St. Anthony of Padua Church www.sapparish.org 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ August 21, 2016

Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time August 20/21, 2016

The Gospel reading today starts with a question: “Lord, will only a few people be

saved?” Jesus offers only a simple reply: Strive to enter through

the narrow gate. Many will try to enter and will not be able. Good

stewards know there is only one, narrow gate. Not everything will

fit. This narrow gate has no room for our accomplishments. No

room for our money. No room for our possessions. No room for

anything else but those who’ve been good stewards of the Gospel.

We can’t custom build our own gates either. There is only one,

narrow gate that happens to be open for a time, but for how long?

What is our plan of action to get through that gate?

Edith Stein was born in 1891 to a Jewish family

living in Breslau, Germany. From a very young

age she was intellectually curious and loved to

learn. She rejected her family’s Jewish piety and

even God because her observation was that people

acted as though they did not believe in God. She

was a brilliant university student and graduated

summa cum laude with a doctoral degree in philos-

ophy. She became the assistant to one of the most

influential philosophers of the 20th century, Ed-

mund Husserl, who recognized and admired her

intellectual gifts. In 1921 Edith had a conversion

experience. At age 30, she began reading the auto-

biography of St. Teresa of Avila in a friend’s li-

brary and couldn’t put it down. “This is the truth!”

she exclaimed. She converted to Catholicism and

was baptized on New Year’s Day, 1922. Edith

soon became well regarded as a Catholic philoso-

pher and author. She left her university appoint-

ment as Husserl’s assistant and took a position

teaching at a Dominican college for women teach-

ers in Speyer, Germany. While there, she studied

the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas and pub-

lished the first German translation of his treatise

The Truth. She also lectured widely to Catholic

women’s groups throughout Europe. Edith was

passionate about her teaching, writing and lectures,

but she yearned for a deeper relationship with God.

In 1933 she entered religious formation in the

Carmelite community at Cologne, Germany and

made her final vows on Easter Sunday 1935, taking

the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. As the

persecution of Jews in Germany intensified in the

late 30s, Sister Teresa Benedicta was taken out of

the country. On New Year’s Eve 1938, she secretly

crossed the border into the Netherlands where she

was welcomed by the Carmelite community at

Echt. There she would write her final book, The

Science of the Cross, a study of the spirituality of

St. John of the Cross. The German Army invaded

the Netherlands in 1940 and Sister Teresa’s situa-

tion would again become perilous. She and her

sister Rosa, also a Catholic convert, were eventual-

ly arrested and transported by cattle train to Ausch-

witz, where they perished in a gas chamber on

August 9, 1942. In his homily at the time of her

canonization in 1998, St. John Paul II said: “St.

Teresa Benedicta of the Cross says to us all: ‘Do

not accept anything as

the truth if it lacks

love. And do not ac-

cept anything as love

which lacks truth!’”

The feast day of Saint

Teresa Benedicta of

the Cross is August 9.

XXI Domingo Ordinario ~ 21 de Augusto de 2016 ~ 21st Sunday of Ordinary Time

Vigésimo Primer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Fin de Semana del 20-21 de Agosto de 2016

La lectura del Evangelio de hoy comienza con una pregunta: “Señor, ¿sólo unos

cuantos serán salvados?” Jesús da una simple respuesta: intenten

entrar por una estrecha puerta. No todo entrará por ella. Esta

estrecha puerta no tiene espacio para nuestros logros. Tampoco

para nuestro dinero. Ni para nuestras posesiones. No tiene

espacio para nada más que para aquellos que han sido buenos

corresponsables del Evangelio. Tampoco podemos construir

nuestra propia puerta personalizada. Solamente hay una estrecha

puerta que estará abierta por un tiempo determinado, pero ¿por

cuánto tiempo? ¿Cuál es nuestro plan de acción para entrar por

esa puerta?

Edith Stein nació en 1891 en el seno de una familia

judía en Breslavia, Alemania. Desde muy joven fue

intelectualmente curiosa y amaba aprender. Ella

renunciaría a la devoción judía de su familia e

incluso a Dios, ya que su observación era que las

personas actuaban como si no creyeran en Dios.

Fue una brillante estudiante universitaria, obtuvo el

Doctorado en Filosofía con el grado de summa

cum laude. Fue discípula de uno de los filósofos

más influyentes del siglo XX, Edmund Husserl,

quien reconoció y admiró sus dones intelectuales.

En 1921, Edith tuvo una experiencia de

conversión. A la edad de 30 años, comenzó a leer

la autobiografía de Santa Teresa de Ávila en la

biblioteca de una amiga y no pudo hacerla a un

lado. “¡Esta es la verdad!” Exclamó. Ella se

convirtió al catolicismo y fue bautizada el día de

Año Nuevo en 1922. Edith fue pronto considerada

como filósofa católica y autora. Ella dejó su puesto

en la universidad como asistente de Husserl y tomó

la responsabilidad de enseñar en un Colegio

Dominico para profesoras mujeres en Speyer,

Alemania. Mientras se encontraba ahí, estudió la

filosofía de Santo Tomas de Aquino, y publicó su

primera traducción al idioma alemán de su tratado

The Truth. Ella dio también conferencias, en

términos generales, para grupos de mujeres

católicas en toda Europa. Edith era apasionada de

su enseñanza, sus escritos y sus lecturas, pero ella

anhelaba una relación más profunda con Dios. En

1933 ingresó a la formación religiosa en la

comunidad Carmelita en Colonia, Alemania, e hizo

sus votos perpetuos el Domingo de Pascua de

1935, tomando el nombre de Teresa Benedicta de

la Cruz. Al intensificarse la persecución de los

judíos en Alemania a finales de los años 30s, la

Hermana Teresa Benedicta fue sacada del país. La

noche de Año Nuevo de 1938, ella cruzó

secretamente la frontera hacia Holanda donde fue

acogida por la comunidad Carmelita en Echt. Ahí

ella escribiría su último libro, The Science of the

Cross, un estudio de la espiritualidad de San Juan

de la Cruz. La Armada Alemana invadió Holanda

en 1940 y la situación de la Hermana Teresa sería

peligrosa otra vez. Ella y su hermana Rosa,

convertida también al catolicismo, fueron

arrestadas eventualmente y transportadas en un

tren de ganado a Auschwitz, donde perecieron en

una cámara de gas el 9 de agosto de 1942. En su

homilía, el día de la canonización en 1998, San

Juan Pablo II dijo: “Santa Teresa Benedicta de la

Cruz nos dice a todos nosotros: “No aceptéis como

verdad nada que

carezca de

amor. Y no

aceptéis como

amor nada que

carezca de

verdad” El día

de la fiesta de la

Hermana Teresa

Benedicta de la

Cruz es el 9 de

agosto.

What does the Catechism of the Catholic Church say?

Paragraph 1817:

Hope is the theological virtue by which we desire the kingdom of heav-

en and eternal life as our happiness, placing our trust in Christ's

promises and relying not on our own strength, but on the help of the

grace of the Holy Spirit. "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope

without wavering, for he who promised is faithful." [Heb 10:23] "The Holy Spirit... he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ

our Savior, so that we might be justified by his grace and

become heirs in hope of eternal life." [Titus 3:6-7]

You will show me the path of life, the fullness of joy in your

presence, at your right hand happiness for ever. (cf. Ps16:11)

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.

Legion of Mary

All welcomed. The Legion of Mary is a lay

Apostolic association of Catholics who, with the sanction of the

Church and under the powerful leadership of

Mary Immaculate, serve the Church and their

Prayer for Priests

O Jesus, our great High

Priest, Hear my

humble prayers on

behalf of your priest,

Father [N]. Give him a

deep faith, a bright and

firm hope and a

burning love

which will ever

increase in the course of

his priestly life. In his

loneliness, comfort him

in his sorrows,

strengthen him in his

frustrations, point out to

him that it is through

suffering that the soul is

purified, and show him

that he is needed by the

Church, he is needed by

souls, he is needed for

the work of

redemption. O loving

Mother Mary, Mother

of Priests, take to your

heart your son who is

close to you because of

his priestly ordination,

and because of the

power which he has

received to carry on the

work of Christ in a

world which needs him

so much. Be his

comfort, be his joy, be

his strength, and

especially help him to

live and to defend the

ideals of consecrated

celibacy. Amen.
