Knut Idland - Palmesøndag
Est-il encore nécessaire de présenter Luc Dardenne? Avec son frère Jean-Pierre, ils se lancent d'abord dans le documentaire, fondant leur propre structure, puis s'essaient à la fiction avec une adaptation théâtrale notamment, avant de trouver leur cinéma avec "La Promesse", présenté à la Quinzaine des Réalisateurs de Cannes en 1995. C'est le début d'une grande histoire avec le Festival, où les 10 films suivants des frères seront présentés en Compétition, remportant 9 prix, dont deux Palmes d'or, pour "Rosetta" et "L'Enfant". Luc Dardenne aime la solitude de l'écriture, une pratique quotidienne pour lui. Parallèlement aux scénarios de ses films, il écrit en 2012 un essai philosophique, "Sur l'affaire humaine", dont il rédige actuellement la suite, et publie aux éditions du Seuil "Au dos de nos images", 3 tomes passionnants consacrés à ses notes de travail. Alors que son dernier film, "Jeunes mères", Prix du Scénario à Cannes, est actuellement en salles, Luc Dardenne s'est prêté pour nous au jeux des Rituels. Avec ce podcast, créé pour Cinevox, j'ai voulu interroger les auteurs et les autrices du cinéma belge sur la façon dont ils et elles écrivent. Avec Luc Dardenne, on a parlé de début et de fin, de personnages plutôt que de sujets, de post-it et de musique, de refaire et d'élaguer, des échecs et des succès, et puis on s'est souvenu de Rosetta, du fils, du gamin au vélo, de la promesse ou de Lorna. Le temps d'un coup de fil à l'ancienne, sans video, sans caméra, il revient pour nous sur la place que l'écriture prend dans sa vie et dans son quotidien.

Bevisen mot Stig Engström prövas i en iscensatt rättegång. Erfarna kriminalkommissarien Bosse Åström saknar förhör med Skandiamannen som misstänkt. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Klockan är 23.19 när Stig Engström stämplar sitt stämpelkort och går mot dörrarna på sin arbetsplats Skandia i centrala Stockholm. Det är den 28 februari 1986 och två minuter senare ska Sveriges statsminister Olof Palme bli skjuten.Skandiamannens egna ord på band– Jag förstod av blodet att det hade varit ett skott, säger Stig Engström, även kallad Skandiamannen, i det första polisförhöret.Tidigare kriminalkommissarien Bosse Åström minns att han morgonen efter skrek rakt ut när han såg nyheten på tv.– Där stod folk och sörjde och kastade in rosor på brottsplatsen, säger Bosse Åström.Över 30 år senare, på en presskonferens 2020, läggs polisutredningen ned. Åklagaren misstänker Stig Engström, men kan varken åtala eller förhöra honom då han är död.Mock trialUtpekandet av en man som inte kan försvara sig möts av kritik. Juridiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet bestämmer sig för att iscensätta en rättegång i maj 2025, för att pröva bevisen mot Stig Engström.Men Bosse är skeptisk, då Stig Engström bara är förhörd som vittne och aldrig som en misstänkt.– Jag tror och jag hoppas verkligen att han hade tyckt att det här var bra och att han hade känt att han fick lite upprättelse, säger Lena Wahlberg, docent i juridik vid Lunds universitet.I det här avsnittet av Brottsutredarna kommenterar Bosse Åström, en av Sveriges främsta utredare av grova brott, bevisningen i en av världens största polisutredningar. Och reporter Sigrid Edsenius bevakar den iscensatta rättegången mot Stig Engström, som arrangerades på Lunds universitet i maj 2025.Producent: Steffen RenklintSlutmix: Jessica Klingsell

Her er talen fra Storsamling Palmesøndag 2025
Højtiderne skulle egentlig give tid til fordybelse og indre ro, men temperamenterne har i den grad været i kog i vores helt egen Superliga. Palmesøndag 2025 vil for eksempel blive husket som dagen, hvor både røde kort og skaller fløj rundt i Parken efter den storkøbenhavnske Derby. Men hvem er egentlig Superligaens største hidsigprop lige nu? Det spørgsmål forsøger Fodboldlisten at give svaret på i denne uge. Andreas Kraul sætter en top 11 og kommer både omkring dommere, en hel trænerbænk og ikke mindst en for mange måske overraskende førsteplads. Opponent i studiet er i denne uge meget oplagt: nemlig Arnela Muminovic, der med sine rødder på Balkan selv mener at vide en ting eller to om temperament. Og selv om det kun er nuværende aktører, så er der stadig plads til hædrende omtale til alt fra Gravesen, Tøfting, Kenneth Emil og et meget hurtigt rødt kort i Parken engang. Vært: Thomas Loft
Når Maria tømmer ut den dyrebare nardussalven ved Jesu føtter, “fylles hele huset” av duften. På samme er påskens budskap at duften av evig liv fyller hele kosmos - når Jesu liv tømmes ut på Golgata. Nøkkelvers: Johannes 12: 1-13
Denne søndag fejrer vi Palmesøndag hvor vi markerer begyndelsen på påskeugen og er en festdag, hvor vi mindes og ærer Jesus som konge – ikke blot over mennesker, men over hele skabningen. Hvor vi sammen dykker ned i temaet: Tilbage til naturen. Prædiken d. 13.04.25 ved Mads Peter Kruse

Prædiken fra gudstjeneste i Broen d. 13. april 2025Prædikant: Peter Jerup-ThiseTekst: Matthæusevangeliet kap. 21,1-9–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Studiemateriale til prædikenen Materialet er skrevet til brug i cellegrupper, men kan også bruges som personlig refleksion, eller sammen med en mikromakker, eller ægtefælle. START MED BØN (5 MIN)Lad en person lede en bøn og bed Helligånden om at lede, og guide jer i jeres tid sammen.CHECK-IN (15 - 20 MIN)Hvis I er en gruppe på mere end seks personer, kan det være en idé at opdele jer i grupper af tre, så der bliver bedre tid og rum for alle. Har I ikke startet aftenen med at spise sammen, kan det være en god idé at lande lidt først. Del kort med hinanden, hvad I hver især ankommer med: hvad fylder I dag – godt, skidt, arbejde, familieliv?Hjælp hinanden med at holde tiden. I kan evt. sætte en timer. TAL OM PRÆDIKENEN1 Læs teksten til prædikenen sammen: Matthæusevangeliet kap. 21,1-92 Har du hørt prædikenen? Hvad lagde du særligt mærke til?3 Hvornår har jeg sidst oplevet, at Gud kaldte mig til noget, som ikke helt gav mening – og hvordan reagerede jeg?– Hvad fik mig til at tøve eller adlyde?4 Hvilke forventninger har jeg til, hvordan Jesus bør handle i mit liv – og tør jeg give slip på dem, hvis hans vej ser anderledes ud?– Er jeg mest som disciplene eller som mængden i Jerusalem?5 Er der et "æsel", Jesus beder mig hente – en konkret handling i hverdagen, hvor han kalder på min lydighed og tillid?– Noget småt, men vigtigt?6 Hvad kunne det betyde for mig at "lægge min kappe ned" for Jesus?– Er der noget, jeg skal give slip på, for at han kan bruge mig?7 Hvordan kan jeg i den kommende uge vælge at følge Jesus som fredskongen – ikke med begejstring i munden, men med overgivelse i hjertet?– Hvor kan jeg bringe hans fred ind i andres liv?8 Er der nogle “næste skridt”, der skal sættes ind i kalenderen for dig, eller for jer som gruppe? Hvilke skridt kan du tage for at stole på Guds løfter, selv når du ikke forstår dine omstændigheder?BØN (10 MIN)Bed for jer selv og for hinanden, og bed ind i de ting, I har delt med hinanden. AFSLUTNINGOplever du, at Gud minder dig om noget nu, som du har lyst til at dele? Det kan både være til dig selv og til andre i fællesskabet. Husk, at Gud bruger os som fællesskab til at opmuntre hinanden i tro.

2025-04-13 - Palmesøndag fejring, Indtoget i Jerusalem, Matt. 21,1-11, v. Simon Ambrosen by
Raised in the Judería or Jewish quarter of Tetouan, Morocco, at the turn of the 20th-century, sixteen-year-old Mazaltob finds herself betrothed to José, an uncouth man from her own community who has returned from Argentina to take a wife. Mazaltob, however, is in love with Jean, who is French, half-Jewish, and a free spirit. In this classic of North African Jewish fiction, Blanche Bendahan evokes the two compelling forces tearing Mazaltob apart in her body and soul: her loyalty to the Judería and her powerful desire to follow her own voice and find true love. Bendahan's nuanced and moving novel is a masterly exploration of the language, religion, and quotidian customs constraining North African Jewish women on the cusp of emancipation and decolonization. Yaëlle Azagury and Frances Malino provide the first English translation of this modern coming-of-age tale, awarded a prize by the Académie Française in 1930, and analyze the ways in which Mazaltob, with its disconcerting blend of ethnographic details and modernist experimentation, is the first of its genre—that of the feminist Sephardi novel. A historical introduction, a literary analysis, and annotations elucidate historical and cultural terms for readers, supplementing the author's original notes. Blanche Bendahan was born in Oran, Algeria on November 26, 1893, to a Jewish family of Moroccan-Spanish origin. Bendahan published her first collection of poetry, La voile sur l'eau, in 1926 and then her first novel, Mazaltob, in 1930. Yaëlle Azagury is a writer, literary scholar, and critic. She was Lecturer in French and Francophone Studies at Barnard College, and Lecturer in Discipline in the English and Comparative Literature Department at Columbia University. She is a native of Tangier, Morocco. Frances Malino is the Sophia Moses Robison Professor of Jewish Studies and History Emerita at Wellesley College. Her current project is titled Teaching Freedom: Jewish Sisters in Muslim Lands. In 2012 she was named Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Palmes académiques by the French Ministry of Education. Azagury and Malino were finalists of the 74th National Jewish Book Awards in the category of Sephardic Culture.
