2 Pastor’s Page | Father Mike Van Sloun “As I have done for you, you should also do” –Jn 13:15 The Friar Angelico Cross Th e Artist. Th e cross was painted by Friar Angelico, also known as Fray Angelico de Fiesole. He was born in Mugello, Italy, a small town north of Florence, in 1395. His given name was Guido di Pietro. He joined the Dominican Order, took the religious name Fra Giovanni, and resided at the Convent of San Dominico in Fiesole. He was a man of deep prayer and he expressed his deep faith in his art. He is regarded as one of the greatest Italian painters of the Early Renaissance. His most famous works are Th e Annunciation, Th e Coronation of Mary, Th e Desposition from the Cross, Th e Mocking of Christ, and Th e Adoration of the Magi. A fellow monk who admired his artisanship nicknamed him Fra Angelico, the Angelic Friar. He died in Rome on February 18, 1455, and soon afterward became known as Th e Angelic Painter. Present Location. Th e Friar Angelico Cross is located in the Treasury of St. Mary’s Cathedral in Toledo, Spain. Th e Treasury is located in the back of the cathedral, a secure room for the most valuable sacred vessels, vestments, statues, paintings, and other artwork. Description. Th e Friar Angelico Cross is a painted cross on wood with images on both sides. One side depicts Christ alive, while the other depicts Christ dead. Th e cross “was presented to the cathedral after the Spanish civil war (1936-1939) by the then head of the Italian government” (Gonzalez, D. L. A., Toledo Cathedral: Art and History, Toledo, Spain: Artes Grafi cas, 64). Th e predominant color is gold. Th e four ends have rounded lobes with an image within each. Jesus, the Central Figure. Th e focal point is the center image of the crucifi ed Jesus. Th ere is a black Latin Cross underneath his body. His head is surrounded by a golden halo bordered by a thin black line and inlaid with a partial red cross. A black crown of thorns surrounds his head, his hair is long and fl owing onto his shoulders, and his eyes are open and gazing upward. His upper torso and legs are upright, not sagging, and without wounds. His arms are outstretched almost horizontally and blood is fl owing from the nail marks. His feet are overlapping, pinned with a single nail, with streams of blood. Above his head there is a red sign with four gold letters, “INRI,” the Latin initials for Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, the inscription Pilate had affi xed to the cross (Jn 19:19). Th e Four Figures. Th ere is an image at each end of the cross both front and back. On the front the top image is a mother pelican feeding her chicks, a symbol for Christ feeding the members of the Church; the bottom is St. Dominic, arms upraised; the left is the Blessed Virgin Mary in blue; and the right is the Beloved Disciple in red. On the back the top fi gure is St. John the Evangelist with his right hand raised and his left hand holding an open book, the symbol for his literary contributions to the New Testament: the gospel of John; his letters (1,2,3 John), and the Book of Revelation. Th e top page is inscribed with the letter Alpha, the fi rst letter of the Greek alphabet, a reference to Jesus who is the Alpha and the Omega (Rev 1:8; 21:6; 22:13). Th e bottom fi gure is St. Dominic clothed with a brown habit. Th e left fi gure is a saint with a tattered cloak,his right hand holding the cord of a red hat.

Worship Message of the Second Vatican Council to Youth (1965) Bernie Leach The following excerpt is from a message to youth issued in 1965 as the Second Vatican Council was wrapping up its four years of deliberations. Those who are interested in the entire message may fi nd it at the Vatican website: www.vatican.va/phome_en.htm. The link for World Youth Day is at the right of the page. This document is found under the link to Foundational Documents on the World Youth Day page. The document still rings true today. The Church looks to you with confi dence and with love. Rich with a long past ever living in her, and marching on toward human perfection in time and the ultimate destinies of history and of life, the Church is the real youth of the world. She possesses what constitutes the strength and the charm of youth, that is to say, the ability to rejoice with what is beginning, to give oneself unreservedly, to renew oneself and to set out again for new conquests. Look upon the Church and you will fi nd in her the face of Christ, the genuine, humble and wise Hero, the Prophet of truth and love, the Companion and Friend of youth. It is in the name of Christ that we salute you, that we exhort and bless you.
