ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA CHURCH LORAIN, OH

ADORATION CHAPEL “Not only is the entire history of salvation present in the Eucharist, but also the Trinity which is it’s author. The Father so loved the world that He gave His Only-begotten Son to save it; the Son so loved men as to give up His life for them; Father and Son willed to unite men so intimately to themselves that they infused the Holy Spirit in them so that their own life would dwell in their hearts.” ~Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa

It was a glorious feast of the town and Don Garnier had erected an especially magnificent repository for the Blessed Sacrament. At 3:00 am of the feast, Don Garnier returned to the church and saw a glow around the chapel in which the Blessed Sacrament was exposed. Fearing the church was on fire, he ran to the nearby Benedictine monastery for help. Accompanied by several monks, they returned to the church and opened the door to witness a miracle. The Monstrance was suspended in mid-air. The stone, which was previ- ously underneath the Monstrance, lay in three fragments on the floor surrounded by the broken remains of the altar and candles. The Monks, who had fallen away in belief and practice, fell to their knees in adora- tion of the Sacred Host who they recognized as their Lord and Savior. This miracle inspired many conver- sions of those who had fallen away from and was declared valid by the Bishop within a few months.

ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA CHURCH LORAIN, OH Pro-Life Answers to False Pro-Choice Arguments (Part I) As pro-lifers, we need to educate ourselves and have answers to pro-choice arguments and rhetoric. Over the next few weeks, we will highlight the typical pro-choice claims and we will arm you with good and accurate information to refute their misleading and false arguments.

The "fetus"-----human life or not? For many years, their most significant and basic argument has been that the so- called fetus is not a human life; it's just a simple mass of tissue or part of the pregnant woman's body. They also claim that the question of when human life begins is uncertain and a religious issue. However, medical textbooks and scientific reference works consistently agree that life begins at conception, when a genetically distinct indi- vidual is brought into existence. Some of the world's most prominent scientists and physicians testified to a U.S. Senate committee that human life begins at conception. At these same hearings, pro-abortionists, though invited to do so, failed to produce even a single expert witness who would testify that life begins at any point other than conception. From the moment of conception, the unborn fetus is not simple, but very complex. The newly fertil- ized egg contains a staggering amount of genetic information, sufficient to control the individual's growth and development for an entire lifetime. The key word is development. Like a toddler or adolescent, the term fetus does not refer to "non-humans", but to humans at a particular stage of development. It is scientifically inaccurate and untrue to say a fetus is not a human being simply because he or she is at an earlier stage of development than an infant. Being inside something is not the same as being part of something. The mother and the unborn child are two separate individuals and very often, they are not even the same sex! The child has its own DNA, finger- prints and blood type, distinct from the mother's. The unborn child even takes an active role in his or her own devel- opment, even controlling the course of the pregnancy and the time of birth. THE COMMUNION RITE WRITTEN BY RITA THIRON & FR. RYAN ROJO The Communion Rite can be examined in three distinct parts: The preparation of Communion, the reception of Holy Communion, and the period after Communion. We will conclude this week with the last section of the article.

PERIOD AFTER COMMUNION - After receiving Holy Communion, the faithful may observe a period of silence. This silence is an opportunity to prayerfully thank God for his gift of the Eucharist. A psalm, canticle of praise or suitable hymn (GIRM 88) may also promote meditation. This music is not meant to be a solo performance, but a hymn in which the entire assembly takes part (ibid.) Finally, at the priest’s prompting, the faithful unite their intentions to the Prayer after Communion. The Priest prays for the community of faith, asking that they may experience the effects of Holy Communion.

CONCLUSION - Jesus not only comes to you and to me. He comes to us. Our entire community should be changed because of that. How can we better live out our Eucharistic communion?
