14th Sunday in Ordinary Time Weekend of July 2/3, 2016

As a faith community, we joyfully greet Fr. John Dominic Sims, O.P., our

new Pastor. Fr. J.D., we welcome you with open arms and trust that the Lord

will use you to bring about greater conversion and a deeper faith to those of us

who call St. Anthony home. That expectant faith allows us to

trust in the Lord’s goodness and mercy knowing that He has a

great plan for us through your leadership. You are in our

prayers as you settle into your new home at St. Anthony of

Padua Church and Priory. May the Lord be with you always to

guide you, may His strength uphold you and may you always

know His protection and love.

Saints Peter and Paul

These two apostles are celebrated together as the founders of the early Church of Rome. St. Peter held a preeminent status among Jesus’ disciples. He was very close to Jesus and is the apostle Jesus designated as the “rock” upon which his Church would be built. Even St. Paul acknowledged St. Peter

as the pillar of the Church in Jerusalem. The Gospel of St. Luke describes Jesus commis-sioning St. Peter as the head of the disci-ples. In the first of his letters contained in the New Testament, St. Peter penned the stewardship reflection placed so prominent-ly in the United States Bishops’ pastoral letter on Christian stewardship: “As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace” (1 Pt. 4:10). Thinkers throughout the ages acknowledge St. Paul as a genius and his success as a missionary was unmatched. He was a highly educated Jew and inter-preted his conversion experience on the road to Damascus as Christ’s personal call to preach the Good News to the Gentiles. He established Christian communities around the eastern Mediterranean, is noted for three great missionary journeys and wrote letters to various communities. St. Paul be-lieved that exercising good stewardship over the gift of the Risen Christ was fundamental to eternal life. How Saints Peter and Paul actual-ly exercised stewardship over the Church in Rome is lost to history, but our faith tradition affirms that they jointly founded the Church of Rome, exercised a special author-ity over it and established its apostolic succession; a suc-cession of bishops and popes that continues to this day.

San Pedro y San Pablo

Los dos apóstoles son celebrados juntos como fundadores de la primera Iglesia de Roma. San Pedro tiene un prominen-te status entre los discípulos de Jesús. Él estuvo muy cercano a Jesús y es el apóstol que Jesús designó como la “piedra” sobre la cual su Iglesia sería construida. Incluso San Pablo reconoció a San Pedro como el pilar de la Iglesia en Jerusalén y líder de la misión para los Gentiles. El Evangelio de San Lucas describe a Jesús comisionando a San Pedro como cabeza de los discípulos. En la primera de sus cartas contenidas en el Nuevo Testamento, San Pedro escribió la reflexión de la corre-sponsabilidad empleada prominen-

temente en la Carta Pastoral de los Obispos de los Estados Unidos sobre la corresponsabilidad Cristiana: “Cada uno según el don que ha recibido, minístrelo a los otros, como buenos ad-ministradores de la multiforme gracia de Dios.” (1 Pedro 4:10). Los pensa-dores a través de los siglos reconocen a San Pablo como un genio y su éxito como misionero fue inigualable. Él era un judío altamente educado que inter-pretó su experiencia de conversión en el camino a Damasco como un llamado personal de Cristo a predicar las Buenas Nuevas a los gentiles. Él esta-bleció comunidades Cristianas a lo lar-go del oriente del Mediterráneo, es conocido por tres grandes viajes misioneros y escribió cartas a varias comunidades. San Pablo, creyó que la corresponsabilidad sobre el don de Cristo Resucitado era fundamental para la vida eterna. Cómo ejercitaron San Pedro y San Pablo realmente la corre-sponsabilidad sobre la Igle-sia en Roma, se pierde en la historia, pero nuestra tradición de fe afirma que su unión fundó la Iglesia de Roma, que ejercieron una autoridad especial sobre ella y que establecieron su sucesión apostólica; una sucesión de obispos y papas que continúa hasta el día de hoy.
