Book of Remembrance.
This memorial book will be in the
St. Anthony’s sanctuary the entire month of November.

R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)
Sessions for adults seeking any of the initiation Sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation or First Eucharist are held on Tuesdays
at 6:30pm in the Conference Room of the Parish Center. If you have questions, please contact Martha @
[email protected] or 439-0124, ext. 114.
Reflection……..
•
True faith is not seen as much in outbursts of praise as it is in constant, steady prayer.
•
Stay faithful to God, as He is faithful to you.
•
Prayer must be persistent not reactionary or perfunctory.
•
Being indifferent to those in distress is not love or justice. Indifference is a violation of virtue. Engaging in the daily
struggle is the way of Christ.
THE NEW LITTLE ROCK SCRIPTURE STUDY SERIES ON ISAIAH has begun but there’s still room for
YOU to join us on Tuesdays at 7:00pm in the Board Room of the Parish Center. See what the great
prophet has to tell us about the Wisdom of the Lord in our age. New “students” always welcome.
Materials available from facilitator for $15.
Adult Confirmation: If you are Catholic, older than high school and have been thinking about investigating how to receive your
Confirmation, you’ve found it! Sessions are held on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:00pm in the Conference Room of the Parish
Center. New folks are welcome at any time… but NOW is a GREAT time to start with the formation process. Join us Tuesday or call

MANY THANKS TO OUR “RIBBON INSTALLATION” COMMITTEE:
The ribbon bookmarks have been placed in the Journeysongs books in the pews. Lucy, Irene, Kate,
Ellie, Nicole, Daniella, Lisa, Sam & Grace were our wonderful angels who got the job done in one
afternoon. They were fabulous ~ we surely couldn’t have done it without them! We’ll now be able to
mark 5 different pages in the books & keep track of the readings, the Order of Mass & some favorite
prayers and hymns. Thanks too to all who contributed to the Parish Improvement fund this month so
that we were able to invest in these ribbon-markers. Your assistance and stewardship in taking care of
this new investment is much appreciated.

Bautizos en español para niños se celebran cada
otro sábado del mes a las 9am en la Iglesia. 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 y sobre platicas Pre-Bautismales!
PLATICAS PRE-BAUTISMALES:
Las charlas pre-bautismales se dan ciertos
sábados del mes a las 9:00am. Pase a la oficina

oficina de la parroquia para reservar y registrar la
fecha de presentación durante las misa de

bienvenidos, sin embargo debido a las
distintas celebraciones que se llevan acabo

Domingo Mundial de
las Misiones
Mensaje del Santo Padre
Queridos hermanos y
hermanas:
Este año celebramos la Jornada
Mundial de las Misiones
mientras se clausura el Año de
la fe, ocasión importante para
fortalecer nuestra amistad con
el Señor y nuestro camino
como Iglesia que anuncia el
Evangelio con valentía. En esta
prospectiva, querría plantear
algunas reflexiones.
La fe es un don precioso de
Dios, el cual abre nuestra mente para que lo podamos conocer y
amar, Él quiere relacionarse con nosotros para hacernos
participes de su misma vida y hacer que la nuestra esté más llena
de significado, que sea más buena, más bella. ¡Dios nos ama!
Pero la fe, necesita ser acogida, es decir, necesita nuestra
respuesta personal, el coraje de poner nuestra confianza en Dios,
de vivir su amor, agradecidos por su infinita misericordia. Es un
don que no se reserva sólo a unos pocos, sino que se ofrece a
todos generosamente. ¡Todo el mundo debería poder
experimentar la alegría de ser amados por Dios, el gozo de la
salvación! Y es un don que no se puede conservar para uno
mismo, sino que debe ser compartido. Si queremos guardarlo
sólo para nosotros mismos, nos convertiremos en cristianos
aislados, estériles y enfermos. El anuncio del Evangelio es parte
del ser discípulos de Cristo y es un compromiso constante que
anima toda la vida de la Iglesia. «Que la Palabra del Señor siga
avanzando y sea glorificada» (2 Ts 3, 1): que este Año de la fe
haga cada vez más fuerte la relación con Cristo, el Señor, pues
sólo en él tenemos la certeza para mirar al futuro y la garantía de
un amor auténtico y duradero» (Carta Ap. Porta fidei, 15). Este es
mi deseo para la Jornada Mundial de las Misiones de este año.
Bendigo de corazón a los misioneros y misioneras y a todos los
que acompañan y apoyan este compromiso fundamental de la
Iglesia para que el anuncio del Evangelio pueda resonar en todos
los rincones de la tierra, y nosotros, ministros del Evangelio y
misioneros, experimentaremos “la dulce y confortadora alegría
de evangelizar” (Pablo VI, Exhort. Ap. Evangelii nuntiandi, 80).

SIEMPRE ESTAMOS NECESITANDO
CATEQUISTAS VOLUNTARIOS
¡FE VIVA!
Viviendo Nuestra Fe a través del Corazón de la Iglesia.
Se inicia la Campaña Anual del Obispo 2013-2014
Esta es una invitación para nuestra parroquia para unirse con las
demás 89 parroquias de la diócesis a colaborar unidos para
responder a las necesidades de nuestra iglesia Diocesana. Los
fondos son esenciales para el apoyo a seminaristas y vocaciones,
a los ministerios de catequesis, pastoral juvenil, y pastoral
familiar; los cuales finalmente benefician a todas las parroquias.
Otra vez se puede Dar por Teléfono Mobil, que permite a
todo feligrés con teléfono celular a “dar-por-texto” en
incrementos de $5 o $10 utilizando un código especial
asegurando un crédito de su donación a su parroquia. Este
método de dar tendrá también mucho
menos impacto en el presupuesto de su
familia cuando se extiende por varios
meses en su factura de teléfono celular.
Por favor asegúrese de recoger el Boletín Informativo ¡Fe Viva!
2013-2014 el cual explica el “Dar-por-Texto” para su parroquia
como también ofrece aspectos de importancia de la Campana
Anual. Otra vez este año, le invitamos a que haga su donativo a
la campana por Internet visitando:www.dioceseoffresno.org/baa
haciendo clic en “Dónate” para la Campaña Anual del Obispo.

ARDENT LONGING FOR GOD
October 20, 2013
~ PSALM 63: 2-9
O God, you are my God whom I seek; for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water.
Thus I have gazed toward you in the sanctuary to see your power and your glory. For your kindness is a greater good than life; my
lips shall glorify you. Thus will I bless you while I live; lifting up my hands, I will call your name. As with the riches of a banquet shall
my soul be satisfied, and with exultant lips my mouth shall praise you. I will remember you upon my couch , and through the nightwatches I will meditate on you. That you are my help, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy. My soul clings fast to you;
your right hand upholds me. Amen.
What is prayer?
Do what you can, and pray for
what you cannot, and so God will
grant you the ability to do it.
Georges Bernanos
(1888-1948, French writer)
Prayer is turning the heart toward God. When a person prays,
he enters into a living relationship with God. [CCC 2558-2565]
Prayer is the great gate leading into faith. Someone who prays no
longer lives on his own, for himself, and by his own strength. He
knows there is a God to whom he can talk. People who pray entrust
themselves more and more to God. Even now they seek union with the
Praying does not mean listening
to yourself speak; praying means
calming down and being still and
waiting until you hear God.
SOREN KIERKEGAARD
(1813-1855)
For me, prayer is a surge of the
heart; it is a simple look turned
toward heaven; it is a cry of
recognition and of love,
embracing both trial and joy.
ST. THERESE OF LISIEUX
(1873-1897)
one whom they will encounter one day face to face. Therefore, the
effort to pray daily is part of Christian life. Of course, one cannot learn
to pray in the same way one learns a technique. As strange as it
sounds, prayer is a gift one obtains through prayer.
What prompts a person to pray?
We pray because we are full of an infinite longing and God has
created us men for himself: “Our hearts are restless until they
rest in you” (St. Augustine). But we pray also because we
need to; Mother Teresa says, “Because I cannot rely on myself,
I rely on Him, twenty-four hours a day.
[CCC 2566-2567, 2591]
Often we forget God, run away from Him and hide. Whether we avoid
thinking about God or deny Him - He is always there for us. He seeks
us before we seek Him; He yearns for us, He calls us. You speak with
your conscience and suddenly notice that you are speaking with God.
“They should seek God in the
hope that they might feel after
Him and find Him. Yet He is not
far from each one of us.”
ACTS 17:27
You feel lonely, have no one to talk with, and then sense that God is
always available to talk. You are in danger and experience that a cry
for help is answered by God. Praying is a human as breathing, eating,
and loving. Praying purifies. Praying makes it possible to resist
temptations. Praying removes fear, increases energy, and gives a
second wind. Praying makes one happy.
How are the Psalms important for our prayer?
Suddenly I experience the silence
like a presence. At the heart of
this silence was the One who is
Himself silence, peace and
tranquility.
Georges Bernanos
(1888-1948)
Article courtesy of YOUCAT pages 258, 260
The Psalms, along with the Our Father, are part of the
Church’s great treasury of prayers. In them the praise of God
is sung in an ageless way.
There are 150 Psalms in the OLD TESTAMENT. They are a collection of
songs and prayers, some of them several thousand years old, which
are still prayed today in the Church community - in the so-called
Liturgy of the Hours. The Psalms are among the most beautiful texts in
the world literature and move even modern readers immediately by
their spiritual power.
