ADORATION CHAPEL St. Pope John Paul II wrote, “I wish once more to recall this truth and to join you, my dear brothers and sisters, in adoration before this mystery, a great mystery, a mystery of mercy. What more could have done for us? Truly, in the , he shows us a love which goes ‘to the end’ (cf. Jn 13:1), a love which knows no measure.” “The Holy Eucharist is ‘the heart of the mystery of the church.’ ” “Christians ought to be committed to bearing more forceful witness to God’s presence in the world.” ~From St. John Paul II prayer card, through Missionaries of the Blessed Sacrament

“Help us through all sadness to hold what is good, . . . Until, assumed into heaven with Thee and Thy son adored, we too may feel the rapture . . . that is Christ the Lord.” ~Our Lady’s Assumption, Carolyn R. Doran

“We all exist only for the glory of our Lord, so it is no dishonor to have passed by the hands of Mary to serve Jesus more directly, to come from Nazareth to the Cenacle, better to honor Mary as Mother and Queen of the Eucharistic Cenacle. ~St. Peter Julian Eymard

AUGUST 11, 2019 19TH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME

SCHOOL UPDATES FROM THE PRINCIPAL This week I wanted to share with all of you the type of educator we will have at SAS this coming year. While there are many kinds of teachers in the world, we are going to focus on two kinds, a swimmer and a lifeguard. A lifeguard is a teacher that oversees a classroom. They look over a room to make sure students are doing their work and staying quiet at all times. Most of us grew up with those types of teachers and may still see them today in our classrooms. That is not the type of teacher we will have at SAS. Our goal is to have swim- mers. A swimmer is a teacher that jumps into the water and works with the students. If you came into a swimmers classroom, you would see them huddled at a desk or in a small group, educating the chil- dren on a specific skill. Rather than looking over the students, they would be interacting, asking questions, checking for understanding and adjusting instruction. This is the type of teacher we will have at SAS and that is one reason we will transform ourselves into the pre-eminent school in Lorain County. ~Mr. Julio Alarcon

ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA CHURCH LORAIN, OH Pro-Life Answers to False Pro-Choice Arguments (Part VIII) As pro-lifers, we need to educate ourselves and have answers to pro-choice arguments and rheto- ric. 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.

"Abortion is necessary because there are already thousands of children waiting to be adopted". The chances of a newborn baby not being adopted are extremely small, regardless of race or circumstances. The problem in adoption is not babies, but older children (many of whom are not legally adoptable) who come into the adop- tion system long after their birth. When the abortion industry tries to justify aborting children by saying there are children who are not getting adopted, they are talking about two separate and unrelated groups of children. The interesting thing is that the children they want to abort are the ones who are the easiest to place for adoption and therefore, not part of the problem. The pro-choice position is, "We have a group of children over here (older and already born children) who are difficult to place for adoption, so let's kill this other group over here (unborn babies) who are extremely easy to place." This argument is plainly absurd and indefensible! How is a 14 year old girl who needs a loving home helped by killing an unborn baby? Aborting a totally unrelated group of children who are not hard to place will not help her a bit. Pro-aborts often counter that if the people who want to adopt babies could not do so, they might adopt these older children already in the system. It would be hard to imagine a more repugnant form of extortion that this argument. What they are really saying is, "In order to make adoptive parents take the older children we think they should adopt, we will slaughter the babies they want to adopt". Few statements speak better to their moral bankruptcy than that one!

THE ST. ANTHONY SCHOOL PARENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE CORDIALLY INVITES YOU!! This event will help us continue providing opportunities for our students to grow through field trip experiences, supporting our teachers through augmenting their classrooms and assisting in ad- vancing art and technology. You can find registration forms online or hanging by the church exits. As always, THANK YOU for your support!
