Prayers / Peticiones
St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church
Dear Friends, Last week Pope Francis formally signed the decree recognizing the miracle needed to advance the cause for canonization of Blessed Oscar Romero, the slain Archbishop of San Salvador. Archbishop Romero was a courageous defender of the poor, denouncing violence against civilians in a time of great conflict in El Salvador. He was assassinated while offering Mass at Divine Providence Hospital on March 24, 1980. The miracle attributed to his intercession was the cure of a woman named Cecilia who became seriously ill after giving birth in August 2015. The doctor told Cecilia’s husband that she would likely die and that if he believed “in something, in a god, (pray) for her because the way she is, it’s likely that she’ll die.” The husband found a prayer card of Archbishop Romero and prayed for his intercession. Cecilia came out of a coma and made a full recovery. The couple knew it was a miracle and eventually reported it to their pastor, who then reported it to the Vatican. The prayers of the Holy Ones, like Blessed Oscar Romero, strengthen our belief in God’s presence and love in the Communion of Saints. The witness of holy lives also gives courage and inspiration to the rest of us as we struggle to be faithful in a confused and often violent world. Archbishop Romero was an outspoken churchman. Because of this, he had enemies. Nonetheless, he could not remain silent and he believed the Church should not remain silent in the face of evil and injustice. He knew that his homilies against unjust aggressors would put him in danger. He knew that he would be in a worse situation were he to neglect his responsibility to speak up and to speak out. It is easy in our day and in our own situation to find a way to stay “safe.” There are many injustices occurring all around us. Could we shine the light of Jesus’ truth and compassion on the shadows we discover? Or should we begin by asking for the willingness and ability to notice those shadows? There are many ways to make a difference, including prayer and sacrifice, participation in the political process with all of our Church’s teachings at heart, witnessing by word and deed. Injustice brings suffering. Since all of us suffer maybe we can make this our prayer: Lord, by sharing my suffering with you, help me to see with you the suffering of your people all around me. Blessed Oscar Romero said: “There are some things that can only be seen through eyes that have cried.” Help us, Lord Jesus and all your Holy Ones, to stand together with you for one another. With my prayers, Fr. Matthew Zuberbueler Pastor
Estimados amigos: La semana pasada, el Papa Francisco firmó formalmente el decreto reconociendo el milagro necesario para promover la causa de la canonización del Beato Oscar Romero, el arzobispo asesinado de San Salvador. El Arzobispo Romero fue un valiente defensor de los pobres, denunciando la violencia contra civiles en un momento de gran conflicto en El Salvador. Fue asesinado mientras ofrecía misa en el Hospital Divina Providencia el 24 de marzo de 1980. El milagro atribuido a su intercesión fue la cura de una mujer llamada Cecilia que enfermó gravemente después de dar a luz en agosto de 2015. El médico le dijo al esposo de Cecilia que probablemente iba a morir y que si él creía "en algo, en un dios, (rezar) por ella porque como esta, es probable que ella muera". El esposo encontró una tarjeta de oración del Arzobispo Romero y oró por su intercesión. Cecilia salió de un coma y se recuperó por completo. La pareja sabía que era un milagro y eventualmente lo reportaron a su párroco, quien luego lo reportó al Vaticano. Las oraciones de los Santos, como el Beato Oscar Romero, fortalecen nuestra creencia en la presencia y el amor de Dios en la Comunión de los Santos. El testimonio de vidas santas también nos da coraje e inspiración al resto de nosotros mientras luchamos por ser fieles en un mundo confuso y a menudo violento. El Arzobispo Romero era un franco y abierto eclesiástico. Debido a esto, él tenía enemigos. No obstante, no podía permanecer en silencio y creía que la Iglesia no debería permanecer en silencio ante el mal y la injusticia. Sabía que sus homilías contra los agresores injustos lo pondrían en peligro. Sabía que estaría en una situación peor si abandonara su responsabilidad de hablar y de denunciar. En nuestros días y en nuestra propia situación es fácil encontrar la forma de mantenernos "seguros". Hay muchas injusticias a nuestro alrededor. ¿Podríamos hacer brillar la luz de la verdad y la compasión de Jesús en las sombras que descubrimos? ¿O deberíamos comenzar pidiendo la voluntad y la capacidad de notar esas sombras? Hay muchas maneras de marcar la diferencia, incluyendo la oración y el sacrificio, la participación en el proceso político con todas las enseñanzas de nuestra Iglesia en el corazón, testimoniando con palabras y hechos. La injusticia trae sufrimiento. Como todos nosotros sufrimos, tal vez podamos hacer de esto nuestra oración: Señor, al compartir mi sufrimiento contigo, ayúdame a ver contigo el sufrimiento de tu gente a mi alrededor. El Beato Oscar Romero dijo: "Hay algunas cosas que solo se pueden ver a través de los ojos que han llorado". Ayúdanos, Señor Jesús y todos tus Santos, a unirnos el uno con el otro. Con mis oraciones, Padre Mateo Zuberbueler Párroco

Stewardship of Time and Talent / Corresponsabilidad de Tiempo y Talento I will be their God and they shall be my people.” - JEREMIAH 31:33
What does it mean to be God’s people? It means we recognize that everything we have and everything we are be-longs to God. We aren’t “owners” of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has given us. It means we are willing to use our gifts and our lives to care for our neighbors and the world, just as God cares for us.

Dear St. Anthony Family, March has been a very special month for us! After much prayer, study and preparation, our second grade students received the sacrament Reconciliation for the first time. Thanks to our priests, especially Fr.
Jeb, and Miss Stoops, their teacher, for helping our students foster a love for this beautiful sacrament of mercy and healing. We pray it is one they will frequent often, with their families, drawing upon those graces as they grow in holiness. Speaking of holiness, our Eighth graders received many grades during the first week of March, attending the Diocesan-wide Vocations Mass with Bishop Burbidge and attending their Confirmation Retreat with Fr. Z and their religion teacher, Mr. Casper. Come, Holy Spirit, enlighten the minds of our youth and set their hearts on fire for love of you! Many thanks, for your continued prayers for us. You all remain in our prayers. Sincerely Yours in Christ, Ms. Buçaj, Principal
Corpus Christi School
