Third Sunday of Easter
“I saw the Lord ever before me, with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed. Therefore my heart has been glad and my tongue has exulted; my flesh, too, will dwell in hope, because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld, nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption.  You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.”
Acts 2:14, 22-33

A Message from Father Jesús:  
Here at St. Anthony, we have been blessed with such wonderful 
opportunities to worship and grow in our faith. I am aware that we still have a long way to where we need to be. Because of this, we are having a council joint meeting, Pastoral Parish Council and Finance Council, to make some decisions to move forward and address some urgent needs of our parish. Among those items on the table is the Church’s roof. This is an ongoing problem that now needs urgent response as it is becoming worse. In the next weeks we will inform you how we are going to proceed as we are expecting this project to be expensive.
​Please remember that if you would like to make a donation to St. Anthony Bread, our food pantry, please either write a separate check, use the monthly envelope or within your weekly donation, indicate how much you would like us to transfer to them.
​

​Un Mensaje del Padre Jesús:
Aquí en St. Anthony, hemos sido bendecidos con oportunidades para adorar y crecer en nuestra fe. Soy consciente de que aún nos queda un largo camino por recorrer para llegar al punto en el que necesitamos estar. Debido a esto, celebraremos una reunión conjunta de consejos — el Consejo Pastoral Parroquial y el Consejo de Finanzas— con el fin de tomar decisiones que nos permitan avanzar y atender algunas necesidades urgentes de nuestra parroquia. Entre los temas que se encuentran sobre la mesa está el techo de la iglesia. Este es un problema que lleva mucho tiempo, pero ahora requiere una respuesta urgente, dado que su estado se está deteriorando cada vez más. En las próximas semanas les informaremos sobre el curso de acción que seguiremos, ya que prevemos que este proyecto tendrá un costo elevado.
Por favor, recuerden que si desean hacer una donación a "St. Anthony Bread" —nuestro dispensario de comida—, pueden hacerlo de alguna de las siguientes maneras: emitiendo un cheque por separado, utilizando el sobre mensual destinado a tal fin o, al realizar su donación semanal, indicando la cantidad específica que desean que transfiramos a dicho ministerio.

Our Lady
Dec 12 - Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe
Our Lady of Guadalupe Apparition:
On December 9, 1531 a poor Aztec Indian named Juan Diego was walking near a hill at Tepeyac just northwest of Mexico City when our blessed Mother Mary appeared. Mary told him to tell the bishop to build a chapel where he was standing. Juan Diego obeyed her direction but the Spanish bishop, Fray Juan de Zumarraga, asked him for a sign verifying his claim.
Juan Diego returned to the same spot, on December 12, and found dark pink Castilian roses blooming. These roses did not grow naturally in Mexico and were native to the archbishop’s home in Spain, and they were blooming when it was very cold!
Juan Diego gathered up the roses in his mantle also known as tilma. He went and he opened his tilma to pour out the roses for the bishop, revealing then on the fabric the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. All were amazed at what they saw and believed Juan Diego’s story.
Replicas of Juan Diego’s mantle made with the same type of cactus fiber materials last generally only 20-40 years before disintegrating. But after almost 500 years Juan Diego’s tilma is still well preserved with the image of our Lady.
  • Dr. Philip S. Callahan research biologist at the University of Florida, in his book “The Tilma Under Infra-Red Radiation” published in Jan 1, 1981 indicates that:  . . . “there is absolutely no protective coating of varnish . . . Despite this . . . the robe and mantle are as bright and colored as if the paint was newly laid.”
12 Dic - Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
La Aparición de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe:
El 9 de diciembre de 1531, un indio azteca pobre llamado Juan Diego caminaba cerca de una colina en el Tepeyac, al noroeste de la ciudad de México, cuando apareció nuestra Santísima Madre. María instruyó a Juan Diego a que le dijera al obispo que construyera una capilla donde él estaba. Juan Diego obedeció sus instrucciones, pero el obispo, el español Fray Juan de Zumarraga, le pidió un signo que acreditara su afirmación.
Juan Diego regresó al mismo lugar, el 12 de diciembre, y encontró floreciendo rosas de Castilla de color rosa intenso. Esas rosas no crecían naturalmente en México, y además estaban floreciendo cuando hacía mucho frío, sin embargo, eran nativas de España la tierra del arzobispo.
Juan Diego recogió las rosas en su tilma. Fue y abrió su tilma para derramar las rosas en el suelo para el obispo, y la tela mostró la imagen de la Virgen de Guadalupe. Todos se asombraron de lo que vieron y creyeron la historia de Juan Diego.
Las réplicas del manto de Juan Diego hechas con el mismo tipo de materiales de fibra de maguey (agave - cactus) duran generalmente de 20 a 40 años antes de desintegrarse. Pero después de casi 500 años, la tilma de Juan Diego se conserva en perfecto estado con la imagen de la Virgen.
  • El biólogo investigador Dr. Philip S. Callahan de la Universidad de Florida, en su libro “The Tilma Under Infra-Red Radiation” publicado el 1 de enero de 1981 indica que:   . . .  “No hay absolutamente ninguna capa protectora de barniz  . . . A pesar de esto . . . la túnica y el manto son tan brillantes y coloreados como si estuvieran recién pintados".
