SUNDAY THOUGHT
Luke 10:38-42
In today’s Gospel we hear the familiar story of Jesus’
visit to the home of Martha and Mary. For one who
wishes to follow Jesus, the qualities of these two
characters – Mary’s contemplative silence and Martha’s
enthusiastic activity – ae not meant to put one in the
position of choosing one over the other. Jesus asks
anyone who wishes to be His disciple to be well
grounded in both – attentive prayer while actively
serving others. A person who is centered in this fashion
is what the spiritual life would truly call contemplative
in nature. While we might be surprised at this, a
contemplative isn’t a special person, but a person called
to be a special kind of contemplative. We each bring
uniqueness to the contemplative experience by just
being who God made us to be. We can define the act of
contemplation as simply looking lovingly on the Lord
as He makes himself visible in and through the events
of our daily lives. The contemplative person does what
he or she needs to do while remaining centered on
God’s presence within them. When we truly pay
attention to God, then we end up paying attention to all
of God’s people and all of God’s creation.

SIXTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
JULY 17, 2016
WOMEN’S FAITH MINISTRY
The parish is introducing a new ministry centered on
adult women at all stages of life who wish to enrich
their faith and deepen their relationship with Christ.
Educational programs, group support, speakers and
meaningful activities will focus on prayer, spiritual
direction, and fellowship. If you would like the support
and encouragement of other women in your journey of
faith, then consider attending this first program offered
through St. Anthony’s Women’s Faith
Ministry. With an accompanying
memoir, “My Sisters, the Saints,” the
group will learn how the life of a
Christian woman, Colleen Carroll
Campbell, parallels the lives of five
recognized women saints. You may be surprised at
how much you have in common with them.
The program will take place from 7-8 p.m. in the
Church Meeting Room (former nursery room ) every
Wednesday beginning August 3 through September 14.
If interested, your RSVP is needed for ordering
materials by calling the parish rectory at (440) 8422666 or by email at [email protected] no later
than July 20, 2016.
CELEBRATING THE SAINTS
Saint Thomas Aquinas, Priest and Doctor of the Church
(1225-1274)
An Italian nobleman, Thomas joined the newly
formed Dominican friars in Naples around the year
1244. His desires were initially thwarted when his
brothers kidnapped him and locked him away in the
family fortress. They felt the mendicant order of Friars
Preachers (Dominicans) below the families dignity,
but Thomas was willing to wait them out by spending
his time studying while imprisoned. Once freed, he
went to study theology at the University of Paris under
Saint Albert the Great. After receiving his doctorate,
he taught, preached and wrote with intense energy. His
greatest work is the Summa Theologica, still
recognized as an unparalleled synthesis of the
Church’s theology.
At the command of Pope Urban IV, Thomas
penned the liturgy for the feast of Corpus Christi and
from this we draw the Benediction hymns Tantum
Ergo Sacramentum and O Salutaris Hostia. Another
Eucharistic hymn, Te Adoro Devote, was originally a
personal prayer written by Thomas when he attended
his second Mass of the day, not as celebrant but as
participant. The moving poetry of this hymn has
inspired over sixteen English translations.
In 1273, moved by an intense experience he
had while saying Mass, Thomas left off writing. The
next year, he fell gravely ill while on route to the
Second Council of Lyons. He was brought Viaticum
his death bed. “I receive thee, ransom of my soul,” he
declared. “For love of thee have I studied and kept
vigil, toiled, preached, and taught.” He died on March
7, 1274. Saint Thomas Aquinas feast is celebrated on
January 28th.

THANK YOU
In today’s bulletin you will find a copy of the results of Annual Parish Carnival. As you can
see, the results were substantially better than last year. This at least reflects the five beautiful
days of weather we were blessed with this year. Raffle ticket sales were up and carnival
attendance seemed to be better. All in all, regardless of the bottom line, the report shows the
tremendous spirit and generosity of so many parishioners who, rain or shine, support this
yearly parish endeavor.
I wish to thank all who participated in making this year’s carnival a great success. Particularly a word of
thanks goes to the Carnival Chairs, Dale and Janet Armbruster, Mike McGinty, Gerry Ulaszewski and Randy
Harris and our Booth Captains and booth workers and dealers. A grateful thank you is also extended to those of
you who bought or sold raffle tickets and attended the carnival.
A big hand to all of you for a job well done.
Fr. Dale and Fr. Peter
