Saint Anthony Catholic Church
DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY
ON THIS SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER, THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES CELEBRATES
the Holy Spirit’s gift of unity to the infant Church, while John’s Gospel shows
the Risen Jesus’ Divine Mercy bestowing the reconciliation from which
such unity is born. Fittingly, therefore, we rejoice today with the Church
throughout the world, as Pope Francis canonizes the Pope of Unity, Saint
John XXIII, and the Pope whose devotion named today as the Sunday of
Divine Mercy, Saint John Paul II.
Let us pray...
ƒ That through the prayers of Pope Saint John XXIII, the God of peace may
help leaders of nations, in their thoughts and decisions, to reject every
escalation of hatred and violence; and that all human relations may reveal
the victory of Jesus risen and alive, let us pray to the Lord.
ƒ That through the prayers of Pope Saint John Paul II, the God of life may
inspire a passionate commitment to human dignity among men and women
of culture, science, and government; and that, in every human person, honor
may be given to Jesus risen and alive, let us pray to the Lord.

Scripture Reflections for
SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER/
DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY
„ GOSPEL
LIVING
the
WORD
Sunday,
April 27, 2014
THIS WEEK’S FOCUS:
SEEING IS NOT ALWAYS BELIEVING
In today’s world, we look for evidence that things
are true. When it comes to the Resurrection, the only
evidence that others have of its truth is the witness
of those who follow the Risen Lord.
„ FIRST READING
All who believed were together and had all things in
common (Acts 2:42-47).
Luke tends to be very optimistic in his view of
community life. He was trying to bring pagans to
conversion, so he wanted them to see how wonderful
Christian life was. In this sense, we could call him the
community’s first vocation director. The members of that
community are dedicated to the breaking of the bread
(Eucharist), prayer and mutual support.
„ SECOND READING
God has given us new birth to a living hope through the
resurrection of Jesus from the dead (1 Peter 1:3-9).
We are adopted as God’s children with an inheritance
that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading and allows
us to live forever with God. We should view suffering
from this perspective. Peter argues our suffering will lead
to our purification and we learn what is important and
worth living/dying for. It purifies our intentions. It
teaches us to trust without limit in the providence of God.
It also changes our view of sin—it no longer is the
breaking of rules but living in a manner that falls short of
the dignity to which we have been called. Jesus taught us
that we are too good and precious to sell ourselves for
such a cheap price. He thought so highly of us that He
died for us. Should we not value ourselves as highly?
Eight days later Jesus came and stood in their midst
(John 20:19-31).
Jesus’ first apparition to the disciples filled them with
fear, but Jesus greets them with the words “Peace be
with you.” There are no recriminations or accusations.
Rather, there is total acceptance. Jesus breathes them.
Through this gesture, He breathes His Holy Spirit into
them. The handing of the Holy Spirit is associated with
the forgiveness of sins. The Spirit is the Father’s love
for Jesus and His love for the Father and their love for
us. It is only through a powerful outpouring of love
that our sins can be forgiven. Thomas did not want to
believe in the resurrection until he had concrete
evidence. We cannot always have absolute proof for
our faith. We often must trust and take a leap of faith.
Jesus is truly risen in the flesh (Thomas could touch
His wounds). Those who believe without seeing (those
in the generations after that of the eyewitnesses) are
commended for believing.
„ REFLECTION
Both the second reading and the Gospel give us an
opportunity to reflect on “seeing” and “believing.” In the
Gospel, Thomas says that he will not believe unless he
sees the risen Jesus himself. Jesus obliges him by
appearing to him, but also saying, “Blessed are those who
have not seen and have believed.” In the second reading,
the author makes much the same point. “Even though you
do not see Him now yet believe in Him, you rejoice with
an indescribable and glorious joy.” In both of these
readings, it is a willingness to believe what goes beyond
the evidence of our eyes that is praised. But it remains
part of human nature to desire a sign, some evidence
prompting us to an act of faith. In the first reading, the
Acts of the Apostles, it seems that people come to faith in
the risen Jesus because of the kind of life that they see His
followers living. They see people dedicated to living a life
together, who willingly share their goods, and who break
bread with each other “with exultation and sincerity of
heart.” Because of the witness of the Christian community
in Jerusalem, “the Lord added to their number those who
were being saved.” They were the sign that Jesus was
truly risen. Even today it remains the role of the Church
to be a sign of the resurrection of Jesus, which can
prompt those who witness our love and joy to believe in
the risen life of the One whom they cannot see. The
Church is not simply a place where we go to be spiritually
nourished; it is a reality in which we all have the role of
serving as a sign of the reality of Easter.

people that graciously and generously shared their individual faith journey
and their knowledge of our Catholic Faith with the ten adults who sought

THE POWER OF AN UNBORN BABY
Dear Friends and Family,
Sometimes a baby saved can change
the world before he even enters it...
JUST TWO DAYS AGO, WE RECEIVED the much anticipated
news that "Baby T" had arrived after 40 long hours of labor. His
mother and grandmother had come to us seeking an abortion.
By listening to their concerns with compassion and assuring
them there was help available, they left with a sense of relief.
Later, after seeing the ultrasound of her 6-week-old baby's
heartbeat, this courageous young woman chose life.
But her journey would only get more difficult, and our work was far from over...
THIS 21-YR-OLD FACED FOUR MONTHS of intense morning sickness, and our nurses coached
her through it. The father of the baby threatened in-vitro paternity testing, so we obtained legal
counsel for her. It seemed nothing would come easy for her, and yet with each struggle she grew
more and more in love with the baby growing inside her.
Then just two days before she went into labor, she broke the news to us that her baby had
been diagnosed with Down syndrome. Instead of succumbing to despair over yet another trial in
her pregnancy, this brave young woman told us that she could never imagine living without her
baby and was up for any challenge. She told us that her parents (whom she originally feared would
kick her out with the news of her pregnancy), would pat her stomach and talk to the baby.
And the baby's father?
HE NOW ACCOMPANIED HER enthusiastically to her doctor appointments and provided
incredible support when the diagnosis came. In her words, he was "in love" with the life inside her.
"Baby T" reminds us that every life is sacred and has a purpose.
HE HAS DRAWN THIS FAMILY TOGETHER in a powerful circle of love. In the words of his doting
grandmother, "he is perfect in our eyes". His mother says she is now staunchly "pro-life" and wants
to give witness to those in similar situations.
WE CONTINUE TO PRAY IN THANKSGIVING FOR ALL OF YOU - our volunteers, donors, and prayer
warriors - for participating in our lifesaving work. And above all, we thank God who continually
shows us the value of His creation.
In Faith,
The Board and Staff of Waterleaf Women's Center, Inc.

PRO LIFE REFLECTION
and PRAYER
"Everyone who does evil
hates the light and avoids
coming near the light so
that his misdeeds may
not be exposed."
— JOHN 3:20
REFLECTION
On the first morning of Jesus'
Resurrection, the women having seen the empty tomb,
ran back to the disciples. Peter and John, having heard
the women's story, ran toward the tomb. And in the
end, of course, all the apostles ran into the world to
announce this greatest news of history.
We, too, must run to announce the Gospel of Life
with vigor and to save the unborn with urgency.
PRAYER
Lord, fill me with the vigor of Easter each day
so that I may announce the victory of Life!

"Talk, Talk, Talk... No!"
"My experience is what I feel in
front of the tabernacle, when I go
in the evening to pray before the
Lord. Sometimes I nod off for a
while; this is true, for the strain of
the day more or less makes you
fall asleep, but He understands. I feel great comfort
when I think of the Lord looking at me. We think we
have to pray and talk, talk, talk... No! Let the Lord
look at you. When He looks at us, He gives us strength
and helps us to bear witness to Him." — Pope Francis

Mission Statement
We, the members of St. Anthony Catholic Church, gather together to worship and celebrate the sacraments, especially
the Eucharist, as we strive to live the Gospel in our daily lives. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we are called to invite,
inform, inspire and ignite the community in our faith journey by fostering stewardship through sharing of our gifts of
time, talent and treasure. We are further called to share our faith through active evangelization and charitable outreach.
