetual Help.

FOURTH STOP:

CAFE DIGLAS

Along Wollzeile/Strobelgasse 2

This photo shows the road that connects St. Stephen's Cathedral to the Cafe Diglas to show how near this cafe is to the church.

It was in this cafe - at the back room of the pub - that the Strobelkopf-Gesellschaft (or the Strobelkopf Society) meet every Wednesday. This society had members like Klemens Brentano, Dr. Emmanuel Veith and the brothers Johann and Anton Passy who were friends of St. Clement. They referred to themselves as the Hofbauer Circle and they became outstanding champions of the revival of Catholicism in Vienna. However, St. Clement only rarely went to join them in this pub which was a hang-out of artists and intellectuals, many of whom were adherents of the Romantic School.

Very interesting that the Cafe Diglas remains a cafe until today. And bookstores surround the cafe like this Antiquariat.

This old bookstore cater to the literature sought by present-day intellectuals of the city. Browsing through the books on display one reads the authors of these books inlcuding the likes of Russell, Gadamer, Cassirer, Wittgenstein, Nietzsche, Kierkegaards, Jung, Frankl, Fichte, Hegel, Marx, Arendt, Heidegger, Eckhart, Freud and Leibniz.

As it was during St. Clement's time, this part of Vienna today continues to be where the intellectuals search for knowledge.

FIFTH STOP:

OLD UNIVERSITY

At Dr. Ignaz Seipel-Platz

This is the facade of what used to be the Old University (Alte Universitat) where St. Clement did his theological studies. Today it houses the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The university buildings were built from 1385 on with its Assembly Hall built from 1753 to 1755. The university abandoned this site in 1884.

At the side of the main building is a church administed by the Jesuits.

The exact date can no longer be determined when St. Clement came to study at this university. Around 1781

St. Clement arrived in Vienna from Tivoli, Italy where he had spent a year as a hermit. While studying here, St. Clement stayed with the Mayer family in their place in SingerstraBe. In those days Pope Pius VI came to visit Emperor Joseph II in Vienna.

The atmosphere in the university was very much against religious orders and certain religious practices. But St. Clement argued for his faith as well as challenged his professors.

Another historical marker at the front of the

building of what used to be the University.

The main lobby inside the building.

The main session hall of the building on the second floor. Note the artworks on the walls.

Looking up to the ceiling of the main session hall,

one can see frescoes painted there.

Still a photo of the main hall.

In front of the church and to the left of the University building one can see the sign indicating that this is a Jesuit Residence. In fact it is where the Provincial of the Jesuits live.

Nearby there are flowershops. As this was the early spring season, the early spring flowers like the daffodils and tulips were already being sold.

SIXTH STOP:

FRANCISCAN FRIARY

At Franziskanerplatz

This is the Franciscan Friary, founded by Emperor Friedrich III, but it occupied this present place only in 1589. This was where the first Redemptorists were able to find accomondation during their first months in Vienna.

During this time, there were only a few Franciscans in the friary

which made it possible for the first Redemptorists to stay with

them.

On the second floor of this Friary, on 19 May 1820, the first six novices received the Redemptorist habit under the protection of

Archbishop Hohenwart. On 30 May 1820, Fr. Passerat became Vicar General and successor of St. Clement. On 20 October 1820, he entered the choir of the Franciscan church and took charge of the Novitiate.

Today, the Friary remains quiet despite the hustle and bustle outside the main monastery.

2007-04-26T03:19:00.001-07:00

PART II - IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF ST. CLEMENT IN VIENNA

SEVENTH STOP:
CHURCH AND CONVENT OF ST. URSULA
(KIRCHE UND KLOSTER ST. URSULA)
Along Johannesgasse and Seilerstatte

Again, a historical marker indicating this building's historical importance.

The building that once housed the convent of St. Ursula now serves as classrooms for the Music University. The church has been preserved but it is mainly used now for concerts and student recitals. One has to seek the permission of the porter of the Department of Church Music to be allowed entrance to the church. (I did manage to enter the church because there was a recital and the photos I took are in the latter part of this presentation).

This is the entrance to the Music University today.

The building that housed both the church and the convent of St. Ursula as seen from the front near a road intersection.

EIGHT STOP:

THE IRON PEAR BAKERY (BACKEREI ZUR EISERNEN BIRNE)

Along Johannesgasse and Seilerstatte

Opposite the building that housed the church and convent of St. Ursula is the building where St. Clement worked as a journeyman for Master Baker Weyring who might have leased the place from Sebastian Stadt who later became his son-in-law.

These two doors today lead to apartments in this building. Here St. Clement sought shelter during the fierce bombardment of Vienna by the Napoleonic artillery on 11-12 May 1809.

NINTH STOP:

APARTMENT HOUSE OF THE URSULINES

(WOHNHAUS DER URSULINEN)

Along Seilerstatte and Fichtegasse

On this site was a building where the Ursulines owned an apartment house, which is quite near their convent. It was then a three-storey apartment which was quite old and neglected. St. Clement moved here on 18 July 1813.

(Backtrack to the building that housed the convent and church of St. Ursula):

Today there is a plaque on the wall of this building. This plaque commemorates the last station of St. Clement's pastoral ministries. This plaque was unveiled on 18 September 1910 and is the work of the sculptor Franz Seifert.

The plaque as seen at the top level of a wall of the building.

Another view of the plaque which can be seen by the side of the window (rightmost) of the first floor.

Again a historical marker on this building.

The plaque as seen just below where it was attached.

This is part of the building that once was the site of the apartment house of the Ursulines where St. Clement lived for a while. Today it houses the embassy of Albania and the EU office of Romania as can be seen in the fluttering flags.

On the ground floor of this building is a Mediterranean and Asian restaurant.

In the three-storey apartment which stood here once before this building was constructed was where St. Clement lived. He also died here on 15 March 1820.

The apartment had a large room that served as reception room, study, dining room and bedroom. But it was also the chapel and used for pastoral counselling. Sometimes it was also the assembly room of a number of personalities connected to the Romantic School. Young people also came to meet St. Clement here as he attracted them like a magnet.

TENTH STOP: ST. ANNE'S CHURCH AND NORMAL SCHOOL

(ST. ANNA-KRICHE AND NORMALSCHULE)

Along Annagasse

In this place, St. Clement and his friend Hubl attended a course after they were professed and ordained to the priesthood. The course included lectures in pedagogy and catechetics as well as practical exercises.

A kind of a teacher training school was also established here by Empress Maria Theresa. This building served various purposes through the years: as convent of the Poor Clares and the Jesuits, then as art school, an exhibition hall and as school. Today it is a monastery of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales.

To have an understanding of how Vienna developed into an important site of the rise of the Romantic School, I had an exposure to its museums, art galleires, public monuments and the like, as well as what constitutes the magic of this city.
I visited its old and modern art museums and enjoyed the paintings of Gustav Klimt and Ego Schille.

There is the Holocaust memorial in front the Jewish synagogue

(Vienna was one of the sites where Nazism arose).

The old imperial buildings that go back to the Emperors of old.

Some of the archaeological ruins dugged up show that the Romans built infrastructure in this city as early as the 5th century.

(BACK TO THE CHURCH OF ST. URSULA)

This is the interior of the church of St. Ursula where there are many items that connect to St. Clement. A side altar shows St. Clement in front of Our Lady and in the background there is a romatic view of Vienna from the first half of the 19th century.

A close-up photo of the painting.

This is the pulpit that St. Clement used to preach his famous sermons.

The main altar of the church.

The pipe organ which is still being used by the students.

To the left of this photo one can see the Pieta. Earlier, here on this spot was a confessional used by St. Clement which has been transferred to Maria am Gestade church.

View from the pulpit.

The people here came for a

students' recital.

A side altar in the church.

Close-up of the painting with St. Clement and Mary with child.

The letters are on the ceiling of the roof of the pulpit.

ELEVENTH STOP:

MECHITARIST CHURCH AND MONASTERY

(MECHITARISTENKIRCHE U KLOSTER)

Mechitaristengasse and Ecke Neustiftgasse

This church and monastery belong to the Mechitarists, an Armenian-Catholic Order founded in Constantinople in 1701. They came to Vienna in 1810 in search of asylum after the Napoleonic wars. On this site the Capuchins built a monastery in 1600 which was burned down in 1835 but rebuilt in 1837. the present church was built from 1871 to 1874. The church is located a little far from the center of Vienna.

I could not enter the church as it was not the time for services. I could only see the inside through a glass door. St. Clement came to visit the Mechitarists as he thought of them highly. He also came to pray in this church in front of a painting - Maria Rosa Mystica (Our Lady shows her child a rose).

A notice on the front door of the church indicates the time of the services.

Beside the church is an Asian restaurant.

The road where this church is located.

As I walked through the streets of Vienna in early spring, I could appreciate the bloomng of the daffodils even as the branches of the trees remain bare.

(CONTINUED WITH PART III)

IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF ST. CLEMENT IN VIENNA - PART III

2007-04-26T02:20:00.000-07:00

TWELFTH STOP:
CHURCH OF THE FRANCISCANS MINOR
At Minoritenplatz.

The Church of the Franciscans Minor has a very interesting facade with the tower at the very center of the architectural design. Adjoining this church is a two-room apartment where St. Clement and Bro. Stark were provided accomodation by Freiherr von Penkler, the priest assigned here at that time. They stayed here from 1808 to 1813.

The entrance to the church. In this church, St. Clement said his last Mass on 9 March 1820, a requiem Mass for his benefactress Princess Therese Jablonowka who had earlier died in Rome.

A memorial to St. Clement was set up outside the church.
This memorial was unveiled on 21 September 1913 during an open-air Mass celebrated by Archbishop Piffl. It was sculpted from marble by the sculptor Virgil Rainer.

This photo shows where the memorial is located in reference to the church. It is actually at the side of the church although it is clearly visible as one approaches the church.

Since the time of Joseph II, the church has been the National Church of the Italian community in Vienna.

The church's entrance.

There are a few very striking features inside the church.

First is the pulpit, which has the design of the era in which

it was made.

There is also a mosaic of the Last Supper copied after the

painting of Leonardo da Vinci, except that it is made up

of tens of thousands of small pieces of tiles.

Near the pulpit is a fresco depicting St. Francis of Assisi,

dating back to the 15th or 16th centuries.

There are also very impressive stained glass windows.

Close-up of the mosaic of the Last Supper.

On the wall outside of the church is again a historical

marker.

Also outside is a sculpture of
St. Francis that casts a

shadow on the wall.

THIRTEENTH STOP:

CHURCH ON THE COURT (KIRCHE AM HOF)

At the Platz Am Hof

It was in this church that St. Clement married the lawyer Dr. Franz Karl Wagner to Therese Edle von Neubauer on 26 July 1819. The fathers of this young couple belonged to the Hofbauer Circle.

This church was the scene of significant historical events. From 1386 to 1403, there was a Carmelite church that was built here. In 1554, the Jesuits took over the church and were incharge of it until they were dissolved by Pope Clement XIV.
Again a historical marker. On 31 March 1782 Pope Pius VI gave the urbi et orbi blessing from the loggia of the church. In 1783, the church was made a parish church. On 6 August 1806, the end of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (with the renunciation of the German Imperial Crown by Franz II) was announced from the loggia of this church.

In front of the Church on the Court

is a plaza with an interesting monument.

A flea market was being set up

while I visited this site.

The interior of the Church on the Court with the main altar and the pulpit.

An art improvisation was set up near the altar as part

of the Lenten celebration.

The main altar with a large

painting of the Mother and Child.

FOURTENTH STOP

STANDARD BEARER'S HOUSE (FAHNRICHHOF)
Along SingerstraBe

This is the road along which this house was located.

The von Maul family lived here including Maria Elisabeth,

Maria Anna and Therese whom St. Clement met at St. Stephen's cathedral leading to their being his patron for his studies. For a while, St. Clement also lived here.

This door led to the building complex that was made up of several houses in Blutgasse and in SingerstraBe. In the large courtyard, one of the four associations of citizens would assemble, hence the name. In 1965, the renovation was completed and the houses are now private apartments and artists' studios.

RETURN TO MARIA AM GESTADE

Inside the church is the shrine to St. Clement located a a side chapel. There one sees a statue of St. Clement as he was laid to rest. This lifesize statue - made by the sculptor Joseph Gasser - was the original cover of the elevated sepulchre in the church. To make this statue more accessible to visitors, it was put up in an upright position in the new chapel. The pillow under the head and the fact that the legs are crossed indicate the original use.

The altar - sculpted by Oskar Jofiner - at the St. Clement shrine-chapel. the round altar with the reliquary inside was made in 1986 when the church was renovated.
The pedestal depicts the symbols of the four evangelists (man, eagle, lion and bull). The wings support the altar-top. All these symbolize St. Clement's motto: The Gospel must be preached anew.

Inside the church is the icon of the

Mother of Perpetual Help, also a

favorite spot for

churchgoers, visitors and pilgrims.

The main altar of the church.

FIFTENTH STOP

ST. MARY'S CHURCH IN HEARNALS (MARIENKIRCHE)

Along Wichtelgasse

This is a Redemptorist foundation orginally meant to be a church dedicated to St. Clement. The foundation stone was laid in 1886. However, since the building was completed (April 1889) before St. Clement was canonized, it was consecrated to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. It was made a parish in 1937.

Across the church is a building that houses offices and service centers attached to the parish.

This is the chapel of the community inside the monastery adjacent to the church.

The back of the monastery.

A sign in this park indicates that this square is called the Klemens Hofbauer Platz. Also on the grounds there is the Klemenshaus, a center devoted to the social ministries of the parish.

At the side altars inside the church there are statues and icons of various Redemptorist saints.

There is also the St. Clement's altar where a lifesize statue of the saint is depicting him as priest and preacher.

SIXTEENTH STOP

CEMETERY OF THE ROMANTICS (ROMANTIKERFRIEDHOF)

At Maria Enzersdorf

This cemetery was laid out in 1784 near the pilgrimage church of Maria Enzersdorf which was originally in the midst of vineyards.

There is a chapel near the graveyard where St. Clement was buried. On the side of the chapel's entrance one reads about St. Clement.

The grounds of the cemetery was donated by Freiherr von Penkler who also provided St. Clement with his first accomodation with the Franciscans Minor and was a great patron of the Romantic School.

St. Clement wanted to be buried here becuase his beloved model, Jesuit priest Fr. Diessbach, was also buried here.

Many of St. Clement's friends among them the families of Friedrich von Klinkowstrom, Josef von Pilat and Adam Muller lie buried nearby.

St. Clement's grave has been preserved but his mortal remains rested here only until 1862 (for 42 years) since these have been transferred to Maria am Gestade.

Here ends this presentation - IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF ST. CLEMENT IN VIENNA.

A rare privilege it is, indeed, to have

been a pilgrim following such

footsteps.
