St. Anthony of Padua Church www.sapparish.org 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ September 25, 2016 In today’s gospel Jesus offers a warning about living selfishly in his parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus. The Rich Man holds sumptuous feasts and dresses in fine clothes. But de- spite his affluence he does nothing to relieve the painful hunger and debilitating condition of his neighbor Lazarus. He neglects to love his neighbor as he loves himself and is sent to hell for his lifestyle and desire for self-gratification. The Rich Man represents those who spend their money on their own personal pleasures with no regard for sharing their material possessions with the poor and needy in their own neighborhood. Good stewards realize the practical implications of not only loving God, but loving their neighbor as they would love themselves. Who are the less fortunate in our neighborhood? Do we share a portion of our own blessings with them? UPCOMING EVENTS Parish School of Religion: Classes are on Tuesdays at 6:15 pm in the auditorium.

On September 4, 2016, Blessed Mother Teresa be- came Saint Teresa of Calcutta. She was a woman who gave us an extraordinary example of Christian disci- pleship and stewardship by her faith, simplicity and service to women and men without considering their race, religion or nationality. She was born Agnes Bojaxhiu in Albania on August 26, 1910, and at age 18 went to Ireland to join the Sisters of Loreto follow- ing what she discerned to be a call to become a mis- sionary. She was sent to India in 1929, and began her novitiate in Darjeeling near the Himalayan mountains. Eight years later she made her solemn vows and took the name Teresa after Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, the patron saint of missionaries. From there she taught at the Loreto convent school in Calcutta for almost twenty years. Though on September 10, 1946, Sister Teresa had an extraordinary conversion experience, what she later described as “the call within the call.” From Blessed Teresa to Saint Teresa: A Stewardship Saint for September dedicated educator, she was increasingly disturbed by the desperate poverty in Calcutta. While traveling by train from Calcutta to the Loreto convent in Darjeeling she experienced interior visions that led her to the conviction that Christ was calling her to serve “the poorest of the poor.” In 1948 after a few months of medical training, Sister Teresa ventured out into the slums to tend to the needs of the destitute and starving. Her first year was very difficult. She had no income and had to resort to begging for food and supplies. She experienced lone- liness, doubt and the temptation to return to the com- fort of convent life. But at the beginning of 1949 she was joined by a group of young women who wished to be a part of her ministry. In 1950 “Mother” Tere- sa’s community was formally recognized by the Vati- can. Its mission was to care for, in her own words, “the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone.” In 1952, she opened a hospice for the poor. Then she established several leprosy clinics throughout Calcutta, providing medication, bandages and food. In 1955, she created a home for orphans and homeless youth. The Missionaries of Charity soon began to attract both recruits and charitable donations, and by the 1960s had opened hospices, orphanages and leper homes all over India. Her first mission out- side of India was in Venezuela in 1965, then in Rome, Tanzania and Austria. During the 1970s the congrega- tion started missions in dozens of countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and the United States. In 1979, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Mother Teresa died on September 5, 1997, departing a religious community with over 4,000 sisters operating 610 missions in 123 countries and aided by more than one million co-workers. Former U.N. Secretary-General, Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, said of Blessed Mother Tere- sa: “She is the United Nations. She is peace in the world.” “If you judge people, you have no time to love them.” Mother Teresa TRY * SHOW * LIVE GOD’S MERCY St. Teresa of Calcutta

XXVI Domingo Ordinario ~ 25 de Septiembre de 2016 ~ 26th Sunday of Ordinary Time
En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús presenta una advertencia acerca de vivir egoístamente,
en su parábola de Lázaro y el Hombre Rico. El Hombre Rico realiza suntuosos banquetes y
viste finas ropas. Pero a pesar de su opulencia él no hace nada para aliviar la dolorosa con-
dición de hambre y debilidad de su vecino Lázaro. Él rechaza amar a su vecino del mismo mo-
do que se ama a sí mismo y es enviado al infierno por su estilo de vida y
su deseo de auto-satisfacción. El Hombre Rico representa a aquellos que
gastan su dinero en sus placeres personales sin preocuparse de compartir
sus posesiones materiales con el pobre y necesitado en su propio vecin-
dario. Los corresponsables piadosos son conscientes de las implicaciones
prácticas de amar, no sólo a Dios, sino a su prójimo, como se aman ellos
mismos. ¿Quiénes son los menos afortunados en nuestro vecindario?
¿Compartimos nosotros una porción de nuestras bendiciones con ellos?

El día 4 de septiembre de 2016, la Beata Madre Teresa será Santa Teresa de Calcuta. Ella fue una mujer que nos dio un extraordinario ejemplo de discipulado y corresponsabilidad cristiana por su fe, sencillez y servicio a mujeres y hombres sin considerar su raza, religión o nacionalidad. Nació en Albania el 26 de agosto de 1910, su nombre era Agnes Bojaxhiu, a la edad de 18 años se dirigió a Irlanda para unirse a las Hermanas de Loreto siguiendo lo que ella había discernido como llamado para ser misionera. Ella fue enviada a la India en 1929, e inició su noviciado en Darjeeling cerca de los montes del Himalaya. Ocho años más tarde hizo sus votos perpetuos y tomó el nombre de Teresa en honor de Santa Teresa de Lisieux, la santa patrona de los misioneros. Desde entonces, ella enseñó en la escuela del convento de Loreto, en Calcuta, durante casi veinte años. Aunque era una educadora dedicada, ella estaba cada vez más perturbada por la desesperante pobreza en Calcuta. El 10 de septiembre de 1946, la Hermana Teresa tuvo una extraordinaria experiencia de conversión, que ella describió más tarde como “el llamado dentro del llamado.” De Beata Teresa a Santa Teresa: Santa de la Corresponsabilidad para el Mes de Septiembre El 10 de septiembre de 1946, la Hermana Teresa tuvo una extraordinaria experiencia de conversión, que ella describió más tarde como “el llamado dentro del llamado.” Durante un viaje en tren, de Calcuta hacia el convento de Loreto en Darjeeling, ella experimentó visiones interiores que la guiaron a la convicción de que Cristo la llamaba a servir “a los más pobres de los pobres.” En 1948, después de algunos meses de entrenamiento médico, la Hermana Teresa se aventuró a ir a los suburbios para atender las necesidades de los indigentes y hambrientos. El primer año fue muy difícil. Ella no tenía ingresos y
tuvo que recurrir a la alternativa de pedir alimentos y provisiones. Ella experimentó soledad, duda y la tentación de regresar al confort de la vida del convento. Sin embargo a principios de 1949, se unió a ella un grupo de mujeres que deseaban ser parte de su ministerio. En 1950, la comunidad de la Madre Teresa fue formalmente reconocida por el Vaticano. Su misión era cuidar, en sus propias palabras, “del hambriento, el desnudo, el desamparado, el lisiado, el ciego, el leproso, de todos aquellos que se sintieran no deseados, no amados, rechazados por la sociedad, personas que habían llegado a ser una carga para la sociedad y eran evitados por todos.” En 1952, ella abrió un hospicio para los pobres. Después estableció varias clínicas para leprosos en todo Calcuta, proveyendo medicamentos, vendajes y alimentos. En 1955, ella creó un hogar para huérfanos y para jóvenes desamparados. Las Misioneras de la Caridad, pronto empezaron a atraer personas que se unían al grupo y donaciones de caridad para ayudarlas, por lo que, para los 60s habían abierto hospicios, orfanatos y hogares para leprosos en toda la India. La Madre Teresa se expandió entonces globalmente. Su primera misión fuera de la India fue en Venezuela, en 1965, después en Roma, Tanzania y Austria. Durante los 70s la congregación inició misiones en docenas de países en Asia, África, Europa y los Estados Unidos. En 1979, ella fue galardonada con el Premio Nobel de la Paz. La Madre Teresa murió el 5 de septiembre de 1997, dejando una comunidad religiosa con más de 4,000 hermanas operando en 610 misiones, en 123 países, y asistida por más de un millón de colaboradores. El pasado Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas, Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, dijo de la Beata Madre Teresa: “Ella es las Naciones Unidas. Ella es paz en el mundo.”
“Si juzgas a la gente, no tienes tiempo para amarla."

Fill me with the fruits of Your Spirit, Lord. Fill me with love, so that I seek to understand and appreciate the rich variety and
diversity of life that surrounds me. Fill me with joy, so that I celebrate Your presence in each and every moment I am on this earth. Fill me with peace, so that I know how to ease those angry and sometimes violent urges that well up inside of me. Fill me with patience,
so that I stop rushing long enough to witness Your miraculous work taking place all around me and within me! Fill me with kindness, so that I take the extra time to help the one in need, even when it isn't convenient for me. Fill me with faithfulness, so that I place
my mind, heart and all that I do in the service of Your Will. Fill me with gentleness, so that others know that I believe in a God who loves and cares for all people. Fill me with
self-control, so that I act not on my impulses and urges, but rather on my beliefs and values, which are rooted in You. Fill me with these fruits of Your spirit, Lord!

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!
St. Teresa of Calcutta, you allowed the thirsting love of
Jesus on the Cross to become a living flame within you,
and so became the light of His love to all.
Obtain from the Heart of Jesus
(here make your request).
Teach me to allow Jesus to penetrate and possess my
whole being so completely that my life, too, may radiate
His light and love to others. Amen.
Santa Teresa de Calcuta, quien permitió que la sed de
amor de Jesús en la Cruz para convertirse en una
llama viva dentro de ti, y así se convirtió en la luz
de su amor a todos. Ante el Corazón de Jesús
(Aquí se hace la petición).
Enséñame a permitir que Jesús penetre y posee todo mi
ser tan completamente que mi vida, también, se puede
irradiar su luz y su amor a los demás. Amén.
