St. Anthony of Padua Church www.sapparish.org 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ October 16, 2016

“When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

Jesus tells of a woman who seeks a just decision from a judge who, by his own

admission, does not “fear God nor respect any human being.” She is not asking for spe-

cial treatment, but simple justice. The judge is resistant - not much different than many

judges today. But the woman is persistent. The judge becomes alarmed by her determi-

nation and renders the just decision she seeks. The woman had faith in the justice of her

claim. Persistence in prayer is a sign of our growth of faith in God. Consider that most

of the products we enjoy today are the result of peo-

ple who had faith in a great idea and the persistence

to find someone who could help them produce and

market their invention. Such persistence in prayer re-

veals our faith that God loves us. That is the kind of

faith Jesus wonders whether he will “find on earth?”

That is the faith of a good steward. Is it out faith?

St. Ignatius of Antioch was born in the

year 50 to a pagan family. He later want-

ed to become a Christian and was con-

verted. Ignatius was the third bishop of

Antioch. This is the city where St. Peter

labored before he moved to Rome. It is

also the city where followers of Jesus

were first called Christians.

Ignatius was condemned to death by Em-

peror Trajan who hated the Christians.

He was taken from Antioch to the amphi-

theater in center of Rome. This was the

place where the Christians who were to

die were left in the center of a big ground

to be eaten by hungry lions that were let

out of their cages. All around this large

ground were seats for the Romans to

watch while the lions killed the people

and they enjoyed watching the Christians

die. Although St. Ignatius traveled to

Rome under military guard, he stopped in

Smyrna and Troas. From each of those

cities, he wrote letters to the Christian

communities. He was the first writer to

use the term "the Catholic Church." He

told the churches that he was very happy

to die for Jesus so they must not stop

him. He asked them to pray that God

would grant him his wish. In this way,

like the great St. Paul, he preached the

Good News to the people. When the be-

loved Ignatius arrived in Rome, he joined

the brave Christians who waited in pris-

ons. The day came when the bishop was

pushed out into the amphitheater. Two

fierce lions devoured him. He left the

beautiful witness of Christian life and his

letters. St. Ignatius died around 107.

XXIX Domingo Ordinario ~ 16 de Octubre de 2016 ~ 29th Sunday of Ordinary Time

"Cuando el Hijo del hombre venga, ¿encontrará fe en la tierra?" Jesús habla de una mujer que busca una decisión justa de un juez que, por su propia

admisión, no "temen a Dios ni respeto a cualquier ser humano." Ella no está pidiendo

un trato especial, pero la simple justicia. El juez se resiste - no es muy diferente de

otros jueces en la actualidad. Pero la mujer es persistente. El juez se alarma por su

determinación y hace la decisión justa que ella busca. La mujer tenía fe en la justicia de

su reclamación. La persistencia en la oración es una señal de nuestro crecimiento de la

fe en Dios. Consideran que la mayor parte de los productos que disfrutamos hoy en día

son el resultado de personas que tenían fe en una gran idea y la persistencia para

encontrar a alguien que pudiera ayudarles a producir y

comercializar su invención. Tal persistencia en la oración

revela nuestra fe de que Dios nos ama. Esa es la clase de fe

que Jesús se pregunta si va a "encontrar en la tierra?" Esa es

la fe de un buen administrador. ¿Ya no hay fe?

San Ignacio de Antioquia nació en el año

50 de una familia pagana. Más tarde

quería ser un cristiano y se convirtió.

Ignacio fue el tercer obispo de Antioquía.

Esta es la ciudad donde San Pedro trabajó

antes de trasladarse a Roma. También es

la ciudad donde los seguidores de Jesús

fueron llamados cristianos por primera

vez.

Ignacio fue condenado a muerte por el

emperador Trojano que odiaba a los

cristianos. Fue trasladado desde

Antioquía hasta el anfiteatro en el centro

de Roma. Este era el lugar donde los

cristianos que estaban por morir fueron

dejados en el centro de una gran planta

para ser comidos por leones hambrientos

que se dejaron fuera de sus jaulas. Todo

alrededor de este gran terreno eran

asientos para los romanos para ver

mientras los leones mataron a la gente y

disfrutaron viendo a los cristianos morir.

Aunque San Ignacio viajó a Roma bajo

custodia militar, se detuvo en Esmirna y

Troas. De cada una de esas ciudades,

escribió cartas a las comunidades

cristianas. Fue el primer escritor en

utilizar el término "la Iglesia Católica."

Le dijo a las iglesias que estaba muy feliz

de morir por Jesús. Se les pidió que oren

para que Dios le conceda su deseo. De

esta manera, al igual que el gran San

Pablo, predicó la buena nueva a la gente.

Cuando el amado Ignacio llegó a Roma,

se unió a los valientes cristianos que

esperaban en las cárceles. Llegó el día en

que el obispo fue empujado hacia el

anfiteatro. Dos feroces leones

lo devoraron.

Abandonó el

hermoso

testimonio de

vida cristiana y

sus cartas. San

Ignacio murió

alrededor de

107.

What does the Catechism of the Catholic Church say?

Paragraph 1435:

Conversion is accomplished in daily life by gestures of

reconciliation, concern for the poor, the exercise and defense of

justice and right, by the admission of faults to one's brethren,

fraternal correction, revision of life, examination of conscience,

spiritual direction, acceptance of suffering, endurance of

persecution for the sake of righteousness. Taking up one's cross

each day and following Jesus is the surest way of penance.

The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been

counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. Acts 5:41

Our Mission Statement

The mission of Saint Anthony of Padua Parish is to develop an atmosphere for the members

of our Faith Community to live out the four-fold goals of the Catholic Church:

Worship, Word, Service, & Community.

Prayer for Priests

Dear Lord,

We pray that the

Blessed Mother will

wrap her mantle of

protection around

Your priests and

through her interces-

sion may they be

strengthened in their

ministry.

We pray that Mary

will guide Your priests,

dear Lord, to follow

her own words, “Do

whatever He tells you”.

(John 2:5)

May Your priests have

the heart of St. Joseph,

Mary’s most chaste

spouse. May the

Blessed Mother’s own

pierced heart inspire

them to embrace all

who suffer at the foot

of the holy cross for the

love of God the Father.

May Your priests be

Holy, as you are holy,

And through the power

of the Holy Spirit,

may they be filled with

the fire of Your love

seeking nothing but

Your greater glory

and the salvation of

souls. Amen!

St. John Vianney,

pray for us!

Prayer of St. Ignatius of Antioch

I am the wheat of God, and am ground by the teeth of the

wild beasts, that I may be found the pure bread of God.

I long after the Lord, the Son of the true God and Father,

Jesus Christ. Him I seek, who died for us and rose again.

I am eager to die for the sake of Christ. My love has been

crucified, and there is no fire in me that loves anything.

But there is living water springing up in me,

and it says to me inwardly: "Come to the Father."

Oración de San Ignacio de Antioquía

Soy el trigo de Dios, y estoy en el suelo por los dientes de las

fieras, que pueda ser hallado pan puro de Dios.

Y de largo después de que el Señor, el Hijo del Dios

verdadero y Padre, Jesucristo. Lo que busco, que murió por

nosotros y resucitó. Estoy ansioso de morir por la causa de

Cristo. Mi amor está crucificado, y no hay fuego en mí que le

gusta nada. Pero no es agua viva que brota en mí,

y me dice interiormente: "Ven al Padre."
