ST. ANTHONY of PADUA Catholic Church and School
June 13, 2021 Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Our parish is an inclusive Catholic community brought together by our faith in Jesus Christ. Our Mission is to evangelize, educate, serve, and to love one
another as God loves us.”
Our readings for this weekend speak of majestic cedars on mountaintops and tiny mustard seeds in a fertile field. Symbols of hope and faith, they remind us of the power of God in our lives. Another image that may be closer to our own experiences here in Hawaii is the bamboo plant. A bamboo seedling planted in a field or marsh may not sprout above the surface for months or even years. An unsuspecting observer would be forgiven if he thought the farmer had failed in bringing the plant to maturity. But the wise sower knows that beneath the surface magic happens as the seeds begin their growth deep in the soil, and the bamboo flourishes and grows until one day it sprouts above the surface and continues to expand its beautiful branches.
Our faith is not unlike the bamboo plant, starting out like a small insig-
nificant seed. But, just as the sower tends the plant, God can take the seemingly impossible, the ordinary and the simple and make something wonderful with it. Oftentimes, we cannot see exactly how God is working in our faith lives. But God knows what has been planted in our hearts. Given time, that faith will take root. The insignificant will be made magnificent.
The history of Christianity is filled with illustrations of exactly this
point. Even in the darkest times of her doubt, a tiny Albanian nun speaks of “doing little things with great love” and transforms hearts far beyond the dirty streets of Kolkata. A Belgian farm boy travels halfway across the world, sleeps alone on a windy outcropping of land, and reminds us not to forget those aban-doned by our world. A shy Franciscan priest timidly steps before a gathering of the most powerful clergy of his city and speaks God’s words with power and strength, and our patron, St. Anthony of Padua, goes on to become a Doctor of the Church and one of the most quickly canonized saints in church history.
We too can do those little things with great love; little things that have
the power to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Maybe it doesn’t seem like “Church work” or “holy things”, but that smile to a neighbor, that shoulder offered in sympathy, that prayer for a lonely and con-fused friend, they all add up. We can be those seeds quietly growing in our own faith, sharing our love and friendship as joyful & caring bearers of the Good News. In God’s field, the vast collection of seemingly insignificant mustard seeds and bamboo sprouts may, given time and love, actually one day blossom into a beautiful garden of believers whose faith reveals to the world the loving face of our God.

Last Week’s Question: What is the connection between our patron St. Anthony of Padua and the Salem Witch Trials of the 1600s in Massachusetts? Answer: As strange as it may sound, there is a connection. St. Anthony died in 1231 after suffering from the long-term effects of ergotism, a painful condition that can result in, among other symptoms, muscle spasms and convulsions as well as swelling of the feet and hands. It can be caused by eating bread made from rye flour infected with the ergot fungus. Historians speculate the same illness occurred in Salem centuries later and gave its victims the appearance of being possessed or under the spell of a “witch”. Next Week’s Question: This question comes to use from a parishioner: “Can a lay person bless water and make it “holy”?
“Do Something Beautiful for God”
“Every human being comes from the hand of God, and we all know something of
God’s love for us through each person we encounter. Whatever our religion, we know that if we really want to love, we must first, before anything else, learn to forgive.”
(taken from the book entitled, “Do Something Beautiful for God: The Essential Teachings of Mother Theresa; Daily Reflection for June 13)
Be a Loving,
Responsible,
& Faithful
Steward of God’s Gifts!

St. Anthony of Padua Feast Day
The Feast Day of St. Anthony of Padua is on June 13th, but because June 13th is on a Sunday this year, the feast day will be celebrated here at our parish on
Monday, June 14th. Mass on Monday, June 14th, will be at 6:30 am and 10:00am.
The Novena took place June 5th-13th before the 6:30am Mass.
Born in 1195 in Lisbon, Portugal and given the name Fernando. At 15, he entered the religious order of St. Augustine and later joined the Franciscans, taking the name of Anthony. He travelled throughout Europe and eventually his talents for inspirational sermons came to the attention of St. Francis who invited him to teach Franciscan students. A student who had grown weary of the religious life decided to leave the friary and took with him Anthony’s psalter which at the time was a much valued item. Anthony prayed it would be found; the student was moved to return the psalter and rejoined the Franciscan Order. This is the reason for invoking St. Anthony for help in finding lost things.
Anthony eventually became the provincial superior of northern Italy; some of his sermons drew thousands of people that the churches could not hold them, so he went into the open fields to accommodate the large crowds. He died at 36 after having been a Franciscan for about 10 years. Pope Gregory IX was moved by the many miracles that occurred at Anthony’s tomb that he declared him a saint. (source: stanthony.org)
