Fifth Decade: The Crucifixion

The Crucifixion
Giotto di Bondone (1304-1306)
fresco, Large: approximately 6.5 feet high by 6 feet wide
Currently located in Cappella Scrovegni (Arena Chapel), Padua, Italy
Picture
Let's just take this in. Take a deep breath in, nice and slow; breathe it out, nice and slow. Move your eyes over the painting. What do you see?

Giotto's painting is divided into three distinct scenes with Jesus on the Cross in the center.
How many angels do you see? Three of them have work similar to the work we saw angels doing in Huguet's painting that showed Jesus' scourging. You can look back at that if you want. What is the work that they are doing? They are holding vessels collecting the Precious Blood of Our Redeemer. ​
Picture
Picture
The woman who is kneeling at the foot of the Cross and gently touching Jesus' wounded foot is St. Mary of Bethany. In the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 7, Verses 36-40, we hear about a woman who washes Jesus' sacred feet and dries them with her hair. St. Luke never tells us the name of the woman, but St. John tells us it was Mary of Bethany, who is the sister of Lazarus and Martha (John 11: 2). 

​John also states that St. Mary Magdalen was at the foot of the cross (John 19: 25). We're not exactly sure which Mary this painting shows.
On the left side of the painting, you see four saints. We know they are saints because of their halos. You already know one is one of the Marys. Two more are St. John the Apostle and St. Mary of Cleophas (John 19: 25-27). 

​Our Lady, in the blue robe, is being consoled by St. John. The Blessed Virgin is obviously upset, but she knew that it was for this very reason that her Son came into the world. Seeing her Son suffer so much pain, and knowing that He had suffered even more before the crucifixion, she stood quietly through it all, another act of complete and perfect submission to the Will of God.
Picture
Picture
To the right, the soldiers are arguing over who will win the prize of Our Lord's garment.

Jesus' cloak looks fancy, doesn't it? We know that Jesus didn't wear something so fancy. This is a symbol; Giotto painted the garment to look like a priest's vestment to show that Jesus is the High Priest.

Did you notice there is one soldier with a halo? This man is St. Longinus. He was the Roman centurion who instantly became a believer that Jesus is the Son of God. When St. Longinus used his spear to pierce our Savior's side, he exclaimed, 
“Truly this man was the Son of God!” (Mark 15: 39)
Let's stop for a minute and use our eyes to re-trace our study. We started with the angels, then we looked at Jesus' feet and St. Mary Magdalen, then we looked at the Blessed Virgin Mary and the saints with her, then we looked at Jesus' garment and the soldiers who are arguing. The complete image is below. Look at it one more time, paying attention to the shape your eyes are making: angels, feet, Virgin, soldiers. What shape did your eyes make? Isn't the artist Giotto clever? He helped you pray while you looked at this painting of a holy scene.
Picture
Who saw the skull under the rock beneath the crucifix? ​The skull is symbolic of a couple of things. First, Our Lord was crucified on a hill called Golgotha; translated into English, Golgotha means Place of the Skull (Matthew 27: 33). Second, ancient tradition holds that Jesus was crucified directedly over the burial place of Adam, the first man, so the skull is Adam's. Do you remember what we learned when we studied the Agony in the Garden? I wrote, "It was in a garden where man first sinned and cut himself off from God and His grace. It was in a garden where Jesus made up for what Adam and Eve had done." Here again, God's Providence caused the act of man's Redemption to take place over the burial place and body of the first man who sinned.
Picture

First Sorrowful Mystery: Agony in the Garden
Second Sorrowful Mystery: The Scourging
Third Sorrowful Mystery: The Crowning of Thorns
Fourth Sorrowful Mystery: The Carrying of the Cross

Now, with The Crucifixion in our imagination, let us pray.

For families with very young children, or for families new to the Rosary, simplify by only praying the Sign of the Cross, the Lord's Prayer, and the Hail Mary. These prayers are inside the front and back covers of your child's workbook. Follow the graphic:
Picture
For families ready to push it forward, add in one new prayer each week until you have a complete decade. Follow the outline:
Hold the Crucifix in your right hand. Make the Sign of the Cross properly, using the right hand only.

Still holding the Crucifix, state what you believe as a Catholic by saying the Creed.

Move to the first bead. Pray one Our Father.

Move to the next beads. Pray the Hail Mary three times, once on each bead.

Move to the next bead and pray one Glory Be.

Stay on the same bead. Announce the Mystery by saying these words: The Fifth Sorrowful Mystery, The Crucifixion. For three hours our dear Lord hung on the cross. He was taking on Himself the punishment for our sins. After some time, He knew that God had forgiven our sins. Once more, we had the right to enter Heaven. So He dropped His head and died. ​God, His Father, allowed this punishment. We praise and thank Jesus and God our heavenly Father for the glorious victory the Christ gained for us through His death and resurrection: Father, although this glorious triumph was completed more than 2000 years ago, it is still as potent and powerful in the lives of believers today as it was when the angels declared, "He is not here - He is risen." Keep me ever looking to Jesus, knowing that this glorious victory has not lost any of its ancient power, but is the single means of overcoming the world, the flesh and the devil. I pray that I will run the race that is set before me looking to Jesus, and that I may finish the course that You have given to me, as I yield through word and deed to the working of the Holy Spirit within. This I ask in Jesus' name, Amen. (Source)
​
Stay on the same bead. Pray one Our Father.

Move through the next ten beads, praying the Hail Mary on each one.

Move to the next bead. Pray one Glory Be.

Stay on the same bead. Pray the Fatima Prayer.

Make the Sign of the Cross using the Crucifix. AMEN!

Lenten Application

Dear holy families,

Through your meditations of the Sorrowful Mysteries over the past five weeks, you have encountered the Passion in the Scriptures several times. On Palm Sunday, we will participate in the Gospel reading that recounts the events of the Passion, Mark 14: 1 through Mark 15: 47.

Starting with Mark 15: 34, we are told that Jesus speaks while He hangs on the Cross. 
I invite you to use this resource to meditate on the Seven Last Words of Christ, words of great meaning that I want you to know. This devotion may be spread out over a week, commemorating one of the Seven Last Words each day (different links are available for each day), or you may pray it as a whole devotion in a single day. As always, you choose what is best for your family, but I encourage you to participate fully.

Please, bless your Lent with prayer and meditation.


​In Christ's Love,
Mary Acevedo, Director of Religious Education

Fourth Decade: The Carrying of the Cross

Le Christ quittant le prétoire (Christ Leaving the Court)
Gustave Doré (1874-1880)
oil on canvas, Very Large: approximately 16 feet high by 23.5 feet wide
Currently located in Museum of Fine Arts, Nantes, France
Picture
There are two figures that really pop out of this scene because they are so bright. Can you point to them? One is a man, the other is a woman. Can you tell me their names?

Read the title of this painting. Do you know what is happening here? I'm sure you remember the story we've been reading the past few weeks: Jesus was in Jerusalem celebrating the Jewish holy day of Passover with His friends. On Holy Thursday, He knew that the time had come to fulfill His purpose. While He was in the Garden of Gethsemane, He was arrested. He was brought to many places and accused of many things; while He was there, He was beaten in many ways.

Pontius Pilate, the Roman authority in the Holy Land, presented Jesus to the crowd and asked them, "Should I free Jesus, or should I free Barabbas?" Barabbas had committed horrible crimes; Jesus committed no crime. It didn't matter to the people in the crowd. They shouted that they wanted Barabbas to be set free.

This painting shows the moment when the soldier broke the crowd apart to make room for Jesus to walk forward to pick up His Cross. 

There are so many people in this crowd. It would take us a long time to count them all! But we could do it if we wanted to. I would count pretty slowly because I would want to look carefully at each person. Can you see how each one is so distinct, so set apart from the rest of the crowd? Each one is his or her own individual, reacting to the judgment of Jesus in his or her own unique way. There's also a lot of moving: running, falling, talking, jostling. Take a minute to just look at the people. Talk about some of the people you see. Who are they? How do you know? What are they doing? Can you see their faces? How do you think all of these people feel?

I see a man holding the cross. How do you know that he's not Jesus? Who is walking with Jesus? How do you know who he is?

The only calm faces in this emotional scene are those of Our Redeemer and His Blessed Mother. This surprises us because they are the ones who are suffering the most here-- they should be the ones crying out, pushing to escape! But they don't because they have complete faith in this work of God. Jesus and Mary look noble, dignified, and perfect.

Do you remember how we talked about Jesus' glow when we studied our Advent art? Jesus is glowing here, too, isn't He? Jesus' body seems unusually long to me. The artist may have chosen to draw Jesus this way to emphasize Jesus' supernatural and divine quality.  

​Let's look at a statue now.
Christ the Redeemer, also known as Christ Carrying the Cross and Risen Christ
Michelangelo (1514-1521)
marble, a little bigger than life-sized: approximately 7 feet tall
Located in the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, Rome, Italy
Picture
I enjoy sculpture even more than I enjoy painting because I find it so amazing that artists can turn a solid slab of hard, cold stone into something that looks lifelike, soft, warm, and human, so I am really excited about sharing this one with you! Look at the hands and fingers, hair, and muscles that the artist Michelangelo was able to carve! It all looks so real! Everything looks so respectful of God's creation!

Two weeks ago I told you about the symbol for St. Mark's Gospel. Do you remember what it is and why? The lion, because it is powerful and noble. Jesus looks powerful, noble, and perfect here. This statue shows Christ carrying the cross, but there is no evidence of the wounds Our Savior suffered at the scourging or crowning. Both Michelangelo and Doré, who painted the work above,
chose to show Jesus without wounds because they wanted to focus on Christ's nobility, dignity, and perfection as well as His perfect sacrificial offering of Himself so that we could be redeemed (or saved) from our sins.

Jesus is not only carrying the Cross in this depiction; He hugs it, reminding us that He was happy to do this for us. How grateful we need to be for that! We must show our gratitude and love by improving ourselves every day and by participating in all of the sacraments of the Church: being baptized into God's family, going to Confession and receiving Communion as often as we can, being confirmed, being married in the Church-- or maybe becoming a deacon, priest, or religious-- and asking for God's healing oils when we are sick or dying.

If you look carefully, you will see a rope wrapped around a staff. The rope indicates that the devil is now bound and under the feet of the risen Christ. The wooden staff that you see the Good Shepherd holding originally had a cloth banner attached to it: Jesus rose from the dead and is the King of the Universe!

Now, with The Carrying of the Cross in our imagination, let us pray.

First Sorrowful Mystery: Agony in the Garden
Second Sorrowful Mystery: Scourging at the Pillar
Third Sorrowful Mystery: The Crowning of Thorns
Fifth Sorrowful Mystery: The Crucifixion
For families with very young children, or for families new to the Rosary, simplify by only praying the Sign of the Cross, the Lord's Prayer, and the Hail Mary. These prayers are inside the front and back covers of your child's workbook. Follow the graphic:

Move to the first bead. Pray one Our Father.

Move to the next beads. Pray the Hail Mary three times, once on each bead.

Move to the next bead and pray one Glory Be.

Stay on the same bead. Announce the Mystery by saying these words: The Fourth Sorrowful Mystery, The Carrying of the Cross. Pilate heard the people cry out, "Crucify Him" so he ordered Jesus to be nailed on a cross. But first, Jesus had to carry His own cross up to Calvary. The cross was very heavy and the wood was splintery, not smooth. The soldiers put it on His shoulder and it rubbed against His already torn flesh. As He walked the streets of Jerusalem, the people laughed and shouted at Him. When He fell, the soldiers made Him get up immediately. Once along the way, He met Mary, His Mother, but she could do nothing to help her dear Son. Veronica ran out of the crowd and wiped His face with her veil. Some good women wept for Him. And Simon of Cyrene helped Him carry the cross a short way. God, His Father, allowed this punishment because He knew how many people commit sins by ignoring their responsibilities. Jesus took on the punishment for our sins so that we have the chance to go to Heaven. We recognize this Sacrifice, and we ask for Jesus' help with battling temptations of complaint and irresponsibility. Jesus, help me to be better at carrying the cross that you have assigned to me, and help me be sensitive to the crosses that those around me must carry.
​
Stay on the same bead. Pray one Our Father.

Stay on the same bead. Pray the Fatima Prayer.

Make the Sign of the Cross using the Crucifix. AMEN!

​Hello Faith-filled Families!

I know that the public schools are on spring break this week. If you aren't going anywhere, it's a nice time to do some crafts to decorate for the Triduum and Easter. Have fun with it, and use this relaxed time together to enjoy some informal catechesis (discussion, praying, etc.) with your kids.

Blessings,
Mary Acevedo, Director of Religious Education

​The Resurrection Garden is an "easy" project incorporating living grass, stones, and wood that will bring some meaningful beauty to your prayer table or your kitchen table. Here is another with a more complex floral design.
Picture
Picture
The Jesus Tree is a project completed slowly over a longer period of time and requires a purchase. It looks similar to the Jesse Tree, which is normally used at Christmas and that traces Salvation History, beginning with Adam and Eve and finishing with St. John the Baptist; both the Jesse Tree and the Jesus Tree consist of an actual paper tree (or real twig) decorated with ornaments that show a symbol of an event. However, the Jesus tree's ornaments show symbols from important events in Jesus' life, starting with the Nativity, through His teaching and miracles, through the Triduum, His Ascension, and Pentecost.
I'm sure everyone's going to the beach over spring break! While you are there, collect tiny shells of all sorts and bring them home. After you've cooled down with two popsicles each (it is spring break!! plus....), rinse the wooden sticks to clean them while the kids are taking their showers. Then make these Florida rustic seashell crosses, one for each child, to hang in their bedrooms over the door, near the bed, or wherever they feel they want it.

If you enjoy baking more than crafting with glue, make these Resurrection Rolls with your kids. The recipe is "easy" and the end product allows you to talk about the empty tomb while you are eating them.

Here is recipe for Resurrection Cookies with a kid-friendly explanation of why each ingredient is needed. There is also a link to several other Lent, Holy Week, and Easter season recipes in the blog.

Third Decade: The Crowning with Thorns

Christ Crowned with Thorns
Anthony van Dyck (1618-1620)
oil on canvas, Large: approximately 7 feet high by 6.5 feet wide
Currently located in the Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain
Picture
Jesus was arrested, then He was questioned over and over by different authorities. A judgment was made: everyone then knew that He would be crucified. Behind the scenes, the torture continued. Do you know where we are now? Here He is, in a prison, being made fun of with a crown of thorns.

This painting is dark, isn't it? I wouldn't be surprised if you needed to step a little closer if you were in the Museum-- or zoom in here on your phone or computer-- to see all the details. But wait. Let's look from a distance first. I see seven people with Jesus. All of them look really worked up. Despite that agitation, the dark colors that the artist Anthony van Dyck uses cause a very quiet pause. We hear nothing, we might feel our souls reaching out, as we reverently look at our exhausted Jesus, Whose Heavenly Father bathes Him in light. That light isn't coming from the window, is it? Look out the window; it's still twilight outside. God is always with Him, and us.

Let's lean in.

Jesus is surrounded by five men. They are probably soldiers who just finished scourging Him. Now they are jeering Him; they are making fun of Him.

Do you remember the Jusepe de Ribera painting called The Adoration of the Shepherds painting that we looked at during Advent? One of the shepherds was genuflecting as he recognized God in the Holy Infant. His hands are held in prayer, and his knees and feet are respectfully placed.

The man who helped torture Jesus is genuflecting in front of Him, too, in the same exact position and the same exact placement on the canvas as that shepherd, but this genuflect is not sincere. He is in bare feet, and one of those dirty soles is shown directly to us. This was a common technique Renaissance and Baroque artists used to show rudeness and disrespect. ​How different their attitudes are! The man makes fun of Jesus while he hands Jesus a pretend scepter before he yells, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
Picture
Picture
Yes, that is a dog. It's barking. It's not threatened by Jesus; it's not barking at Jesus. This dog is upset with what's going on. When we read Scripture, the Gospel writers don't say anything about a dog being in this place at this time. The artist has chosen to include this element to bring to our attention that, even though many humans were completely unaware of Who Jesus was and consumed with evil, the simple creatures and living things in nature as well as the climate and weather were disturbed at the sight of Jesus' suffering. In Matthew 27, we read that the sky became dark (Mt 27: 45), that there was an earthquake (Mt 27:51).​
Picture
Picture





​The hand of the man behind Him (on our left) looks like it's ready to punch Jesus, or maybe it already did.
Look at the man in red (on our right). Look at his hands. What is he feeling? What is he doing? I wonder about him. Do you think that maybe he, for just a moment, recognizes Who Jesus really is? I wonder what that man will do next. You know, even nowadays, lots of people recognize Who Jesus is but then they ignore what they know to be true, turn their backs on Jesus, and commit sins anyway.

How do you feel when you are looking at all of this?
Picture
Picture
o Jesus.... He is so weak from the scourging. Through it must be painful beyond imagination, He does not scream, groan, or even show pain on His Face. He just sits there as the soldier dressed in a suit of black armor places the crown of thorns upon His divine Head. We can see how painful the thorns must be because the soldier is wearing iron and heavy leather gloves rather than using his bare hands to drive the thorns into Christ's Head. 

Soldiers living in the Holy Land during Jesus' lifetime did not wear suits of armor. So why is this soldier wearing something that was invented a thousand years after Good Friday? There are several possibilities why the artist chose to include this anachronism. Sometimes artists include contemporary items to remind us that we are a part of the ancient Christian scene. Sometimes artists include objects that viewers are familiar with to express an abstract idea; here, van Dyck may have wanted to remind us of the constant fight between good (symbolized by the innocent, loving, accepting Jesus) and evil (symbolized by the cold, hard, unyielding armor). The battle axe held by the man behind Jesus is also an anachronism. In religious art the battle axe is used as a symbol of martyrdom.
Picture


​Who is that looking in the window? When all this happened to Jesus, all of the Apostles ran away to hide because they were afraid that they might be crucified, too. All except two ran away, actually. These two people looking in are probably St. Peter and St. John. You can tell by the anxious expression on one face that they must be Jesus' friends. 

Now, with The Crowning with Thorns in our imagination,
let us pray.

Second Sorrowful Mystery: Scourging at the Pillar
Fourth Sorrowful Mystery: The Carrying of the Cross
Fifth Sorrowful Mystery: The Crucifixion

Move to the next bead and pray one Glory Be.

Stay on the same bead. Announce the Mystery by saying these words: The Third Sorrowful Mystery, The Crowning with Thorns. We believe and know that Jesus is the King of Kings, the King of the Universe! On Good Friday, Pilate charged Him with claiming to be "the King of the Jews." The Roman soldiers thought this was funny and made fun of Him by twisting a branch of cruel thorns into a crown. They pushed it into the head of our Savior. It hurt Him terribly. The thorns tore His skin and reached toward His brain. Blood ran down into His eyes.  Then the soldiers put a reed in His hand and threw a dirty cloak over His shoulders, which were already torn from the scourging. They laughed at Him and yelled, "Hail to the King!" God, His Father, allowed this punishment because He knew how many people commit sins with their thoughts. Jesus took on the punishment for our sins so that we have the chance to go to Heaven. We recognize this Sacrifice, and we ask for Jesus' help with battling sinful thoughts: pride, lust, envy, anger. Jesus, help me to become pure and loving. Cleanse my mind. Let my mind focus on praising and worshipping You and You Alone.

Lenten Application

Hello to all families who are walking with me this Lent! ​

Speaking of walking ... What about the Stations of the Cross?

The Stations of the Cross, also known as Via Crucis, Via Dolorosa, and Way of the Cross, is a devotion that began in the 1600s to commemorate the Christ's last day on Earth as a man.
 It mimics the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that many modern-day Catholics walk nowadays. That pilgrimage was reverently mapped under the Emperor Constantine and has been walked by pious Catholics since the earliest times. Catholic Pilgrims stop at 14 places where 14 significant events happened to Jesus on Good Friday while they walk the same path that Jesus walked from the praetorium to Calvary.

Local Catholic parishes have made the Via Dolorosa accessible to their parishioners by creating a path on parish property with 14 stops along the way. While the original Via stops at 14 buildings and gates, parishes ha
ve some form of art depicting each scene from that day. Most churches have plaques, but some have statues or paintings. Participants move from artpiece to artpiece. They stop at each one and say a series of prayers; as they walk to the next artpiece, they sing the "Stabat Mater" hymn (linked below). The stations are most commonly prayed during Lent on Wednesdays and Fridays, and especially on Good Friday, the day of the year upon which the events actually occurred. 

At Holy Family, we have Stations plaques inside the main church, inside the chapel, and outside near the gazebo. You may pray these with our community; times are on the website, and you'll receive a little booklet of prayers on your way in.

Alternatively, you can pray these on your own time with just your family. If you don't have a Stations booklet, you could use these 
Stations of the Cross written for families.

Kids and grown-ups of all ages are able to pray this devotion. I encourage you to be creative and active with your prayers!

​Blessings,
Mary Acevedo, Director of Religious Education

Sing this ancient hymn as you walk between plaques. In this video, it is sung in Latin first followed by English. Lyrics are on the screen, and you only need to choose just one to sing:
