The Eucharistic Prayer<br />
The Eucharistic Prayer or Canon <strong>of</strong> the Mass is the central prayer <strong>of</strong> the entire celebration. Most <strong>Catholic</strong>s have been<br />
made aware from their earliest days that during the Eucharistic Prayer the bread and wine are transformed into the Body and Blood<br />
<strong>of</strong> Christ. What many <strong>Catholic</strong>s are not aware <strong>of</strong>, however, is that the Eucharistic Prayer is about more than adoring Christ who<br />
becomes present in our midst.<br />
The <strong>Church</strong> tells us that liturgy (and the Mass is the highpoint and heart <strong>of</strong> liturgy) is the action <strong>of</strong> Christ the priest and<br />
His Body, the <strong>Church</strong>. In the celebration <strong>of</strong> Mass, during the Eucharistic Prayer, not only does Christ become present, body and<br />
blood, soul and divinity, under the forms <strong>of</strong> bread and wine, but Christ's saving action, His passion, death and resurrection are once<br />
again enacted and <strong>of</strong>fered to the Father by Christ Himself in the person <strong>of</strong> the priest, and by all present.<br />
This is a truth <strong>of</strong> enormous significance!. This action <strong>of</strong> Christ which brought about our redemption from sin and eternal<br />
death, <strong>of</strong>fered once for all on Calvary, becomes present again for us, here and now, in this time and place, so that we can join in<br />
Christ's perfect <strong>of</strong>fering and can ourselves participate in His perfect worship.<br />
Read carefully any <strong>of</strong> the Eucharistic Prayers. You will see that that prayer is <strong>of</strong>fered, not to Christ, but to the Father:<br />
Father, you are holy indeed ...; Father, we bring you these gifts ...; Father, we ask you .... It is worship <strong>of</strong>fered to the Father by<br />
Christ as it was at the moment <strong>of</strong> His passion, death and resurrection, but now it is <strong>of</strong>fered through the priest acting in the person <strong>of</strong><br />
Christ, and it is <strong>of</strong>fered as well by all <strong>of</strong> us who are part <strong>of</strong> Christ's Body, the <strong>Church</strong>. This is the action <strong>of</strong> Christ's Body, the<br />
<strong>Church</strong> at Mass.<br />
When the priest prays this prayer he prays we bring you these gifts; we ask you ...; we <strong>of</strong>fer. That we signifies that all the<br />
baptized present at this Eucharistic celebration make this <strong>of</strong>fering in union with Christ, pray this prayer in union with Him. And<br />
what is most important, we do not <strong>of</strong>fer Christ alone; we are called to <strong>of</strong>fer ourselves, our lives, our individual efforts to grow<br />
more like Christ and our efforts as a community <strong>of</strong> believers to spread God's Word and to serve God's people, to the Father in<br />
union with Christ through the hands <strong>of</strong> the priest. Most wonderful <strong>of</strong> all, although our <strong>of</strong>fering is in itself imperfect, joined with the<br />
<strong>of</strong>fering <strong>of</strong> Christ it becomes perfect praise and thanksgiving to the Father.<br />
And so, during the Eucharistic Prayer at Mass, we have more to do than to look forward to the moment <strong>of</strong> consecration<br />
and remain there while the prayer <strong>of</strong> the priest continues. Before the consecration we join in the prayer <strong>of</strong> praise and thanksgiving<br />
to the Father known as the Preface and affirm that praise and thanksgiving in our singing <strong>of</strong> the Holy, Holy, Holy. Following the<br />
Consecration we join together in the Memorial Acclamation which proclaims our common faith in Christ's real presence and is an<br />
acclamation expressing our gratitude to Christ for His wonderful gift <strong>of</strong> salvation. But then our prayer moves on and we are called<br />
to <strong>of</strong>fer Christ, and ourselves with Christ to the Father: 'We <strong>of</strong>fer to you, Father, this holy and living sacrifice...' and to pray with<br />
the priest that 'we who are nourished by His Body and Blood may be filled with the Holy Spirit and become one body, one spirit in<br />
Christ...'; we then join our prayers with the prayers <strong>of</strong> the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints for our Holy Father the Pope, our<br />
bishops and clergy and all God's people, living and dead. At the conclusion <strong>of</strong> the Eucharistic Prayer the priest sums up all that has<br />
gone before: ' Through Him (Christ), with Him (Christ), in Him 'Christ) in the unity <strong>of</strong> the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours,<br />
almighty Father, forever and ever.' And we who are privileged to make our own <strong>of</strong>fering through, with and in Christ, respond with<br />
the most important acclamation <strong>of</strong> the Mass, the great AMEN by which we pr<strong>of</strong>ess the action <strong>of</strong> Christ to be our action as well.<br />
FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND JUNE 18-19, 20<strong>11</strong><br />
As quoted by our beloved Bishop John T. <strong>St</strong>einbock. . . . “Every year on Father’s day, we remember fondly our Fathers, both<br />
living and dead. We give thanks to God for them and we recall the lessons they taught us and the example they gave us. We<br />
celebrate their ongoing presence in our lives and we realize that so much <strong>of</strong> who we are is due to our Dads. God bless our Fathers<br />
with a wonderful Father’s Day.<br />
Father’s Day is also the day for the annual Priests’ Retirement Fund Collection. Through this collection, the People <strong>of</strong> God<br />
can show their appreciation and love for the priests who have served them so faithfully in the parishes and who gave so much <strong>of</strong><br />
themselves for the good <strong>of</strong> their people.<br />
This collection, works to add to the Priests’ Retirement Fund, so that the needs <strong>of</strong> our priests living in retirement can be met.<br />
While the Priests’ Retirement Fund is in good shape financially, we must still be vigilant in making sure that this Fund will be available<br />
for all priests and viable for all priests as retirement becomes a reality.”<br />
Your generous gift will enable the Diocese to support it’s Retired Priests-Priests who have given a lifetime <strong>of</strong> service to the<br />
People <strong>of</strong> God. They are such a special link between our past and our present. At <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Anthony</strong>’s we are blessed to have:<br />
Rev Msgr. Herman Bezunartea 1973, Rev .Msgr. Walter Minhoto-1975<br />
Envelopes will be available in the pews prior to the collection on Father’s Day. On behalf <strong>of</strong> our clergy,<br />
thank you for your support and prayers!
La Plegaria Eucarística page 3<br />
La Plegaria Eucarística o Canon de la Misa es la oración central de toda la celebración. La mayoría de los católicos han<br />
tomado conciencia desde los inicios, que durante la Plegaria Eucarística el pan y el vino se transforman en el Cuerpo y en la<br />
Sangre de Cristo. Sin embargo, de lo que muchos católicos no han tomado conciencia es que la Plegaria Eucarística es más que<br />
la adoración a Cristo que se hace presente en medio de nosotros.<br />
La Iglesia nos dice que la liturgia (y la Misa es el punto culminante y el corazón de la liturgia) es la acción de Cristo<br />
Sacerdote y Su Cuerpo que es la Iglesia. En la celebración de la Misa, durante la Plegaria Eucarística, no sólo Cristo se hace<br />
presente, en su cuerpo y sangre, alma y divinidad, bajo las formas del pan y del vino, sino que también la acción salvadora de<br />
Cristo, Su pasión, muerte y resurrección se realiza nuevamente y es <strong>of</strong>recida al Padre por el mismo Cristo en la persona del<br />
sacerdote y de todos los presentes.<br />
"¡Ésta es una verdad de enorme trascendencia! Esta acción de Cristo que nos trajo la redención del pecado y de la<br />
muerte eterna, <strong>of</strong>recida una vez y por todos en el Calvario se realiza de nuevo, para nosotros aquí y ahora, en este tiempo y<br />
lugar, de modo que nos podamos unir a la <strong>of</strong>renda perfecta de Cristo y podamos nosotros mismos participar en Su culto<br />
perfecto.<br />
Lean cuidadosamente cualquiera de las Plegarias Eucarísticas. Se darán cuenta de que la oración es dirigida no a Cristo<br />
sino al Padre: "Padre, eres verdaderamente santo..."; "Padre, estas <strong>of</strong>rendas Te las presentamos..."; "Padre, te rogamos...". Es un<br />
culto <strong>of</strong>recido al Padre por Cristo tal como fue en el momento de Su pasión, muerte y resurrección, pero ahora es <strong>of</strong>recido por<br />
medio del sacerdote que actúa en la persona de Cristo y es, asimismo, <strong>of</strong>recida por todos nosotros que formamos parte del<br />
Cuerpo de Cristo, la Iglesia. Ésta es la acción del Cuerpo de Cristo, la Iglesia, en la Misa.<br />
Cuando el sacerdote eleva esta plegaria, dice: "te <strong>of</strong>recemos estos dones "; "te pedimos"; "te <strong>of</strong>recemos". Este "nosotros"<br />
significa que todos los bautizados que están presentes en esta celebración Eucarística hacen este <strong>of</strong>recimiento en unión con<br />
Cristo, rezan esta plegaria en unión con Él y lo que es más importante aún, no <strong>of</strong>recemos solo a Cristo al Padre, sino que estamos<br />
llamados a <strong>of</strong>recernos a nosotros mismos, nuestras vidas, nuestros esfuerzos individuales, para asemejarnos aún más a Cristo y<br />
<strong>of</strong>recer nuestros aportes, como comunidad de creyentes, para difundir la Palabra de Dios y servir al pueblo de Dios, al Padre, en<br />
unión con Cristo, a través de las manos del sacerdote. Lo más maravilloso de todo es que a pesar de que nuestra <strong>of</strong>renda en sí<br />
misma sea imperfecta, uniéndose con la de Cristo se transforma en una alabanza y acción de gracias perfecta al Padre.<br />
También durante la Plegaria Eucarística en la Misa, tenemos mucho más que hacer que simplemente esperar el<br />
momento de la consagración, y quedarnos allí pasivamente, mientras continúa la oración del sacerdote. Notemos que antes de la<br />
consagración nos unimos a la oración de alabanza y acción de gracias al Padre, conocida como el Prefacio, y afirmamos esa<br />
alabanza y acción de gracias con nuestro canto a quien es tres veces Santo. Después de la consagración, nos unimos todos en la<br />
Aclamación Memorial que proclama nuestra fe común en la presencia real de Cristo y expresa nuestra gratitud a Cristo por Su<br />
maravilloso regalo de salvación. Más aún, nuestra plegaria cambia su sentido y somos invitados a <strong>of</strong>recer a Cristo y a nosotros<br />
mismos, con Cristo, al Padre: "Te <strong>of</strong>recemos, Padre, este sacrificio vivo y santo..." Somos invitados a orar junto con el sacerdote<br />
por nosotros que “alimentados por Su Cuerpo y por Su Sangre, seamos colmados del Espíritu Santo y seamos un solo cuerpo y<br />
un solo espíritu en Cristo; luego, unimos nuestras plegarias a las de Santa María Virgen y todos los santos intercediendo por<br />
nuestro Santo Padre, el Papa, nuestros obispos y el clero y todo el pueblo de Dios, vivos y difuntos. Al concluir la Plegaria<br />
Eucarística, el sacerdote resume todo lo ocurrido previamente: “Por Cristo, con Él (Cristo) y en Él (Cristo) a Tí Dios Padre<br />
Omnipotente en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, todo honor y toda gloria, por los siglos de los siglos”. Nosotros, que somos<br />
privilegiados de poder contando hacer nuestro propio <strong>of</strong>recimiento, por, con y en Cristo, respondemos con la aclamación más<br />
importante de la Misa, que es el gran AMÉN, con el cual pr<strong>of</strong>esamos que la acción de Cristo es también nuestra acción.<br />
PRAYER FOR THE SELECTION FOR OUR NEW BISHOP<br />
Almighty God, Send your Holy Spirit to guide those who will advise the Holy Father in the selection <strong>of</strong> the next Bishop <strong>of</strong><br />
the Diocese <strong>of</strong> Fresno.<br />
May he have the zeal <strong>of</strong> Saint Paul, the priestly gifts <strong>of</strong> Saint John Vianney, the wisdom <strong>of</strong> a loving father and brother, and<br />
most <strong>of</strong> all, the heart <strong>of</strong> your Son, Jesus.<br />
We ask that the Blessed Virgin Mary intercede for us, and that Saint Therese, our patroness, join us in this prayer, which we<br />
make through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

Waiting….<br />
The apostles in the Upper Room waiting for Pentecost is an example <strong>of</strong> waiting for something good.<br />
We are all waiting for the opportunity to serve the Lord. The trouble is that sometimes we miss the<br />
opportunity to serve Him because unlike the apostles in the Upper Room, we are not waiting in prayer.<br />
We must stay united to the Lord and keep an active prayer life, so we are attuned to God’s call.<br />
O Holy Spirit, Spirit <strong>of</strong> wisdom and divine love, impart Your knowledge, understanding, and<br />
counsel to youth that they may know the vocation wherein they can best serve God. Give them<br />
courage and strength to follow God's holy will. Guide their uncertain steps, strengthen their<br />
resolutions, shield their chastity, fashion their minds, conquer their hearts, and lead them to<br />
the vineyards where they will labor in God's holy service. Amen

Scripture<br />
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit… (Acts 2:4)<br />
When you send forth your spirit, they are created, and you renew the face <strong>of</strong><br />
the earth. (Psalm 104:30)<br />
For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or<br />
Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink <strong>of</strong> one Spirit.<br />
(1 Cor <strong>12</strong>:13)<br />
Jesus … stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with<br />
you." (John 20:19)<br />
he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy<br />
Spirit.” (John 20:22)<br />
Reflection<br />
Is there anything that you do to cause you to be “filled with the Holy Spirit?”<br />
Does everyone receive the same Spirit?<br />
What happens when you receive the Spirit?<br />
How do you live in the Spirit in your family and in your parish community?<br />
The problem <strong>of</strong> forming Christ in us is not to be solved by our own<br />
efforts. It is not a matter <strong>of</strong> studying the Gospels and then working to put our<br />
ideas into practice, although we should try and do that too, but always under the<br />
guidance <strong>of</strong> grace, in complete subjection to the Holy Spirit..<br />
For if we depend on our own ideas, our own judgment and our own<br />
efforts to reproduce the life <strong>of</strong> Christ, we will only act out some pious charade<br />
which will ultimately scare everybody we meet because it will be so stiff and<br />
artificial and so dead.<br />
It is the Spirit <strong>of</strong> God that must teach us Who Christ is and<br />
form Christ in us and transform us into other Christ's.<br />

PRAYERS TO SAINT ANTHONY OF PADUA<br />
Glorious Saint <strong>Anthony</strong>, I salute you as a good servant <strong>of</strong><br />
Christ, and a special friend <strong>of</strong> God. You once were favored<br />
to hold the Christ Child in your arms as you cherished His<br />
world in your heart. Today I place all my cares, temptations<br />
and anxieties in your hands. I resolve ever to honor you by<br />
imitating your example. Powerful patron, model <strong>of</strong> purity and victor over<br />
fleshly impulses, please win for me, and for all devoted to you, perfect<br />
purity <strong>of</strong> body, mind and heart. I promise by my example and counsel to<br />
help others to the knowledge, love and service <strong>of</strong> God. Amen.<br />
Saint <strong>Anthony</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Padua</strong>, you endured much discouragement in your life<br />
before finding your calling. Help us to find patience in our own lives, and<br />
to trust God to lead us where we need to go. You preached by example;<br />
help us show others through example the truth <strong>of</strong> our faith.<br />
Amen.<br />
GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT<br />
In one <strong>of</strong> the readings for this feast day<br />
Saint Paul refers to “different kinds <strong>of</strong><br />
spiritual gifts” and “different forms <strong>of</strong><br />
service, but the same Lord” (1 Corinthians<br />
<strong>12</strong>:4). Yet spiritual gifts and service can be<br />
mismatched, causing difficulties for the<br />
person and the parish. Think <strong>of</strong> John, who<br />
had been head <strong>of</strong> the finance committee<br />
for over fifteen years. As an able<br />
businessman and head <strong>of</strong> his own<br />
company he dominated meetings, tightly<br />
controlled the agenda, and managed to<br />
push through “pet projects” by silencing<br />
and alienating other committee members.<br />
John is an example <strong>of</strong> someone with<br />
strong administrative gifts who needed a<br />
different challenge. Fortunately, John was<br />
tapped by the new pastor to begin a<br />
“Welcome Home” ministry for <strong>Catholic</strong>s<br />
who have left the <strong>Church</strong>. This initiative is<br />
flourishing as John has discovered new<br />
energy and enthusiasm in matching his<br />
planning skills with hospitality. Then there<br />
is Alice, who was talked into teaching a<br />
parish religion class, although she had no<br />
training and didn’t relate well to young<br />
teens. Alice did not really know her true<br />
abilities, so her service was reluctant and<br />
not likely to last. Another woman on the<br />
faith formation team sensed Alice’s<br />
difficulties. They were chatting after class<br />
and Alice said she had just finished<br />
arranging the wedding <strong>of</strong> her third<br />
daughter. Her friend sympathized with all<br />
the hard work, and Alice said “Oh no, I just<br />
love weddings!” Alice now leads a team <strong>of</strong><br />
parish wedding coordinators, who help<br />
couples through all the arrangements<br />
before and during their special day. She<br />
attracts new volunteers easily because she<br />
has such aptitude and love for the work.<br />
The Spirit is enriching the spiritual lives <strong>of</strong><br />
John and Alice because their service<br />
matches their abilities, and their service, in<br />
turn, is adding new strength to their parish<br />
community.

hike with spectacular views <strong>of</strong> the western divide). Both hikes are moderate and about 5 miles round trip. There will be<br />
ample time in the afternoons for journaling, reading and quiet reflection with common prayer and reflection at the end <strong>of</strong><br />
each day. And best <strong>of</strong> all, there will be cooks to take care <strong>of</strong> our meals - and we do eat very well!<br />
The retreat begins at 3:00pm on Sunday afternoon, June 26. The afternoon and evening will be used as an<br />
orientation to the retreat. On Monday morning we will leave for Sequoia National Park. (<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Anthony</strong> Retreat Center is just<br />
three miles to the entrance to the park.) Retreatants will need to bring their own camping/backpacking equipment<br />
(including tent and sleeping bag) and be in good physical condition for hiking in moderate 6,000 to 8,000 feet elevation.<br />

<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Anthony</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Padua</strong><br />
Doctor <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Church</strong><br />
Feast day: June 13<br />
b.<strong>11</strong>95 d.<strong>12</strong>31<br />
Saint <strong>Anthony</strong> was canonized (declared a saint) less than one year after his death.<br />
There is perhaps no more loved and admired saint in the <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Church</strong> than Saint<br />
<strong>Anthony</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Padua</strong>, a Doctor <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Church</strong>. Though his work was in Italy, he was born in Portugal. He first<br />
joined the Augustinian Order and then left it and joined the Franciscan Order in <strong>12</strong>21, when he was 26<br />
years old. The reason he became a Franciscan was because <strong>of</strong> the death <strong>of</strong> the five Franciscan protomartyrs<br />
-- <strong>St</strong>. Bernard, <strong>St</strong>. Peter, <strong>St</strong>. Otho, <strong>St</strong>. Accursius, and <strong>St</strong>. Adjutus -- who shed their blood for the <strong>Catholic</strong> Faith<br />
in the year <strong>12</strong>20, in Morocco, in North Africa, and whose headless and mutilated bodies had been brought<br />
to <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Anthony</strong>’s monastery on their way back for burial. <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Anthony</strong> became a Franciscan in the hope <strong>of</strong><br />
shedding his own blood and becoming a martyr. He lived only ten years after joining the Franciscan Order.<br />
So simple and resounding was his teaching <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Catholic</strong> Faith, so that the most unlettered and<br />
innocent might understand it, that he was made a Doctor <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Church</strong> by Pope Pius XII in 1946. Saint<br />
<strong>Anthony</strong> was only 36 years old when he died. He is called the “hammer <strong>of</strong> the Heretics” His great protection<br />
against their lies and deceits in the matter <strong>of</strong> Christian doctrine was to utter, simply and innocently, the Holy<br />
Name <strong>of</strong> Mary. When <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Anthony</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Padua</strong> found he was preaching the true Gospel <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Church</strong><br />
to heretics who would not listen to him, he then went out and preached it to the fishes. This was not, as<br />
liberals and naturalists are trying to say, for the instruction <strong>of</strong> the fishes, but rather for the glory <strong>of</strong> God, the<br />
delight <strong>of</strong> the angels, and the easing <strong>of</strong> his own heart. <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Anthony</strong> wanted to pr<strong>of</strong>ess the <strong>Catholic</strong> Faith with<br />
his mind and his heart, at every moment.<br />
He is typically depicted with a book and the Infant Child Jesus, to whom He miraculously appeared,<br />
and is commonly referred to today as the "finder <strong>of</strong> lost articles." Upon exhumation, some 336 years after<br />
his death, his body was found to be corrupted, yet his tongue was totally incorrupt, so perfect were the<br />
teachings that had been formed upon it.<br />
Prayer to Saint <strong>Anthony</strong>, Example <strong>of</strong> Humility<br />
Dear <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Anthony</strong>, after all these years in the school <strong>of</strong> Christ, I still haven't learned the lesson <strong>of</strong> true<br />
humility. My feelings are easily ruffled. Quick to take <strong>of</strong>fense, I am slow to forgive. <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Anthony</strong>, Example <strong>of</strong><br />
Humility, teach me the importance and necessity <strong>of</strong> this Christian virtue. In the presence <strong>of</strong> Jesus, who<br />
humbled Himself and whom the Father exalted, remember also these special intentions <strong>of</strong> mine. (Name<br />
them.)
Como el Padre me ha enviado, así los envió yo a ustedes!<br />
<strong>11</strong> Y <strong>12</strong> DE JUNIO, 20<strong>11</strong><br />
TODOS SON ENVIADOS Cincuenta días después del Domingo de Pascua, celebramos el cumplimiento de todas<br />
las promesas de Dios en la fiesta de Pentecostés, una fiesta a la que muchas veces se ha llamado<br />
el cumpleaños de la Iglesia. Se nos recuerda otra vez más que los cristianos hemos recibido el<br />
Espíritu Santo, no para beneficio personal sino para permitirnos seguir nuestra vocación<br />
cristiana. El eje de las lecturas para Pentecostés es el relato en los Hechos de los Apóstoles,<br />
cuando el Espíritu Santo es enviado a los discípulos. Las demás lecturas para este domingo nos<br />
ayudan a comprender qué significa vivir nuestra vocación cristiana. La carta del apóstol san<br />
Pablo nos muestra los dones y frutos que el Espíritu Santo nos concede. El Evangelio según san<br />
Juan nos recuerda que Jesús ha enviado a todos sus discípulos para que compartan su perdón y<br />
paz, por el poder del Espíritu Santo. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.<br />
