SUNDAY THOUGHT

Mark 6: 30-34

Last week if you recall, Jesus sent His disciples

out together, two by two, to announce the Good News.

In order for us to be successful in our calling to spread

the Gospel message, we will need the support and the

companionship of other committed Christians who are

likewise enthusiastic about God’s work. That is why it is

so essential that we are a part of a parish community.

We will find it very hard going otherwise. Today’s

Gospel also reminds us of the second requirement for

discipleship. We must have a personal relationship with

Jesus. We cannot witness to someone we do not know.

If we are to be those faithful disciples who do know

Jesus we will have to spend time with Him alone in

prayer. The greatest obstacle to holiness today is we are

simply too busy for the Lord. Slow down this week and

take the time to meet Him.

SIXTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JULY 22, 2018

CELEBRATING THE SAINTS

Saint Joseph (+1

st

Century)

Saint Joseph, the foster father of our Lord, was

proclaimed the Guardian of the Universal Church by

Pope Pius IX in 1870. His patronage extends to

countries, religious orders, and laborers. He is

especially invoked by fathers of families and pregnant

women. He is the saint for those who struggle with

hesitation.

In Matthew, we read how Joseph, having

discovered his betrothed to be unexpectedly pregnant,

decided for a discreet divorce. But then the angel

Gabriel appears: “Joseph, son of David, do not be

afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is

through the Holy Spirit that this child has been

conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to

name him Jesus, because He will save His people from

their sins (Mt. 1:20-21).” And Joseph’s response is

immediate: “he did as the angel of the Lord had

commanded him and took his wife into his home (Mt.

1:24).”

Saint John Paul II sees Joseph’s prompt

response as the fruit of a deep inner life, paralleling in

a certain way Mary’s own “yes”. Joseph is “the first to

be placed by God on the path of Mary’s pilgrimage of

faith.”

Saint Teresa of Avila underscores Joseph’s

quick response to our prayers. “I have never known

anyone who was truly devoted to him and honored

him by particular services who did not advance greatly

in virtue, for he helps in a special way those souls who

recommend themselves to him.” We celebrated St.

Joseph’s feast yearly on March 19

th

.

RITE OF CHRISTIAN

INITIATION OF ADULTS

RCIA is a process where

adults interested in joining

the Catholic Church begin

their formation in the Catholic faith. Through weekly

meetings, personal time in prayer, and support from

the faithful, inquirers deepen their relationship with

God as they seek to receive the Sacraments of

Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and the Holy

Eucharist). RCIA resumes in September. If you, or

anyone you know, is interested in becoming Catholic,

contact Fr. Peter at (440) 842-2666 or email at

frpeter@stanthonypaduaparma.org.

POTLUCK AND A MOVIE

Space is still available for ladies to join the

Women’s Faith Ministry on Sunday, July 29 from 4

p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Hospitality Room for a potluck

dinner followed by a movie, “The Resurrection of

Gavin Stone”. This light, amusing drama is about a

self-absorbed former child star who is forced to do

community service at a local church after a run-in with

the law. He pretends to be Christian to land the part of

Jesus in the church’s annual Passion play, only to

discover that the most important role of his life is not

based out of Hollywood, and a profound

transformation takes place.

If you can, please bring a main dish, side dish or

dessert of your choice for the potluck. Beverages,

popcorn and paper products will be provided by

WFM. Please call the parish office as soon as possible

and leave your name, phone number and email address

(if you have one) or email us directly

wfmstanthony@gmail.com.

EVERYBODY NEEDS TO FORGIVE

SOMEBODY

Reservations are still being accepted for the

Women’s Faith Ministry’s five-week book study being

held: Wednesday, Aug 1 & 8, Thursday, Aug. 16, and

Wednesday, Aug, 22 & 29, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the

Hospitality Room. At that time, we will read and discuss

12 stories about real people who discovered the life-

changing power of forgiveness through grace despite

unimaginable circumstances. This program is for all

women of the parish and those they wish to invite.

WFM book studies include supportive materials,

activities that encourage spiritual growth, and

inspirational prayer for women who wish to enhance

their faith.

If you would like to participate, please call the parish

office at (440) 842-2666 or respond by email

to wfmstanthony@gmail.com as soon as possible.

Although it is not mandatory to attend each week, it

benefits you to do so. There is no cost to attend.

PARISH GROUPS TO CONSIDER JOINING

while fostering parish friendships, participation, and

needed parish revenue. Volunteers are needed as bingo

callers, floor workers, and in the kitchen. Bingo is held

every Thursday evening in the school cafeteria.

Social Concerns is dedicated to promoting the social

mission of the Church to foster a just and peaceful

society by promoting the dignity of every human person.
