We believe in faith

I like the afternoon, this time.
Outside the window is a magnolia tree that does not distinguish between the four seasons, and all the light and shadow that fall through the wind is on our floor.
The sun is very bright, but you can look directly at it.
It feels like Bergman gave me.
Solemn and stoic, but can be close.
I often read to myself when my heart is cold, the light of winter.
Maybe it will be the only equipment I have to spend this winter alone.
That's the woman with him, I guess.
She looks directly into the camera, like looking directly at you or herself.
She said, we just lack love.
I wondered if she also had a slight sorrow for a certain relationship at that time.
someone.
The priest, who played the piano and led the hymn, peeked at his pocket watch.
Another grand ceremony of faith is over.
What is strange is that no matter how the final protagonist rebels against faith, salvation and religion,
they are still in the fog of fierce religious sentiment.
He rubbed his fingers hard, frightened by his doubts.
The wind is blowing,
and the flapping of leaves and wind makes a rich sound.
I suddenly thought, in cold weather, tears should lose heat.
Waiting for a beam of light, until people have the illusion of a different place in the body.
I have already begun to miss this winter that has not yet arrived.

Winter Light quotes

  • Algot Frövik, Sexton: The passion of Christ, his suffering... Wouldn't you say the focus on his suffering is all wrong?

    Tomas Ericsson, Pastor: What do you mean?

    Algot Frövik, Sexton: This emphasis on physical pain. It couldn't have been all that bad. It may sound presumptuous of me - but in my humble way, I've suffered as much physical pain as Jesus. And his torments were rather brief. Lasting some four hours, I gather? I feel that he was tormented far worse on an other level. Maybe I've got it all wrong. But just think of Gethsemane, Vicar. Christ's disciples fell asleep. They hadn't understood the meaning of the last supper, or anything. And when the servants of the law appeared, they ran away. And Peter denied him. Christ had known his disciples for three years. They'd lived together day in and day out - but they never grasped what he meant. They abandoned him, to the last man. And he was left alone. That must have been painful. Realizing that no one understands. To be abandoned when you need someone to rely on - that must be excruciatingly painful. But the worse was yet to come. When Jesus was nailed to the cross - and hung there in torment - he cried out - "God, my God!" "Why hast thou forsaken me?" He cried out as loud as he could. He thought that his heavenly father had abandoned him. He believed everything he'd ever preached was a lie. The moments before he died, Christ was seized by doubt. Surely that must have been his greatest hardship? God's silence.

    Tomas Ericsson, Pastor: Yes...

  • Märta Lundberg, Schoolteacher: God, why have you created me so eternally dissatisfied? So frightened, so bitter? Why must I realize how wretched I am? Why must I suffer so hellishly for my insignificance? If there is a purpose to my suffering, then tell me, so I can bear my pain without complaint. I'm strong. You made me so very strong in both body and soul, but you never give me a task worthy of my strength. Give my life meaning, and I'll be your obedient slave.
