Master, the Tempest is Raging (Peace! Be Still) / by Mary A. Baker Master, the tempest is raging! / The billows are tossing high! / The sky is o?ershadowed with blackness / No shelter or help is nigh / Carest Thou not that we perish? / How canst Thou lie asleep / When each moment so madly is threatening / A grave in the angry deep? Master, with anguish of spirit / I bow in my grief today / The depths of my sad heart are troubled / Oh, waken and save, I pray! / Torrents of sin and of anguish / Sweep o?er my sinking soul / And I perish! I perish! dear Master / Oh, hasten, and take control Master, the terror is over / The elements sweetly rest / Earth?s sun in the calm lake is mirrored / And heaven?s within my breast / Linger, O blessed Redeemer! / Leave me alone no more / And with joy I shall make the blest harbor / And rest on the blissful shore The winds and the waves obey Thy will / Peace, be still! / Whether the wrath of the storm tossed sea / Or demons or men, or whatever it be / No waters can swallow the ship where lies / The Master of ocean, and earth, and skies / They all shall sweetly obey Thy will / Peace, be still! Peace, be still! / They all shall sweetly obey Thy will / Peace, peace, be still!

We had been shooting since 6.30am after racing into the city to capture the fog. We started at the Royal Botanic Gardens and slowly made our way around to Bennelong Point. The morning was crisp, bright, quiet, still, and the light was sensational. At the Opera House the cleaning crews were at silent, diligent work. One of several working on the steps, this young lady was not in a hurry and indeed was quite intent on her task. I had plenty of time to compose the shot and she was not even aware of my presence.

Lithuania, Vilnius MORE ABOUT THE CHURCH / CLICK PHOTO St. Peter and St. Paul’s Church in Vilnius (Lithuanian: Šv. apaštalų Petro ir Povilo bažnyčia) is a Roman Catholic church located in the Antakalnis neighbourhood of the city. Its interior, has masterful compositions of stucco mouldings by Giovanni Pietro Perti and ornamentation by Giovanni Maria Galli1 of Milan, and is considered a Lithuanian Baroque masterpiece. The church is a basilica built on a traditional cross plan with a lantern dome allowing extra light into its white interior. The freestanding columns of the main facade were used for the first time in Lithuanian ecclesiastical architecture. The inscription surrounding the base of the dome (Tu es Petrus et supra hanc petram edificabo ecclesiam meam et portae inferi non praevale buntadversus eam) is the same as that of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican. The church is decorated with over 2000 religious depictions. The frescos are attributed to Johann Gotthard Berchhoff.[citation needed]. The female heads opposite the St. Augustine Chapel represent two sister nations: Poland and Lithuania. / [edit]History Interior of the church with the main altar and the lantern in the roof dome / It is believed that the first wooden church was built on this location after Jogaila’s conversion. It was rebuilt at the end of 15th century, but was destroyed by a fire in 1594. Another wooden church was built between 1609-1616, but it also was destroyed during the wars with Russia in 1655-1661. / The construction of the new church was paid for by the Great Lithuanian Hetman Michał Kazimierz Pac in celebration of the victory against the Russians and the suppression of Lubomirski’s Rokosz. The Latin inscription on the main façade REGINA PACIS FUNDA NOS IN PACE (Queen of Peace, protect us in peace) corresponds with the intention, as well as with the founder’s name Pac. Pac demanded to be buried beneath the doorstep of the main entrance with the inscription “Hic Jacet Pecator” (here lies a sinner) on his tombstone, which was parted by the lightning and was set in the wall, right of the main portal. A large Turkish war drum (timpano) is on display in the church. It was taken from the Ottomans in the Battle of Khotyn of 11 November 1673, won by the Commonwealth forces, and granted to the church by Michał Kazimierz Pac. / The construction works of the present church started in 1668 under the supervision of Jan Zaor from Kraków and finished in 1676 by Giambattista Frediani. The decoration works were unfortunately terminated in 1684 due to the founder’s death in 1682, which prevented creating the main altar according to the original design. The decoration works were finally completed only in 1704. / The main altar, smaller than planned, was built in the beginning of 19th century by Giovanni Beretti and Nicolae Piano from Milan. It is dominated by the Farewell of St. Peter and St. Paul, a large drawing by Franciszek Smuglewicz, installed there in 1805.

Columned Pasage – St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, Rome / MCN: CSRTQ-DTJMS-TWP6A Texture overlay courtesy of SkeletalMess It is thanks to Peter, the first Apostle and the first pope and leader of the Church that the most important basilica in the Christian world, the St. Peter’s Basilica, was built in Rome. Peter was given his name by Jesus because he was destined to be the foundation “stone” (in Italian “Pietra”) on which the church would be built. He was certainly one of the most enterprising of the Apostles to say the least. He was imprisoned, and then miraculously released, following which he left Jerusalem and headed for Rome, the “Capital of the World”, which was the centre of the immense Roman Empire at that time. Here he became bishop and then reigned as the first pope for 25 years. During the fierce persecution of Nero, he was imprisoned with millions of other condemned Christians and died by crucifixion sometime between 64 and 67 AD on the Vatican Hills in the Neronian circle. Rumour has it that he wanted to be put on the cross head-down as he did not feel he was worthy of being crucified in the same manner as Jesus. Among the other tales about Peter is the one that says while he was on the road to his place of execution, or possibly when he ran away from Rome to flee his death, he met Jesus and he posed the fateful question “Domine, quo vadis?” to his Lord and decided to return. It was here in the gigantic complex of the Neronian circle with its palaces, temples and gardens that the execution and burial of one of the most important Apostles of Christ took place. A long veneration of this sacred place soon began, so much so that while the grandiose Roman buildings fell to ruin, a Christian necropolis was built and successively, in the 4th century, Emperor Constantine decided to erect the first basilica in honour of the Saint.
