In view of the wayside cross standing here, painted red (since it bears the body of Christ, it is technically a crucifix), I would like to offer a meditative thought to the viewer lingering at this spot. The last words of Jesus at his crucifixion, "It is finished" (John 19:30), as recorded in the biblical writings of the Evangelist John in his version of the 'Good News' (this is the meaning of the word 'Gospel'), are commented on by the Evangelical Lutheran pastor Dr. Theo Lehmann, in a publication by the Neukirchen Calendar Publishing House, writes: "Regarding this saying of Jesus, which in Greek is actually just a single word (...). The mission of the heavenly Father, the life's work of Jesus [Christ], is the redemption of humanity. This mission is accomplished—completely, definitively, and valid for all people of all times. We need do nothing for our salvation, and we can do nothing for it. Jesus has done everything. It is finished!" (Source: T. Lehmann in "God's Word for Every Day")

A beautiful church, rebuilt after the World Wars as a peace project. The square around the church is also inviting for strolling and relaxing. We enjoyed our time here.

To the pilgrims lingering before this small sacred monument, with its special dedication as a "Cross of Peace"—what more could the world need in these times?—I would like to offer Pope Leo XIV's welcoming words as a small, personal encouragement to peace. Immediately after his election, before bestowing the traditional blessing "urbi et orbi" (to the city and the world) upon the waiting faithful, he addressed the people gathered in St. Peter's Square, as well as those participating via radio, television, and online media, with these moving words: + "Peace be with you all! Dear brothers and sisters, this is the first greeting of the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd... I too hope that this greeting of peace will enter your hearts, reach your families, all people, wherever they are, all nations, the whole earth. Peace be with you!" This is the peace of the risen Christ, an unarmed and disarming peace, humble and persevering. It comes from God, the God who loves us all unconditionally." (Robert Francis Prevost / Pope Leo XIV)

Vöröskereszt: a beautiful place to rest (just like the pilgrims of bygone times); many sights can be reached from here.

“Behold, the Heart of the Redeemer—an understandable sign of his indomitable love and an inexhaustible source of true peace. In him ‘all the fullness of God truly dwells’ (Col 2:9). The peace that Christ brought to earth comes precisely from this fullness and this love. It is the gift of a loving God, who loved humanity in the heart of his only begotten Son. ‘He is our peace’ (cf. Phil 2:14)—cry Saint Paul. Yes, Jesus is peace, he is our reconciliation. (…) As we venerate his Sacred Heart today, we pray earnestly for peace: first, for peace in our hearts, but also for peace in our families, in our country, and throughout the world: Heart of Jesus, our peace and our reconciliation, have mercy on us!” (Address of Pope John Paul II on June 7, 1999, in Toruń, Poland)

Is a former Cistercian abbey.

A historically atmospheric place; a visit is recommended.

In autumn 2025, the church will be scaffolded and cannot be visited.
