FROM OUR PASTOR, FR. MATTHEW ZUBERBUELER / DE NUESTRO PÁRROCO PADRE MATTHEW ZUBERBUELER

Dear Friends,

One of most striking examples of how real and personal the love of God is can be seen in the way He calls men and women to give themselves totally to Him in the service of the Church. The mystery of the personal vocation we receive from God is one which reveals His activity in individual lives and, at the same time, His concern for the Church for the years ahead.

I have never worked directly in the work of Vocations, like is done in the Office of Vocations. People who serve in that way learn to see certain signs of how God moves and works in the willing (and sometimes not so willing) hearts of people He in-vites to serve the Church in particular ways. While there are some recognizable signs and themes, the call of God is always suited to the unique person being called. It is a special, a very special reality.

We can say that God’s call to each of us is special, of course. I hope that each of you can recall something of the way God reached you to accept the quest for holiness which is our privi-lege to share with Him. Last Sunday we celebrated that call and the beauty of the Saints in Heaven. This Sunday we conclude the celebration of Vocations Awareness Week. I was so happy to see our Fourth Graders in their Saints costumes at the School Mass on Monday. How different our world would be if our hope and desire for every young person, and, indeed, for every person, were that they become Saints. There is nothing more alive and new than the expression in our lives of the holiness and love of God. Each person expresses it differently. Each personal expression of His love raises up and helps everyone, everywhere.

Is it evident today that our world is ready for a revival of the value we place on learning to live as if Heaven is our goal? Can the joys of Heaven begin here and now? At least it is worth a try. Pray for Vocations. Live your Vocation.

With my prayers,

Fr. Matthew ZuberbuelerPastor

Queridos amigos,

Uno de los ejemplos más asombrosos sobre qué tan real y person-al es el amor de Dios, puede experimentarse en la forma en que Él llama a hombres y a mujeres a entregarse totalmente a Él en el servicio de la Iglesia. El misterio de la vocación personal que recibimos de Dios revela su actividad en la vida individual de las personas y, al mismo tiempo, Su preocupación por la Iglesia en los años venideros.

Personalmente nunca me he involucrado de forma directa en el tra-bajo de vocaciones, como se hace en la Oficina de Vocaciones. Las personas que sirven de esa manera aprenden a ver ciertas señales de cómo Dios se mueve y trabaja en los corazones dispuestos (y a veces no tan dispuestos) de las personas a las que invita a servir a la Igle-sia de maneras particulares. Si bien hay algunas manifestaciones y temas identificables, el llamado de Dios siempre se adapta a la per-sona única a la que llama. Es una realidad especial, muy especial.

Desde luego que podemos decir que el llamado de Dios para cada uno de nosotros es especial. Espero que ustedes puedan recordar algo sobre la forma en que Dios los tocó para aceptar la búsqueda de la santidad, la cual es nuestro privilegio compartir con Él. El domingo pasado celebramos ese llamado y la belleza de los Santos en el Cielo. Este domingo concluimos la celebración de la Semana de Sensibilización Vocacional. Me senti muy feliz cuando vi a nuestros estudiantes de cuarto grado con sus trajes de santos en la Misa escolar el lunes. Qué diferente sería nuestro mundo si nues-tra esperanza y deseo para cada joven, y de hecho, para cada per-sona, fuera que se convirtieran en santos. No hay nada más vivo y nuevo que la expresión en nuestras vidas de la santidad y el amor de Dios. Cada persona lo expresa de manera distinta. Cada expresión personal de Su amor eleva y ayuda a todos, en todas partes.

¿Es evidente hoy que nuestro mundo está listo para un renacimien-to del valor que le damos a aprender a vivir como si el cielo fuera nuestra meta? ¿Pueden las alegrías del cielo comenzar aquí y aho-ra? Al menos vale la pena intentarlo. Ore por las vocaciones. Viva su vocación.

Con mis oraciones,

Padre Matthew ZuberbuelerPárroco

CONFESSIONS DURING COVID / CONFESIONES DURANTE COVID

COMMUNION SERVICE / SERVICIO DE COMUNIÓN

BAPTISMS / BAUTIZOS

Confessions are being heard in the meeting rooms down the hall to the right of the main entrance to the church in Rooms 8, 9 and 10. We are using these rooms so that the prescribed social distancing rules can be observed for your protection and ours.

Las confesiones están siendo escuchadas en las salas de reuniones 8, 9 y 10, ubicadas en el pasillo a la derecha de la entrada principal de la iglesia. Estas salas se están usando para el distanciamiento social entre una persona y otra según recomendado, para lograr de esta manera la protección de ustedes y la nuestra.

A brief Communion Service will be offered on the courtyard at 9:00 am Monday-Saturday and at 10:00 am on Sundays.

Se ofrecerá un servicio de comunión breve en el patio a las 9:00 am de lunes a sábado, y los Domingos a las 10:00 am.

All baptisms and baptism classes are back on schedule. They will require the same guidelines and restrictions for social dis-tancing as attending Mass at St. Anthony. Call the parish office between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. Baptism dates and registration forms are available on our parish website under the “Sacraments”

Todos los bautizos y las clases pre-bautismales están ya ofre-ciéndose en el mismo horario. La asistencia, requerirá las mis-mas pautas y restricciones del distanciamiento social que se guardan cuando se asiste a Misa en la Iglesia de San Antonio. Llame a la oficina parroquial de 9:00 am a 5:00 pm de lunes a viernes. Las fechas de bautismo y los formularios de inscrip-ción están disponibles en el sitio web de nuestra parroquia bajo el menú “Sacramentos”.

REMINDER that masks are required to attend Mass and are to be worn throughout the Mass. At Communion we strongly encourage receiving on the hand and removing mask temporarily to consume the Host. Some have stayed away from Mass because they fear these precautions are not being observed by others.

Remember that it is an act of kindness and charity to do what helps another.

POR FAVOR RECUERDEN que las mascarillas son necesarias para participar en la Santa Misa y deben

ser usadas durante toda la Misa. Para recibir la Co-munión les sugerimos y exhortamos que la reciban en la mano y remuevan la mascarilla temporal-mente para consumir la Eucaristía. Hay quienes no han asistido a la Santa Misa por temor a que

estas precauciones no están siendo observadas.

Recuerden que es un acto de bondad ycaridad hacer algo que ayude a otros.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

My Jesus, I believe you are truly present inthe Blessed Sacrament.

I love you more than anything in the world,and I hunger to feed on your flesh. But since I cannot receive communion at this moment, feed my soul at least spiritually. I unite myself to you now as I do

when I actually receive you.Never let me drift away from you.

AMEN

COMUNIÓN ESPIRITUAL

Creo, Jesús mío, que estás real yverdaderamente en el cielo y en elSantísimo Sacramento del Altar.

Te amo sobre todas las cosas y deseo vivamente recibirte dentro de

mi alma, pero no pudiendo hacerloahora sacramentalmente,

ven al menos espiritualmente ami corazón.

Y como si ya te hubiese recibido, Te abrazo y me uno del todo a Tí.

Señor, no permitas que jamás me aparte de Tí.

AMÉN

WHO WAS THE 2ND POPE?

ANSWER:

If you listen carefully to Eucharistic Prayer I, after the list of names of the Apostles you'll hear Linus, Cletus, and Clement. They were the 2nd, 3rd and 4th popes who were all martyrs. The Bishop of Rome is the Pope and a suc-cessor to St. Peter. Bishops are the suc-cessors of the Apostles and are respon-sible for guarding and passing down the Deposit of Faith. (CCC 861 & 862)
