From the Pastor’s Desk

INTRODUCTION TO THE HOLY WEEK Today begins the most holy week of the Christian year. The church all over the world in silence and deep prayer begins the Journey to Jerusalem together with Jesus. The foremost character of this week is deep contemplation and silence I would say THE SACRED SILENCE. Many times this week we kneel down, bow and even prostrate in silence to understand the mysteries of the Holy Week. I earnestly request all of you to enter in to these mysteries with deep prayer, silence and contemplation. Please do make an extra effort to join together to worship as a parish family. I invite you all to join to worship on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter vigil. PALM SUNDAY We will celebrate the Palm Sunday with blessings of the palm and a small procession in to the church, which reminds us of Jesus solemn entry in to Jerusalem temple to begin his passion. The narration of the passion of Jesus will call us to focus our attention to him alone this week. Let us make our journey with Jesus carrying our own pains, disappointments and deaths with us to the Triduum. For some, the pain is personal. For others, a loved one may be suffer-ing-even dying. For others, the year has brought personal and profes-sional disappointments. Some may have experienced all sorts of deaths-from the loss of a loved one to the death of a marriage or dream. Carry all that to the Lord. It’s your passion. HOLY THURSDAY In this holy day we celebrate three important gifts from Jesus. They are the commandment of love and service, the Eucharist and gift of priesthood. Today’s mass is also called the Mass of the Lords supper. Why is this mass different from every other mass this week? The tabernacle is empty; the oils brought from the chrism mass at the cathedral will be presented; the washing of the feet; there is a procession of the Blessed Sacrament and the stripping of the altar to remind us of the passion. Please do find some time to spend in silent prayer in front of the Eucha-ristic Lord. The alter of reposition is a reminder of Gethsemane where Jesus called his disciples to pray with him.

April 9, 2017

GOOD FRIDAY According to the church’s ancient tradition, the sacraments are not celebrated today or tomorrow. The altar is kept bare, without cloths, candles and flowers or cross. Today’s liturgy consists of three parts: passion readings, veneration of the cross and the communion service. We continue our Triduum, journey. Yesterday’s liturgy concluded in si-lence and today we pick up where we left off in silence. Today’s cele-bration proclaims the passion and the victory. We do not venerate solely the cross itself, but also what it means to us. HOLY SATURDAY On Holy Saturday the church waits at the Lord’s Tomb, medi-tating on his suffering and death. The Altar is left bare, the sac-rifice of the Mass is not celebrated. Only after the solemn vigil during the night, held in anticipation of the resurrection, does the Easter celebration begin, with a spirit of joy that overflows in to the following period of fifty days. EASTER VIGIL This vigil is called the mother of all vigils. The great Easter vigil has four parts: the service of light, liturgy of the word, liturgy of baptism and the liturgy of the Eucharist. This celebration overflowing with word, symbol and ceremony. I hope and pray that each and every one of us will experience a spiritual renewal and joy in this most holy time of the year. I assure you all my love and prayers in this Holy Week in every Easter Mass. Happy Easter!

Dear friends, I would like to welcome all of you in a very special way to join the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Thursday 7pm and the solemn celebration of the Lord’s Passion on Good Friday at 7pm. I hope and pray you all will have a holy and prayerful holy week celebration.

Welcome To all our Guests, Fr. Sebastian, Deacon Dick and Deacon Jim and All at St. Anthony’s Parish Family welcome you and hope that your time with us may be a moment of spiritual experience. You are always welcome here and if you would like to become a member of this parish or are thinking to become a Catholic, contact the Rectory office. Our phone is 636-677-4868 ext. 102.

Parish Events and News

ARCHDIOCESAN LENTEN REGULATIONS

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to con-demn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.” (John 3:16-17) The Church has always helped us fulfill these words of Jesus by prescribing very definite penance for all Catholics, so that we too might have Eternal life. Accordingly, the Pope and the American Bishops have outlined obligatory fast and abstinence as follows: Ash Wednesday (Wednesday March 1, 2017) and Good Friday (April 14, 2017) are days of abstinence for all Catholics over the age of 14. On these two days, fast, as well as abstinence, is also obligatory for those from the ages of 18-59. Abstinence means refrain-ing from meat. Fast means one full meal a day, with two smaller meals and nothing between meals (liquids are permitted). No Catholic will lightly excuse himself or herself from this obli-gation. All Fridays in Lent are days of abstinence from meat. Here again Catholics will not hold themselves lightly excused, but if there is a se-rious health problem, this obligation would not apply. We should strive to make all days of Lent a time of prayer and penance.

Archbishop Carlson has signed into policy that anyone who has any contact with children or vulnerable adults just ONE time must be in compliance according to Archdiocesan Policy. This includes anyone who volunteers in any ca-pacity here at St. Anthony’s must be in compli-ance. You are required to attend (1) one class along with the required paperwork. To register for an upcoming class go to http://archstl.org and click on the Protecting God’s Children tab on the left side of the page to register. If you don’t have internet or have any questions please contact Rusalyne at the rectory office M-F, 7:30 AM - 2:30 PM @ 636-677-4868 ext 104.

Protecting God’s Children Policy Changes

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14 Children’s Liturgy of the Word takes place during the 10:15 a.m. Sunday Mass. This program is designed for chil-dren ages three through eight (third grade). Children’s Liturgy of the Word brings the Gospel to the children at their level of understanding. Through appropriately adapted Scripture texts, music, prayer, and activities that reinforce the Gospel message, the children have an opportunity to celebrate their faith in a way that is joyful and relevant to their own young lives. The children are escorted out of mass by the program catechists after the Opening Prayer and return to mass during the Preparation of Gifts. For more information, contact Kathy Joslin at 636-677-1567 or [email protected].

Prayer for Protection During Tornado Season

O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed Your order and returned to its former quietude. You are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control. The season of tornadoes is upon us. These tornadoes invade our land and spread chaos and disaster. During this tornado season we turn to You. O loving Father, spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with passing of time. O Virgin Mary, Our beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son on our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem, where stormless eternity awaits us.

Amen.

[Adapted from “Prayer for Protection During Hurricane Season”, written by Most Rev. Mau-rice Schexnayder, second Bishop of Lafayette (1956-1972), following Hurricane Audrey in 1957.]

If you or a family mem-ber are in need of these services, please contact Rusalyne, at the St Anthony of Padua office at 636-677-4868 ext 104. Luke 10:36-37 Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robber's victim?” He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”


Lenten Prayers and Special Observances Prayer of Last Seven Words

O divine Jesus, Incarnate Son of God, for our salvation you consented to be born in a stable, to spend your whole life amid poverty, trials, and misery, and to die surrounded by sufferings on the Cross. At the hour of my death, please tell your Father, Father, forgive them. Tell your Mother, Behold your child. Tell my soul, This day you shall be with me in paradise. My God, my God do not forsake me in that hour. I thirst, yes, my soul thirsts for you who are the fountain of living waters. My life passes away like a shadow; in a short while everything will be accomplished. Therefore, my adored Saviour, from this moment and for all eternity, into your hands I commend my spirit. Lord Jesus, receive my soul.

Prayer of Mercy Most dear Jesus, filled with sorrow during the agony in the garden, covered with a sweat of blood while praying, have mercy on us, O Lord. Most dear Jesus, delivered into the hands of the wicked by a kiss, bound like a robber, and aban-doned by your disciples, have mercy on us, O Lord. Most dear Jesus, condemned to death by an unjust Council, taken as an evildoer before Pilate, and ridiculed by the wicked Herod, have mercy on us, O Lord. Most dear Jesus, publicly shorn of your garments, and most cruelly scourged at the pillar, have mercy on us, O Lord. Most dear Jesus, crowned with thorns, beaten and blindfolded, clothed in rich purple, and mocked, have mercy on us, O Lord. Most dear Jesus, likened to the infamous Barabbas, rejected by your people, and unjustly sentenced to death, have mercy on us, O Lord. Most dear Jesus, burdened with the weight of the Cross and led to the place of execution like a lamb to the slaughter, have mercy on us, O Lord. Most dear Jesus, reckoned with the wicked, blasphemed, and derided, and given gall to drink to miti-gate your pain, have mercy on us, O Lord.

April 9, 2017


Prayer of Mercy (continued)

Most dear Jesus, dying on the Cross in the presence of Mary, pierced with a lance that drew blood and water from your side, have mercy on us, O Lord. Most dear Jesus, taken down and placed in the arms of your Sorrowful Mother, have mercy on us, O Lord. Most dear Jesus, horribly bruised and marked with five wounds, anointed for burial and placed in a tomb, have mercy on us, O Lord. My Jesus, I thank you for dying on the Cross for my sins. Have mercy on us, O Lord. Amen.

Holy Thursday Adoration Dear Friends, Holy Thursday our adoration time will be from 8:30 PM to 12 midnight. I encour-age you as individuals and families to join in for this special silent prayer and adoration. Let us listen to Jesus who is asking every one of us, “Can you keep watch with me for one hour?” The altar of reposition will be in the cafeteria.

Good Friday Collection

Dear Friends, Please do remember that every year on Good Friday we take a collection for the Holy Land. This money is sent to the diocese and they send it to the Holy Land to maintain the holy places there and to support the different charities there. Please remember this and support generously this cause. Thanks

Prayer Before a Crucifix Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus while before Your face I humbly kneel and, With burning soul, pray and beseech You to fix deep in my heart lively sentiments Of faith, hope, and charity; true contrition for my sins, and a firm purpose of amend-ment. While I contemplate, with great love and tender pity, Your five most precious wounds, Pondering over them within me and calling to mind the words which David, your prophet, said to You, my Jesus; “They have pierced My hands and My feet, they have numbered all My bones.” Amen.
