Fundraiser for High School
Parishioner Many of you may know that one of our
high school age parishioners, Jonathan
Scout, has a tumor in his brain. He had
surgery on it on Tuesday at Mott
Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor. On the
Facebook page, the statement read
“during the surgery, they were able to tell
that this is a fast growing, invasive tumor
associated with malignant tumors. The
tumor has attached itself to [the] brain
stem and other tissues in that area. The
surgeons were only able to remove 30%
of it and send it off for analysis. We
should know on Friday what type of
malignant tumor it is and what will be the
best course of action. He is in great
spirits.”
Please continue to pray for Jonathan and
see the flier regarding the fundraiser they
are doing to pay for the hospital costs. It
is a “gofundme.com” type of fundraiser.
Your prayers and support will be greatly
appreciated by Jonathan and the family.
Heartbeat of Monroe The Executive Director of Heartbeat of
Monroe, Margaret Horvath, sent a nice
letter thanking us for our generosity. The
Baby Bottle Fundraiser carried out here at
St. Anthony raised a total of $733 ($423
in cash and checks and $310 in change).
Thank you for supporting this
wonderful organization.
May God Be Blessed!
The Dublin Mystic: Matt Talbot
By K. V. Turley http://catholicexchange.com/the-dublin-
mystic-matt-talbot
On 8 June 1925, the following news
item appeared in the Irish Independent:
“Unknown Man’s Death”.
An elderly man collapsed in Granby
Lane [Dublin] yesterday, and being taken
to Jervis Street Hospital he was found to
be dead. He was wearing a tweed suit, but
there was nothing to indicate who he was.
What was not reported was the unusual
discovery when he was taken to hospital.
He was wearing heavy chains: some
wrapped around his legs, others on his
body. Mortuary staff puzzled over not just
who he was but, also, the meaning of the
chains.
The newspaper report had appeared on a
Monday morning. Later that night, police
ushered a woman into the mortuary. She
identified the body as that of her brother:
Matt Talbot. A nursing nun present asked
about the chains. The dead man’s sister
replied simply that it was something he
wore, and with that, they were placed in
the coffin and the lid closed.
That was not the whole story though;
the chains were part of the mystery of the
man who had died. They were as
symbolic as they were real. The man’s life
having been a ‘crossing over’ from the
servitude of vice to the freedom of those
in chains for Christ.
Talbot was born in 1856 into a large
Catholic family living in semi-poverty in
Dublin. His schooling was slight. He was
barely literate when he went to work full-
time aged just 11 years old. For the rest of
his life his occupation was as an unskilled
labourer. He was exposed to harsh
working conditions, at times harsh bosses
and to a social environment that
necessitated some form of release from
this – this was found by many in the city’s
public houses. Matt was no different, so
much so that by his teenage years he was
hopelessly addicted to alcohol.
Matt had the reputation of being a hard
worker. Increasingly, however, that work
ethic was simply the means to finance his
‘hard drinking’. As it grips, vice of
whatever sort is hard to counter,
especially when the will to oppose it
diminishes, so it was with Matt Talbot –
what had began as an escape soon became
a prison of moral and spiritual
degradation. And, the more time he spent
there the more Matt needed alcohol to
shield him from that reality. Those around
watched and, shaking their heads,
concluded that Talbot was a lost cause.
But they were to be proved wrong and in
a most unexpected way.
Fittingly, the second phase of Matt’s life
began outside a pub. That day he had no
money, and, therefore, hoped that some of
his drinking fraternity would stand him a
drink. As each acquaintance filed past,
none offered to buy him anything. On that
summer’s day in 1884, something
occurred that was to change Matt Talbot
forever. Humiliated by the indifference of
his erstwhile friends, he turned and
walked straight home. His mother was
surprised to see him – at that early hour,
and sober. He proceeded to clean himself
up before announcing he was going to a
nearby seminary to ‘take the pledge’ – a
promise to abstain from all alcohol. His
mother was mystified by this and fearful.
She knew that pledges made to God were
not something to be taken lightly. She
counselled him against doing any such
thing unless he was intent on persevering.
He listened, and then left.
Matt did take the pledge that day. He
also went to Confession. It was as
dramatic as it was decisive. It had all the
hallmarks of a genuine conversion, one as
sincere as it was needed. Nevertheless, a
conversion takes but a moment, the work
of sanctity a lifetime: after years of
drunkenness, still arraigned against Matt
was a weakness of character and a world
that revolved around alcohol. It looked as
if the odds were stacked against him, but
this was not solely a human undertaking.
Into this ‘land of captivity’, from ‘across
the Jordan’, there came invisible armies to
fight alongside this now embattled soul,
one embarked upon a war of liberation.
This was not a new spiritual combat, but
rather one that had commenced many
years previously when this poor man’s
parents brought a child to a parish church
and asked for baptism in the name of the
Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
After his conversion, not much changed,
outwardly at least: Matt continued with
his employment in the docks. He
continued to work hard, now respected
more than ever by his fellow workers and
employers who noticed that he had started
to give his wages to his mother rather than
straight to a publican. Nevertheless, work
alone cannot satisfy the human heart.
Previously, when not working his life had
been many hours spent in public houses,
but, now, he had turned his back on that.
He had been ‘born anew’, but like a

(“The Dublin Mystic”, continued)
newborn was vulnerable to the world he
inhabited. With no material substance to
cling to he turned inward, to the Spirit
that dwells within each baptised soul.
And, as he did so, he commenced upon an
adventure that few could have imagined
possible.
From then on, along the Dublin streets,
there moved a mystic soul. Each morning
at 5AM, dressed in workman’s clothes a
man knelt outside a city church waiting
for the doors to open and the first Mass to
begin. After the Holy Sacrifice, he would
pray for a time before going to one of the
timber yards near the docks. There, he
laboured all day; but there were periods
in the day when lulls and breaks would
occur. Whilst his fellow workers gossiped
or smoked, Matt chose to be alone, knelt
in prayer in a hidden part of a workshop
until the call came to return to his
labours.
***
Each evening, when work was finished,
Matt walked home with his fellow
workers. They knew their companion’s
free time was spent praying in some city
church before the Blessed Sacrament.
Often he asked them to join him in
making a visit to Our Blessed Lord. Some
did. After a short while, however, they
would leave with Matt still knelt in the
gathering twilight. Eventually, when at
night he did return home it was to yet
more prayer – and mortification. His bed
was a plank of wood, a piece of that same
material his pillow. Although respected
by those he lived amongst and worked
alongside, and not unfriendly, he had few
visitors. Those who did encounter him
felt he was not quite of this world; they
were right; he was travelling ever inwards
on a mystical journey to a freedom he
could never have dreamt of when trapped
in an alcoholic stupor.
When his belongings were found after
his death, one of the surprises was the
number of books he owned. Inquires soon
revealed that he had slowly, but
determinedly, taught himself to read and,
as he did so, effectively began a course of
study that included the spiritual classics,
the lives of Saints, doctrinal books, and
works of mystical and ascetical theology.
When asked how he, a poor workman,
could read the works of St. Augustine,
Newman et al, his reply was as
straightforward as it was telling. He said
he asked the Holy Spirit to enlighten him.
And so, he grew in an intellectual
understanding of his faith, which in turn
deepened the prayer and penance he
undertook. Here was a 20th Century heir
to the spiritual traditions of the ancient
Irish monks, albeit one now living not on
an island monastery but in the slums of
Dublin, but, like those earlier
contemplatives his life was work, study
and prayer with eyes turned ever inward
to the Holy Trinity.
Matt never married; held no position of
note, was unknown outside his own small
circle of family and friends – only one
blurred photograph has survived him-
and, yet, this was a rare man: one who had
taken the Gospel at its word and lived it.
His lifetime ran alongside the then
momentous events in Irish history. A time
of cultural renaissance and nationalist
fervour, of a Great Strike in 1913 and
open revolution in 1916, of the Great War
and a War for Independence, throughout it
all his life remained largely unchanged.
Matt knew all too well that kingdoms rise
and kingdoms fall, but that he had set his
face to serve a different Kingdom, one
shown him in 1884 when he confessed all
and cast himself into the hands of the
Living God.
By 1925, Matt was 69. He had been in
poor health for some time. Out of
necessity he tried to continue working as
there was only limited relief for the poor
or elderly, but his strength was failing.
Nevertheless, he persisted in his prayer
and penance. On 7 June 1925, whilst
struggling down a Dublin alleyway on his
way to Mass, he fell. A small crowd
gathered around him. A Dominican priest
was called from the nearby church, the
one where Matt had been hurrying. The
priest came and knelt over the fallen man.
Realising what had happened, he lifted his
hand in a blessing for the final journey.
Little did he realise the dead stranger
lying in front of him had already been on
that ‘journey’ for over 40 years.
Having lived in the intimacy of the
Triune God, it was apt Matt died on
Trinity Sunday. Having lived off the
Eucharist daily for more than 40 years, it
was equally fitting he was buried on the
feast of Corpus Christi.
Decades later, a visiting Italian priest
went privately to pray at the grave of the
Dublin worker he had heard so much
about. In 1975, and after the due process
had been completed, that same cleric, now
Pope Paul VI, bestowed a new title upon
that Irish workman: Venerable Matt
Talbot.
There is a large trunk in the safe
keeping of the Archdiocese of Dublin. It
contains the books owned by Venerable
Matt Talbot. A veritable treasury of
spiritual theology, one of the books
contained therein is True Devotion to
Mary by St. Louis de Montfort. In its
pages it reflects on being a slave to this
world or to the Blessed Virgin. For those
that choose the latter path it recommends,
after due recourse to a spiritual director
and the suitable enrolment, that a chain be
worn to symbolise that that soul no longer
belongs to the powers of darkness but is
now a child of the light. On that June day
in 1925, when Matt Talbot fell upon a
Dublin street, it was dressed as a slave to
Mary and as an ambassador of Christ.

Memorare of St. Joseph
Remember, O most illustrious Patriarch, St. Joseph, on the
testimony of St. Teresa, thy devoted client, never has it been heard that anyone who has invoked they protection or sought they mediation has not obtained relief.

Divine Mercy Sunday April 3, 2016 - The First Sunday after Easter St. Anthony Catholic Church 4605 St. Anthony Road, Temperance, Michigan
1-3pm - Prayer Ministers to be available for Prayer - Confessions until 2:45pm Beginning at 3:00pm: The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament Singing the Chaplet The Litany of Divine Mercy Benediction
************************************* Jesus told St. Faustina that this Feast of Mercy would be a special day when “all the divine floodgates though which graces flow are opened.” He also said, “I desire the Feast of Mercy to be a refuge and shelter for all souls, especially poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open.” Our dearly beloved Pope John Paul II wrote his last and final statement, from his deathbed, on Divine Mercy. In it, he expressed to the world the importance to understand and accept the urgent message of Our Lord’s Divine Mercy.
Our Lord said to St. Faustina: “Encourage souls to say the Chaplet, which I have given you. Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the time of death….When they say this chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as a just Judge but as the Merciful Savior. Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy. I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy….Through the Chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will.” *********************************
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy can be said any time, but Our Lord specifically asked that it be recited as a novena, especially on the nine days before the Feast of Mercy. And he promised, “By this novena I will grant every possible grace to souls.”
*************************** St. Anthony Church will begin the Novena of Divine Mercy with the recitation of the “Chaplet of Divine Mercy and Novena” on Good Friday at 1:40pm. The Chaplet and Novena prayers should be recited every day at 3:00pm.
The Novena concludes on Saturday, April 2. St. Anthony Catholic Church 4605 St. Anthony Road Temperance, MI 48182 734-854-1143

Catholic Services Appeal
2016
Dear Friends in Christ,
Each year, all parishes in the Archdiocese of Detroit embark upon the CSA (Catholic Services Appeal) Drive. 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.
We would like to begin our collection for 2016 earlier than usual. As we enter into the holy season of Lent, we would like
you consider making your pledge and/or contribution to CSA for 2016 part of your Lenten observance for sacrifice. 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. Credit
card and automatic withdrawal payments will also be accepted. If you wish to contribute this way, please indicate on the
line below and a form will be sent to you.
Please note: If you sign up to make payments on your pledge, the payment schedule will not begin until July 2016.
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!
Father Brian Hurley
Pastor, St. Anthony Parish
