St. Charles Borromeo Church This Week’s Liturgy A few days ago, Sister Patricia Dippel, OSU,
who has been with us at St Charles since 1988,
informed me that the time has come for her to retire
from active ministry and to return to the Ursuline Motherhouse in
Pepper Pike.
Sister Patricia grew up in a large family at St Philomena
Parish in East Cleveland. After graduating from Ursuline
Academy of the Sacred Heart in 1947, Sister joined the Ursuline
Sisters of Cleveland. The Ursulines had educated her at both
St Philomena Grade School and at Sacred Heart. As was the
custom in those days, Sister received the religious name of
“Joseph Francis.” Sister was, in turn, a classroom teacher at
St Therese in Garfield Heights, Christ the King in East Cleveland,
and served as principal at both St Jerome in Cleveland and then
at St Francis de Sales in Parma. Sister also directed the formation
program for young nuns at the Motherhouse. After the Second
Vatican Council, Sister was permitted to take back her baptismal
name, “Patricia.”
Sister came to St Charles in 1988 as a sixth grade
teacher. Some years later, Sister became a secretary in our school
office. I then asked Sister to serve as Minister to Seniors. Sister
began by visiting the oldest parishioners (in their 100’s) and then
“worked her way down” to those in their seventies. Sister was
faithful to Guild and to Seniors meetings. She has spent sixty-nine
years doing good as an Ursuline Sister, twenty-eight of those years
at St Charles.
Sister Patricia’s many years of dedication to us calls for
a formal farewell. On Sunday, May 29, at the 9:00am Mass, we
will thank Sister for her loving service to St Charles. After Mass,
in the Lower Parish Hall, our Parish Council will hold a Donut
Social Reception in Sister’s honor. All are welcome at that
Farewell Mass and Reception on Sunday May 29. God bless
Sister Patricia Dippel and the dozens of Ursuline Sisters who have
served St Charles Borromeo Parish so faithfully since 1924.
This Sunday afternoon, at two o’clock, we will celebrate
First Communion Day. My mother was fond of saying “If you
have the second graders praying for you, you will have no
troubles.” I think my Mom was right! Thank you to the teachers
and to the administrators of our Day School and PCRF programs
for all their dedicated work. This is one of the happiest days in
parish life and one of the most joyous for me as a parish priest!
Our new Jail Ministry Group will meet this Monday,
May 2, 7:00pm, in the John XXIII Room (second floor) , Parish
Activities Center. Interested in learning more about simple but
significant things we can do to help the imprisoned? If so, please
stop by at our meeting. No commitment required at this time; just
bring an open mind!
Remember: Pancake Breakfast this Sunday morning
after the 7:30, 9:00, and 10:30am Masses, Lower Hall.
This year’s intern, Matt Cortnik, returned to St Mary
Seminary on Monday. Has asked me to share this note:
“I am very grateful for my year with you at St Charles.
I thank you for your prayers, support, and friendship. Father CarCongratulations and lin, the parishioners, priests, religious, and staff have inspired me to
priestly ministry wholeheartedly. You remain in my prayers
God’s blessings to our seek
and I ask you to pray for me, my classmates, and my fellow semi2016 First Communicants. narians. Please pray, too, that more young men may consider a
priestly vocation.

T
he Isenheim Altarpiece is an altarpiece sculpted
and painted by, respectively, Niclaus of Haguenau
and Matthias Grünewald, between the years 151216. It is on display at the Unterlinden Museum at Colmar,
in France. In 2012, the museum celebrated its 500th
anniversary of this masterpiece. By far, it is Grünewald’s
greatest and largest work. It was painted for the Monastery
of St. Anthony in Isenheim, which specialized in hospital
work. The Antonine monks of the monastery were especially
noted for their care of those suffering from the plague, as
well as their treatment of skin diseases, such as ergotism.
Ergotism, a devastating skin disease, often fatal, caused by
eating ryes and other grains or grasses infected with ergot
fungus, was, in fact, commonly known as St. Anthony’s Fire.
The image of the crucified Christ is pitted with plague-like
sores, showing patients that Jesus understood and shared
their afflictions.
WINGS CLOSED: The altarpiece has two sets of wings,
displaying three configurations. With the exception of certain
holy days, the wings of the altarpiece were kept closed,
displaying most often, the Crucifixion (Fig 1), framed on the
left by the martyrdom of St. Sebastian pierced by arrows,
and on the right by St. Anthony the Great, remaining placid
although he is being taunted by a frightening monster. The two
saints protect and heal the sick; St. Anthony as the patron of
the victims of St. Anthony’s fire and St. Sebastian, whose aid
was invoked to ward off the plague. Grünewald’s Crucifixion
stands as one of the most poignant representations of this
scene in Western art due to the artist’s masterful depiction
of horrific agony, with Christ’s emaciated body writhing
under the pain of the nails driven through his hands and feet.
This body covered with sores and riddled with thorns must
have terrified the sick, but also left no doubt about Christ’s
suffering, thus comforting them in their communion with
the Savior, whose pain they shared. Mary, the mother of
Jesus, is shown at Christ’s right, collapsing in anguish in the
arms of John, the beloved disciple of Christ, and shrouded in
a large piece of white cloth.
At Christ’s left, John the Baptist is accompanied by a lamb,
symbolizing the sacrifice of Jesus. The presence of John the
Baptist is chronologically inconsistent. Beheaded by order
of Herod in 29 ad, he could not possibly have witnessed
the death of Christ. This last figure announces the New
Testament by crying out in Latin: illum oportet crescere
me autem minui (John 3:30), “He must increase, but I must
decrease.” The inclusion of John the Baptist in this scene is
symbolic, since he is considered as the last of the prophets
to announce the coming of the Messiah.
OUTER WINGS OPENED: When the outer wings were
opened for important festivals of the liturgical year, on
Sundays and special feast days, particularly those in honor of
the Virgin Mary, a splendorous array of four brightly colored
panels presented the viewer with an even more unorthodox
program of familiar Christian themes: the Annunciation, the
Incarnation (the Nativity of Christ), and the Resurrection
of Christ (Fig 2).
One of the great masterpieces of mystic expression in art is
Grünewald’s Resurrection, represented on the final panel.
The figure of Christ rises in a burst of light so bright that the
soldiers are struck down and cannot face his radiant glory
(Front Cover). Here, the artist turns to pure colors, a rainbow
spectrum in fact, that transforms all corporeal matter into
divine light. The giant glory about Christ radiates in nearly
imperceptible circles from the golden yellow at the center
through the spectrum of colors to darker blues, violets,
and purplish-black of the night sky. In turn, these colors
transform Christ’s long, unfurling shroud into a translucent
train of delicate draperies floating above the harsher and
more metallic costumes of the guards and earthbound forms
of the landscape. The figure of Christ truly seems to rise
upward as an earthly being transfigured in the bright light.
Of the countless paintings of the Resurrection created
across the centuries and throughout the world, there are few
that can rival the beauty of Grünewald’s Resurrection. This
painting immediately arrests the viewer with its striking
use of vibrant color and dramatic contrasts. In this image,
the words of the Exultet, proclaimed by the deacon at the
Easter Vigil, find a visual resonance:
Be glad, let earth be glad, as glory floods her,
ablaze with light from her eternal King,
let all corners of the earth be glad,
knowing an end to gloom and darkness.
The golden light of the sun and the silver light of the moon
merge behind the head of the risen Christ, and the stars
shimmer with an even greater brilliance in the midnight sky.
These are the witnesses to the Resurrection.
O truly blessed night,
worthy alone to know the time and hour
when Christ rose from the underworld!
This is the night of which it is written:
The night shall be as bright as day,
dazzling is the night for me,
and full of gladness.
But there is more than mystical light to be reckoned with
here. The body of the risen Christ is a translucent form
dissolving in its own light. The legs and arms are white
and glowing; the head of Christ dissolves into a sun with
the facial features barely traced across it; and the festered
wounds of his body are now sparkling rubies of pure red.
For those afflicted with the terrible skin diseases of the
day, these images offered a sense of hope: if they kept their
faith in Christ, they too could be cleansed. In Grünewald’s
Resurrection, we witness the deification of the human, the
return of flesh to the divine in the most majestic of terms.
