Hurry-there’s only a limited number available! John the Baptist was the son of Zachary, a priest of the Temple in Jerusalem, and Elizabeth, a kinswoman of Mary who visited her. He was probably born at Ain-Karim southwest of Jerusalem after the Angel Gabriel had told Zachary that his wife would bear a child even though she was an old woman. He lived as a hermit in the desert of Judea until about A.D. 27. When he was thirty, he began to preach on the banks of the Jordan against the evils of the times and called men to penance and baptism "for the Kingdom of Heaven is close at hand". He attracted large crowds, and when Christ came to him, John recognized Him as the Messiah and baptized Him, saying, "It is I who need baptism from You". When Christ left to preach in Galilee, John continued preaching in the Jordan valley. Fearful of his great power with the people, Herod Antipas, Tetrarch of Perea and Galilee, had him arrested and imprisoned at Machaerus Fortress on the Dead Sea when John denounced his adultrous and incestuous marriage with Herodias, wife of his half brother Philip. John was beheaded at the request of Salome, daughter of Herodias, who asked for his head at the instigation of her mother. John inspired many of his followers to follow Christ when he designated Him "the Lamb of God," among them Andrew and John, who came to know Christ through John's preaching. John is presented in the New Testament as the last of the Old Testament prophets and the precursor of the Messiah. His feast day is June 24th and the feast for his beheading is August 29th. Did you know that St. Anthony’s is the ONLY Catholic church in the Fresno area that broadcasts the Sunday Mass? We do, every Sunday on IMMACULATE HEART RADIO (1250AM) at 11:00am.

Bless your church by raising up dedicated and generous leaders from our families and friends who will serve your people as Sisters, Priests, Brothers, Deacons, and Lay Ministers. Inspire us as we grow to know you, and open our hearts to hear your call. We ask this in Jesus name Amen. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life: the “narrow gate” that we must enter through in order to be saved. Invite the Lord into your marriage and let Him strengthen, renew and rekindle your marriage sacrament. Attend a Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend!

Se requiere que los padres y los padrinos del niño/a asistan a una charla de preparación bautismal. Los padrinos de bautismo deben ser católicos practicantes que asistan regularmente a la misa y comulguen para proveer el ejemplo necesario al niño/a. Los padrinos pueden ser personas solteras; pero si es un matrimonio deben estar casados por la Iglesia. Se les recuerda a los padres que no deben posponer el bautismo de sus hijos. La enseñanza de la Iglesia Católica es que los niños deben ser bautizados a pocas semanas después de haber nacido. Pase a la oficina para mas información! PLATICAS PRE-BAUTISMALES: Las charlas pre-bautismales se dan ciertos sábados del mes a las 9:00am o jueves una ves al mes a las 6:30pm. Pase a la oficina de la parroquia para anotarse y ver calendario de fechas de charlas disponibles. PRESENTACIONES: Las familias que desean presentar a sus hijos recién nacidos, de 40 días, o 3 años en la iglesia, necesitan pasar antes a la oficina de la parroquia para reservar y registrar la fecha de presentación durante las misa de 7:00pm o 1:00pm. NOTA: Todos los niños son bienvenidos, sin embargo debido a las distintas celebraciones que se llevan acabo durante la misa, si la familia no anota a sus hijos para la presentación no podrá hacer la presentación en la misa. Prioridad de las fechas disponibles se dará a las familias que están registradas en la parroquia. QUINCEAÑERAS: St. Anthony of Padua ofrece misas tradicionales para celebración de Quince Años. La familia debe asistir a misa regularmente y la joven debe haber recibido su Primera Comunión y estar activa en la parroquia.

AÑO DE LA FE - 25 de agosto, 2013 REFLEXIONES SOBRE EL REINO DE DIOS En las lecturas de hoy se nos presenta un triple mensaje. En primer lugar, todos somos llamados a proclamar la gloria de Dios y a recibir la salvación. En segundo lugar, la salvación no es para los que no están preparados. Como un padre amoroso, Dios corrige con ternura y disciplina a aquellos a los que ha llamado. Frecuentemente, el sufrimiento es parte del proceso de formación. Aprendemos a aceptarlo como Jesús aceptó su cruz. En tercer lugar, aquellos que son tratados con desprecio y arrogancia por los que se creen justos, tendrán también un lugar en el reino de Dios. Necesitamos aprender estas lecciones con el corazón. Recuerda cómo te emocionabas al principio, cuando escuchabas la Palabra de Dios. ¿De qué manera la Buena Nueva que una vez te estremeció ha echado raíces en tu vida? Contempla de nuevo las cruces que te han tocado. ¿Cómo toca y transforma a otros la forma en que aceptas y creces en tus sufrimientos? Finalmente, ¿existen algunas personas que supones no serán invitadas al Reino de Dios? ¿Por qué piensas eso de ellos? Por un momento, imagínatelos a ellos adentro y a ti afuera. ¿Cómo sería esto posible? Haz siempre tu mayor esfuerzo para entrar por la puerta angosta, proclamando alegremente la gloria de Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. Robustezcan sus manos cansadas y sus rodillas vacilantes; caminen por un camino plano, para que el cojo ya no se tropiece, sino más bien se alivie. — Hebreos 12:12, 13 Vivamos la Palabra de Dios Muchos de nosotros deseamos que ciertas personas estuvieran fuera del alcance del amor de Dios. Desechar esa ilusión puede ser “más un motivo de pena que de alegría; pero después produce frutos de paz y salvación a los que la han sufrido” (Hebreos 12:11). Tal vez debamos abandonar nuestra actitud farisaica tanto de palabra y de obra anunciemos la Buena Nueva del amor inclusivo de Dios. Derechos de autor © 2012, World Library Publications.

CHARISMS (from the Greek charis=gift, grace, favor, charm): a name for the gratuitous gifts of the Holy Spirit as they are described, for example, in 1 Corinthians 12:6ff; the gift of healing, miraculous powers, prophecy, speaking in tongues, and the gift of interpreting them, wisdom, knowledge, firmness in faith, and so on. Also included are the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit; there are special gifts for governing, administering, performing works of charity, and proclaiming the faith. What does it mean to say: I believe in the Holy Spirit? To believe in the Holy Spirit means to worship him as God just like the Father and the Son. It means to believe that the Holy Spirit comes into our hearts so that we as children of God might know our Father in heaven. Moved by God’s Spirit, we can change the face of the earth. [683-686] Before his death, Jesus promised his disciples that he would send them “another Counselor” (Jn 14:16) when he was no longer with them. Then when the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the disciples of the original Church, they learned what Jesus had meant. They experienced a deep assurance and joy in their faith and received particular CHARISMS; in other words, they could prophesy, heal and work miracles. To this day there are people in the Church who possess such gifts and have these experiences. What role does the Holy Spirit play in the life of Jesus? Without the Holy Spirit, we cannot understand Jesus. In His life the presence of God’s Spirit, whom we call the Holy Spirit, was manifest in a unique way. [389-691, 702-731] In Jesus Christ, God himself was made and allowed us, so to speak, to cast a glance at the intimacy of God himself. And there we see something totally unexpected: … The mysterious God is not infinite loneliness, he is an event of love ...The Son who speaks to the Father exists, and they are both one in the Spirit, who constitutes, so to speak, the atmosphere of giving and loving which makes them one God. POPE BENEDICT XVI, Vigil of Pentecost 2006 It was the Holy Spirit who called Jesus to life in the womb of the Virgin Mary (Mt 1:18), endorsed Him as God’s beloved Son (Lk 4:16-19), guided Him (Mk 1:12) and enlivened Him to the end (Jn 19:30). On the Cross, Jesus breathed out His Spirit. After His Resurrection, He bestowed the Holy Spirit on His disciples (n 20:22). At that the Spirit of Jesus went over to His Church: “As the Father has sent me, even so I send you” (Jn 20:21). Under what names and signs does the Holy Spirit appear? The Holy Spirit descends upon Jesus in the form of a dove. The first Christians experience the Holy Spirit as a healing ointment, living water, a raging storm, or a flaming fire. Jesus Christ himself speaks about the Counselor, Comforter, Teacher, and Spirit of Truth. In the sacraments of the Church, the Holy Spirit is bestowed through the imposition of hands and anointing with oil. [691-693] The peace that God established in His covenant with mankind after the flood was indicated to Noah through the appearance of a dove. Pagan antiquity, too, considered the dove to be a symbol of love. And so the early Christians understood immediately why the Holy Spirit, the love of God in person came down in the form of a dove when And no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor 12:3b Jesus allowed himself to be baptized in the Jordan. Today the dove is recognized worldwide as the sign of peace and as one of the great symbols for the reconciliation of man with God. (cf. Gen 8:10-11). DR.
