This wicked deed is only discovered once the seeds begin to sprout and the weeds appear with the wheat. Jesus uses this parable to teach us about a quality of God s mercy that may not be often thought about. It is God s forbearance. Forbearance means that God is patient and longsuffering. He gives everyone up until the last breath time to repentant. God s forbearance can explain why the world is the way it is instead of the way we would sometimes wish it to be. The farmer in the story refuses to allow his slaves to disturb the wheat and weeds together while they are growing less the wheat be compromised in anyway. The story is a reminder that Jesus followers cannot anticipate God s final judgment before it is time. In its present state the world is composed of both bad and good. The judgment of God alone will determine the final outcome of both when it is proper to do so. Until then there must be patience and preaching of repentance on our part. As long as we are alive, God is not finished working in all of us. We can change. Others too can change. Where we find life there is always the reason to hope in salvation found only in Christ.
SIXTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JULY 23, 2017 CELEBRATING THE SAINTS Saint Andre Bessette, Religious Brother (1845-1937) Andre Bessette was born near Montreal, Quebec, Canada, n 1845, one of ten children. His father, an itinerant carpenter, died when a tree he was cutting fell on him. Two years later, Andre s mother died too. Twelve-year-old Andre went to relatives to be raised. He labored as a cobbler, blacksmith, and factory worker. He developed a severe stomach condition often causing him great pain, but a fervent prayer life supported him throughout his many trials. Deserving to become a consecrated religious, a priest friend sent him to the Congregation of the Holy Cross in Montreal. The frail Andre was made a religious brother, door-keeper, infirmarian, lamp-tender at the boys college run by the congregation. When he was not needed, he went into the woods on a nearby hill to pray to Saint Joseph, the carpenter. The sick who arrived at his door were blessed with a Saint Joseph medal or some oil from the lamp that burned before the saint s image in the chapel. When many experienced sudden healings, Andre gave thanks to Saint Joseph. Andre nourished hopes of building an oratory at his prayer spot on the hill. After he and his brothers planted Saint Joseph medals on the site, the owner sold them the plot of land. A rustic structure was built, and pilgrims began to come. In 1908, Andre moved in, and construction of a massive church began. When work stalled, Andre begged for money. Upon Andre s death at age ninety-one, a million people came to the nearly completed oratory to pay their respect. Saint Andre Bessette s feast day is January 6 th. SOCIAL CONCERNS COMMISSION A sincere THANK YOU to all those who baked for the West Side Catholic Center luncheon on Tuesday, July 18, 2017. The 195 hot lunches that we served consisted of hot dogs, baked beans, potato chips, watermelon and also included a generous portion of your fresh baked pastries. All were most appreciative. Remember to mark your calendar for our next serving date, Tuesday, September 19, 2017. Thank you again for your continued support and generosity to the West Side Catholic Center. Hey Catholic! Did You Know Did you know that IHS are the first three letters of Jesus' name in Greek? IHS is regularly used on holy cards, vestments, and other religious items. It is also used in the coat of arms for Pope Francis. YOU RE WORTH IT! Have you ever felt like everyone around you had it all together? Loving marriage, great kids, no health issues, no troubles. When they don't talk about their difficulties you assume they have none. So you keep quiet about your own struggles, afraid you won t be accepted if anyone knew what was really going on with you. If this sounds familiar, you re not alone. The Women s Faith Ministry invites all women to attend a book study, You re Worth It! The book reveals ways to help change how you feel about yourself by discovering how Jesus feels about you. If you would like the support and encouragement of other women in your journey of faith, then consider joining us each Wednesday beginning August 2 through September 20 from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Hospitality Room at St. Anthony. Although it is not mandatory to attend all sessions, it benefits you to do so. If interested, your RSVP is needed by calling the parish rectory at (440) 842-2666 or by email at wfmstanthony@gmail.com no later than July 24 for ordering books and materials. There is no cost to attend. 2018 MASS INTENTION BOOK The 2018 Mass Intention Book will open to the general parish community for all remaining mass times on Wednesday August 2, 2017 at 8:30 AM in the rectory office. If you will be celebrating a significant wedding anniversary during 2018 (25th, 50th, etc.) please contact the office prior to August 2, 2017 to schedule your date.

FOOD DRIVE St. Anthony s Knights of Columbus is teaming up with the St. Anthony s Food Bank to feed the hungry from our parish.

The items that are needed most are laundry detergent, toilet paper, bar soap or antibacterial soup, canned fruit, cereal, jelly spaghetti sauce and peanut butter. All donations are welcome and your support of this project is greatly appreciated. The donation weekend is that of August 5 th & 6 th before all masses. Just bring your donation to the gathering space before mass and a Knight will be there to accept and thank you for your donation.

SIXTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JULY 23, 2017 EVANGELIZATION TIP Start learning about our new Bishop Nelson Perez. This way, if someone asks you a question about the Church, you can give a good answer. WEEKLY MASS REMINDER Even though Pope Francis named Bishop Nelson Perez as the next Bishop of Cleveland, we will continue to pray for Bishop Daniel Thomas at Mass until September 5. On that day, Bishop Perez will be officially installed as the 11th Bishop of Cleveland. 4 MYSTAGOGICAL MOMENTS Mystagogy (mist-a-go-gee) is prayerful reflection on the presence of God in the midst of events. Start your conversation with God with this question: What was it like to receive the blessing of the Lord through the Priest at the end of the Mass? MARRIAGE AND FAMILY To Parents: Tell your children that you love them. To Children: Tell your parents that you love them. Sounds simple, but how regularly is it done?
