Easter Prayer
CAN’T MAKE IT TO MASS? HAVE FAITH, NOT FEAR!! So what can Catholics do to stay true to their faith when they are unable to receive the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist?
Watch Father Courtright and Father Antony Samy celebrate daily and Sunday Mass at St. Anthony’s *Live* on Facebook each morning at 9:00 AM. You will also find this same Mass each day by 10:00 AM on the St. Anthony’s YouTube channel! Search for St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in YouTube, or click the link on our website at www.stanthonyfargo.org to take you there.
The Diocese of Fargo is live-streaming daily and Sunday Mass through their website at fargodiocese.net.
The Diocese of Fargo sponsors a broadcast of the Sunday Mass every Sunday morning at 10:30 AM on WDAY/WDAZ TV in Fargo and Grand Forks.
Listen to daily Mass at 9:00 AM, Monday-Friday, on our Catholic radio station (Real Presence Radio) by tuning into AM 1280 or streaming online through your device.
If online or TV Mass is not available, you may do the following at home: 1. Say the Profession of Faith (the Nicene Creed) 2. Read from the readings for that day's Mass (found in this week’s bulletin under the daily
Mass Schedule or through the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website at http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/).
3. Say the Our Father
Whether you watch a televised or online Mass or pray together at home, pray this prayer of spiritual communion:
My Jesus, I believe that you are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I long for you in my soul. Since I cannot now receive you Sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though you have already come, I embrace you and
unite myself entirely to you; never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

OUR EASTER GIFT - THREE DAYS: SEARCH FOR THE BOY MESSIAH Please take advantage of the donation from one of our generous parishioners and pick up a copy of Dynamic Catholic’s new book, Three Days: The Search for the Boy Messiah. In the Bible, we are told Jesus was lost in the Temple for three days when he traveled to Jerusalem for Passover with Mary and Joseph. Why did he stay behind? What did he do? Who did he meet? Where did he sleep? Was he ever in danger? This Biblical novel is a compelling tale about 12-year-old Jesus, based on the second chapter of Luke’s Gospel. This book will grip your imagination – as you explore the Temple and experience the drama of ancient Hebrew traditions with the boy Messiah. Copies will be available at the church starting Easter Monday! Pick yours up today. FREE RESOURCES Dur ing this time of uncer tainty, many organizations are offer ing their online ver-sions free! Following are great options for daily readings and gospel reflections:

DEBUNKING ANNULMENT FALLACIES An annulment is a declaration that a mar r iage was invalid from the very beginning due to variety of factors. It could be that one or both were incapable at the time of giving consent or that their consent was in some way invalid. The children remain legitimate even if an annul-ment is granted How can we know what an annulment actually is? Let’s take a look at some of the common fallacies about the church’s gift of annulments. Contact Fr. Courtright if you have questions about the annul-ment process. JPII TUITION RAFFLE Your child or grandchild could receive one FREE year of JPII Catholic School tuition!

SEEING GOD IN THE PANDEMIC How have you seen God working in this pandemic? How has God’s grace touched you? Are you doing anything different to increase your faith? We would love to share some examples here in the bulletin of ways that our parishioners are overcoming and growing through the trials of this pandemic. Please submit your thoughts to [email protected] or mail or drop them off in the Parish Office. STEWARDSHIP MOMENT “Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.” (Colossians 3:2) Do you put God first in all things? Possessions, money, power, ego can easily become gods to many of us. Do a quick check of what is important to you. Is God at the very top of the list? If not, your priorities need to be re-adjusted. Don’t let earthly things become a god before God. This is also the first commandment – I am the Lord your God, you shall not have any strange gods before me.
