PRAYER FOR THE RETURN OF NON-PRACTICING CATHOLICS
Good Shepherd, You never cease to seek out the lost, to call
home the stray,
to comfort the frightened, and to bind up the wounded.
I ask You to bring the people I hold in my heart back to the
practice of the Faith,
and to remove all obstacles that prevent them from receiving
Your abundant mercy, which flows sacramentally
through the heart of Your holy Church.
Through the intercession of Mary, the Mother of God, their
Guardian Angels,
their Patron Saints, and the ever-prayerful St. Monica, may You
pardon
their sins and unshackle them from whatever hinders their
freedom to come
Home. For You, O Good Shepherd, have loved
us to the end and offered Yourself to the Father for the
salvation of all. Amen.
Prayers for the return of a non-practicing Catholic also should
be accompanied by sacrificial and private acts of fasting, and
almsgiving in their name.

Helping Hands is the group that provides
luncheons following the
funeral of a parish member.
We have a great list of people willing to
help out with the luncheons (both men
and women); however, we are in need of
a few more people willing to be in
charge. Full directions are given to the
leaders, including amounts, recipes, etc.
for various sizes of luncheons.
We are planning the annual luncheon
for Helping Hands leaders; this is a great
time to see what it’s all about, ask
questions, and maybe consider joining
the leader group. The date and time will
be announced in a couple of weeks.
Please consider volunteering for this
very special ministry, especially as a
leader. We welcome any calls or
questions to the Parish Office if you need
more information before you make a
commitment.
Think about it;
pray about it;
call us.

It’s been a couple months
since Tom Townsend sold
a winning 50/50 ticket, and
as usual, it couldn’t have come at a
better time for the drawing winner. His
grandson, Noah Townsend was the
June drawing winner. Noah is a
medical student, who just ordered the
text books for the next semester of
college. The $350.00 Noah won won’t
pay for all his books but will help him
out a little. Grandpa Tom earned the
seller incentive.
2018 annuals are still available for
only $6.00 each; We currently have
235 reserved annual tickets. You can
buy an annual for anyone you wish.
They are a great gift for the hard-to-
buy-for person.
Annuals can be purchased many
different ways: You can stop at the
church office during the week; at the
50/50 table in the Narthex on the 4th
Sunday of any month; or at K of C
Breakfasts on the second Sunday of
the month (September - May).

St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church Temperance, Michigan
As we enter into this holiday weekend, we take leave of a week
of festivities. Among the barbeques, family gatherings, and
fireworks displays I do hope that we have taken some time to
reflect and to give thanks for the blessings that we have been
celebrating. Thankfulness is the natural result of realizing that
we have benefited from the generosity and benevolence of another.
Moreover, the spirit of thankfulness is of utmost importance in the
spiritual life. St. Ignatius of Loyola used to instruct his Jesuit
novices: “The heart of evil in this world is ingratitude”. What
does the great saint mean by this teaching? The essence of the
teaching is simple. If we knew and truly appreciated how much God
has done for us then our hearts would overflow toward Him with love
and gratitude. Ergo, each and every sin is in fact either a result
of our lack of knowledge of the Divine benefits we have received
(and continue to receive daily) or a most wicked contempt for our
divine benefactor. Of course, our own human weakness of faith at
times renders this reality difficult to comprehend interiorly. This
is why it becomes so important to spend some time reflecting upon
our blessings. So what blessings do we celebrate this season? The
fourth of July is the holiday that we celebrate our independence as
a nation. This nation was founded upon principles that assure its
citizens certain liberties and freedoms. We are granted the right
of freedom of thought and expression—even if the expression is
unpopular. We are granted the right not to be unjustly coerced into
sacrificing our property, our homes, and our livelihoods by
governmental authorities. We are granted the liberty to defend our
homes and families against unjust aggression. We are granted the
assurance that we will not be compelled by governmental authorities
in matters of religion and worship. These are but a small sample of
the blessing we have inherited as citizens of the United States of
America. But what grants us such “rights”? From what authority do
they come? We might be tempted to point to the American
Constitution or to the Bill of Rights, but we must bear in mind
that the documents of this nation have changed since the founding
of the nation. Furthermore, if the government is the grantor of
such rights then the government is also capable of revoking these
rights. What Caesar giveth, Caesar can taketh away. Did the
founders of our nation envision the establishment of a government
that was the ultimate authority and grantor of liberty for its
people? While the notion of a government by the people, of the
people, and for the people, ruling by the consent of the governed
is a concept familiar to all who have studied in a government
class; the founders did not view the establishment of rights to be
founded upon the authority of the State or the authority of the
masses. As the Declaration of Independence itself testifies: We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. The very foundation of the belief that people
have certain rights that ought not to be infringed upon by any
government or sovereign is found in the belief that men and women
have been created in the image and likeness of God and are
deserving of such liberties in keeping with such dignity.
Consistent with this thinking, the founders of our nation
envisioned the State as the protector of such rights that were
accepted and acknowledged as originating from the Divine Creator
Himself. So as we celebrate the festivities at hand, our nation’s
founding, the blessings and liberties we enjoy, the anniversary of
the foundation of St. Anthony Church, etc., let us take the time to
reflect that all such blessing come from the God who has created us
and loved us. Let our hearts grow in gratitude for His benevolence,
in esteem for the men and women who manifested and defended these
blessings, and compassion for those who today do not share in such
blessings. May the sweet name of Jesus always be in our hearts and
on our lips. God Love You, Fr. Robert Slaton

Catholicism and Cannibalism by Joe Sixpack
The other day, my wife was having a discussion with one of her
friends, who just happens to be an anti-Catholic Protestant
Fundamentalist. When the topic turned to the Most Holy Eucharist
and Communion, the lady dismissively said, “That’s cannibalism.”
Her reaction is wrong, sounds crude, is an insult to any Catholic
listening, but a reaction that is actually older than the Eucharist
Itself. Before I craft an answer to her accusation, let’s begin by
defining what the Catholic understanding of the Most Holy Eucharist
is. Catholics in communion with the Church believe that Jesus gives
us Himself under the appearances of bread and wine, fully and
completely; He is truly present in his body, blood, soul and
divinity, in order to give Himself to the Father for our salvation,
and to give Himself to us as divine nourishment for our souls. In
other words, the Most Holy Eucharist is Jesus Christ! Belief in
receiving the Eucharist is cannibalism is older than the Eucharist
Itself, and it’s found in the Bible. Let’s look at excerpts from
the sixth chapter of St. John’s Gospel. The sixth chapter of St.
John’s Gospel (verses 22-24) shows the crowds gathered around Jesus
the day before seeking Him out at a different place. When they told
Him they were seeking Him out, Jesus cut right to the chase so He
could get directly to His message: “Truly, truly, I say to you, you
seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill
of the loaves” (a reference to miraculously feeding 5,000 of them
[v.10] the day before; verse 26). Then He went on to tell them that
He will give them a food that will not perish and will lead to
eternal life. The Jews were incredulous that He said He would lead
them to eternal life, that He couldn’t possibly top manna in the
desert. But Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to
me shall not hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst”
(v.35). He went on to explain through verse 40 that He was the
bread sent from heaven by the Father. Up to this point, Jesus’
followers understood Him to be speaking symbolically, but He took
that misconception right away from them. He went on to tell them
that He was the bread they would have to eat to inherit eternal
life. Here is where the misunderstanding of cannibalism came in.
“The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, ‘How can this man
give us his flesh to eat?’ So Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I
say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink
his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks
my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who
eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As
the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he
who eats me will live because of me’” (v. 52-57) Now Jesus’
followers understand Him to be speaking literally. He said, “…my
flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed” (v. 55); the
word “indeed” made His statement © Sixpack Productions #109
-
imperative. Plus, He prefaced His statement with the phrase
“truly, truly,” which He always used to emphasize the importance of
what He was about to teach. It’s no wonder that Jesus' followers
became indignant, as they were repulsed because they thought He was
talking about cannibalism! “After this many disciples drew back and
no longer went about with Him” (v. 66). If they misunderstood Jesus
by taking Him literally, why didn’t He stop them and explain what
He really meant? Since this all dealt with eternal issues, didn’t
He have a moral obligation to explain Himself? Every other time
they misunderstood Him, Jesus explained Himself so there would be
no misunderstanding. Why not now? Because Jesus meant to be taken
literally! It’s just that they thought he did indeed mean a literal
cannibalism. But that isn’t at all what He meant. Peter handled it
the way the others should have. When the others decided it was wise
that they “no longer went about with him,” Jesus turned to the
apostles and asked, “Will you also go away?” Speaking for the
twelve, Peter said, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words
of eternal life; and we have believed, and have come to know, that
you are the Holy One of God” (v. 68-69). In other words, what Peter
was saying was that he didn’t know how Jesus was going to do what
he said, but he knew it wasn’t going to be an immoral act like
cannibalism, and that Jesus would expose it in His own good time.
Peter was not to be disappointed. In Luke 22:15 Jesus said, “I have
earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.”
Imagine that! Jesus knows He is about to die, yet He earnestly
desires to eat His last meal. If you were on death row, knowing you
were about to die, would you be anxious for your last meal?
Certainly not! That would be insane… unless you were about to do
something infinitely more important than your impending death. And
that’s what happened. The first Mass was said and Jesus fulfilled
His promise when He said, “This is my body which is given for you”
(Luke 22:19). He completed it when He said, “This cup which is
poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood” (v. 20). Far
from cannibalism, Jesus gave us His Real Presence in the Holy
Eucharist. Our detractors tell us John six and the various accounts
of the last supper are merely symbolic. Are they right? Let’s see.
After talking about the last supper and the Mass in the 11th
chapter of I Corinthians, Paul wrote, “Whoever, therefore, eats the
bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be
guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man
examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For
any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and
drinks judgment upon himself” (v. 27-29). Now if the Eucharist is
just a symbol, how in the world can you profane the body and blood
of the Lord and eat and drink judgment on yourself? To receive
Communion unworthily is the mortal sin of sacrilege, in addition to
the sin(s) that made you unworthy. (By the way, this is why it’s
enshrined in both Canon Law and the Catechism of the Catholic
Church that you must be free of mortal sin before you can receive
Holy Communion. If you don’t know what mortal sins are, you’d
better learn; it would be dreadful to learn about them when you are
standing before God for your judgment!) So, you decide. Are
Catholics cannibals because we receive the body and blood of Christ
in Holy Communion, or are we receiving the greatest gift ever
bestowed on mankind by a good and loving God? This is What We
Believe...Why We Believe It.

Catholic Services Appeal
2018 The CSA is a required collection taken up for the general
operational expenses of the Archdiocese of Detroit. It helps to
subsidize Catholic institutions that may not necessarily be
connected to or funded by a particular parish. Among these
special services are Campus Ministry, Telecommunications,
Hospital and Prison Chaplaincies, Central Service Offices,
which provide direct assistance to individual parishes, the
Marriage Tribunal, and the like. Since the CSA provides for 62%
of the operating budget of the Archdiocese, we are assessed or
taxed a specific amount we are asked to meet. Our
assessment is based upon many factors, including parish
registration, Sunday collections, and financial status of the
area
within our parish boundaries.
The amount assessed to St. Anthony Parish this year is $36,632.
In order to reach our goal, the recommended pledge
amount will be $250 from each family. Please consider making
your pledge and/or contribution to CSA in the next few
weeks.
For your convenience, pledge forms can be found at the bottom of
this page. Please complete the form and designate the
amount of your pledge and the payment plan you prefer and return
to the Parish Office. Pledges may also be made by
calling the Parish Office 734-854-1143; sending your pledge via
email ([email protected]) or by stopping by the Parish
Office during regular business hours.
Your pledge can be made in several ways: paid in full and
returned with your pledge form; a down payment returned
with your pledge form, with the balance divided into quarterly
payments, or divided evenly among 9 monthly payments.
You may also make your pledge online by going to:
http://statemp.aodcsa.org ; or follow the link on our website:
stanthonytemperance.org. Credit card and automatic withdrawal
payments may be made with the online giving option.
Please note: If you sign up to make payments on your pledge, the
payment schedule will begin in July 2018.
Please remember that we are required to make an accounting of
all CSA cards for our Parish, so even if you are unable to
pledge, we ask that you indicate that to the Parish Office as
well.
I am grateful for your continued stewardship and prayers.
May God Be Blessed!
