St. Anthony of Padua Church ~ www.sapparish.org ~ 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ July 23, 2017
The Holy Spirit brings life and peace.
Today we hear about God as a Father who is both merciful and just, about God who is mighty, and about the Spirit who comes to our aid. Let us turn to the life-giving Holy Spirit for guidance and grace so we may continue growing in holiness, so we bear an effective witness to the Gospel, and so we may experience Christ’s gift of peace more fully in our lives and hearts.
In the Book of Wisdom, we hear that God is both mighty and lenient. The second reading reminds us that the Spirit helps us in our weakness, and inter-cedes for us according to God’s will. In the Gospel, Jesus teaches about God’s kingdom, and offers parables of grain and weeds to explain it.

The Importance of
Eucharistic Adoration
The importance of Eucharistic
Adoration is shown in the fact that
the Church has a ritual that regulates
it: the Rite of Eucharistic Exposition
and Benediction. This is an
extension of the adoration of the
Blessed Sacrament which occurs in
every Mass: "Behold the Lamb of
God, behold him who takes away the
sins of the world. Blessed are those
called to the supper of the Lamb."
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament
flows from the sacrifice of the Mass
and serves to deepen our hunger for
Communion with Christ and the rest
of the Church. The Rite concludes
with the ordained minister blessing
the faithful with the
Blessed Sacrament.
Some important prayers that are used
during this rite include the Anima
Christi and the Tantum Ergo.

Prayer to Saints Anne and Joachim,
Parents of Our Lady
Good Saint Ann and Saint Joachim,
parents of Mary and grandparents to
Jesus, be with me and all
grandparents that we may be wise
and loving, may share our time and
stories and sense of humor, and may
enjoy and not spoil too much the
grandchildren who are close to our
hearts, for they are the sign of God's
life to us. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, be
with our grandchildren and all other
grandchildren that they may love and
respect their grandparents and all
older people, may remember to
call, visit or write, and grow in
wisdom, age and grace before God.
Amen.

El Espíritu Santo trae vida y paz.
Hoy oímos acerca de Dios como un Padre que es a la vez misericordioso y justo, acerca de Dios que es poderoso, y del Espíritu que viene en nuestra ayuda. Volvamos al Espíritu Santo que nos da la vida para que nos guíe y nos haga gracia para que podamos seguir creciendo en santidad, por lo que damos un testimonio eficaz del Evangelio y así podamos experimentar el don de Cristo de paz más plenamente en nuestras vidas y corazones.
En el Libro de la Sabiduría, oímos que Dios es poderoso y indulgente. La segunda lectura nos recuerda que el Espíritu nos ayuda en nuestra debilidad e intercede por nosotros de acuerdo a la voluntad de Dios. En el Evangelio, Jesús enseña sobre el reino de Dios, y ofrece parábolas de grano y malezas para explicarlo.

Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica
Párrafo 691
"Espíritu Santo" es el nombre propio
de aquel a quien adoramos y
Glorificamos con el Padre y el Hijo.
La Iglesia ha recibido este nombre del
Señor y lo profesa en el Bautismo de
sus nuevos niños. El término
"Espíritu" traduce la palabra hebrea
ruah, que, en su sentido primario,
significa aliento, aire, viento. Jesús
usa la imagen sensorial del viento para
sugerir a Nicodemo la novedad
trascendente de aquel que es
personalmente el aliento de Dios, el
Espíritu divino. Por otro lado,
"Espíritu" y "Santo" son atributos
divinos comunes a las tres personas
divinas. Al unir los dos términos, la
Escritura, la liturgia y el lenguaje
teológico designan a la persona
inexpresable del Espíritu Santo, sin
ningún posible equívoco con otros
usos de los términos
"espíritu" y "santo".
La importancia de la
Adoración Eucarística
La importancia de la Adoración
Eucarística se muestra en el hecho
de que la Iglesia tiene un ritual que
lo regula: el rito de la Exposición y
Bendición Eucarística. Esta es una
extensión de la adoración del
Santísimo Sacramento que se
produce en cada misa: "He aquí el
Cordero de Dios, he aquí lo que
quita los pecados del mundo
Bienaventurados los que son
llamados a la cena del
Cordero.". Exposición del Santísimo
Sacramento fluye desde el sacrificio
de la misa y sirve para profundizar
nuestra hambre de comunión con
Cristo y el resto de la Iglesia. El rito
concluye con el ministro ordenado
bendecir a los fieles con el
Santísimo Sacramento.
Algunas oraciones importantes que
se utilizan durante este rito incluyen
el Alma de Cristo y el Tantum ergo .

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraph 691
"Holy Spirit" is the proper name of the one whom we adore and
glorify with the Father and the Son. The Church has received this
name from the Lord and professes it in the Baptism of her new
children. The term "Spirit" translates the Hebrew word ruah, which,
in its primary sense, means breath, air, wind. Jesus indeed uses the
sensory image of the wind to suggest to Nicodemus the transcendent
newness of him who is personally God's breath, the divine Spirit. On
the other hand, "Spirit" and "Holy" are divine attributes common to
the three divine persons. By joining the two terms, Scripture, liturgy,
and theological language designate the inexpressible person of the
Holy Spirit, without any possible equivocation with other uses of the
terms "spirit" and "holy."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nicodemus said to him, “How can a person once grown old be born
again? Surely he cannot reenter his mother’s womb and be born
again, can he?” Jesus answered, “Amen, amen, I say to you, no one
can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.
What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit. Do
not be amazed that I told you, ‘You must be born from above.’

Prayer for Priests
Dear Lord,
We pray that the
Blessed Mother will
wrap her mantle of
protection around
Your priests and
through her interces-
sion may they be
strengthened in their
ministry.
We pray that Mary
will guide Your priests,
dear Lord, to follow
her own words, “Do
whatever He tells you”.
May Your priests have
the heart of St. Joseph,
Mary’s most chaste
spouse. May the
Blessed Mother’s own
pierced heart inspire
them to embrace all
who suffer at the foot
of the holy cross for the
love of God the Father.
May Your priests be
Holy, as you are holy,
And through the power
of the Holy Spirit,
may they be filled with
the fire of Your love
seeking nothing but
Your greater glory
and the salvation of
souls. Amen!
St. John Vianney,
Pray for us!
