TRANSCRIPT
St. Anthony of Padua Church www.sapparish.org November 15, 2015
“And then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in the clouds’ with great power and glory, and then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the
four wind, from the end of the earth to the end of the sky.” Mark 13:26-27
How would you spend your day if you knew it was the last day you would spend on earth? Undoubtedly, it would not be a normal day. The point of today’s Gospel reading is that the end-time is always imminent. The good
steward remains prayerfully alert, ready to give an accounting; and living each day in the aware-ness of the coming judgment and salvation. How do we exercise stewardship over our daily lives? Are we prepared to give an accounting? How will we allow Christ to work in and through us to pre-pare for the reconciliation of the heavens and the earth?

Prayer to St. Martin of Tours
Blessed St. Martin of Tours,
obtain for us not only
forgiveness, but also a spirit
of love towards neighbor
enabling us to be
compassionate. Obtain for us
the grace to love all people
as brothers and sisters with a
pure and disinterested heart.
May we, like you, one day
enjoy the blessed vision of
God forever and ever.
Amen.

"Entonces ellos veran 'El Hijo del Hombre deciende de las nubes' con gran poder y gloria; y el enviara los angeles y escojera a sus elegidos de los cuatro vientos,
del fin de la tierra al fin del cielo." Marcos 13:26-27
¿Cómo invertirías tu tiempo si supieras que este fuese el último día que vivi-eras sobre la tierra? Indudablemente, este no sería un día normal. El punto de la lectura del Evangelio de hoy es que el final del tiempo es siempre inmi-nente. El buen corresponsable permanece alerta piadosamente, listo para
entregar cuentas; y vive cada día consciente del juicio y la salvación venideros. ¿Cómo ejercitamos nosotros la corresponsabilidad en nuestra vida diaria? ¿Estamos preparados para rendir cuentas? ¿Cómo permitiremos a Cristo obrar en nosotros y a través de nosotros para preparar la reconciliación de los cielos y la tierra?

San Martín de Tours nació alrededor del
año 316 en un territorio que ahora es parte
de Hungría. Su padre, un oficial del ejército
Romano, reclutó a Martín en el servicio
militar a la edad de 15 años. Cuando Martín
aún era soldado, ocurrió el famoso inci-
dente que ha sido conmemorado por
muchos artistas. Un día, en las puertas de la
ciudad de Amiens, vio un mendigo es-
casamente vestido. Martín cortó la mitad de
la capa de su traje militar y la compartió
con el mendigo. Esa noche Martín soñó que
Jesús usaba la misma mitad de capa que él
había dado al mendigo. Martín consideró
por algún tiempo convertirse al cristian-
ismo. Rápidamente él fue bautizado y de-
cidió dedicar su vida a Cristo. Martín fue
seguidor de San Hilario de Poitiers (Enero
13) quien le entregó la tierra donde se esta-
bleció el primer monasterio en Galia
(actualmente Francia). Este fue el primer
monasterio conocido que se estableció al
norte de los Alpes. El cristianismo estuvo
mucho tiempo confinado a las áreas urba-
nas, y Martín vio los monasterios como
centros espirituales rurales, desde los
cuales podría llevarse a cabo la evangeli-
zación en el campo. Él fue apasionado en
llevar a la gente a Cristo. El año 371, era el
tiempo en el que los fieles elegían a los
obispos, Martín fue engañado para ir a
Tours y ser elegido obispo. Él era recono-
cido por su evangelización, su santidad
personal, su ministerio de curación y por su
compasión hacia los pobres. También era
bien sabido que Martín nunca accedería a
ser obispo. Un hombre de la ciudad acudió
a Martín y le rogó visitar a su esposa en-
ferma. Cuando el bondadoso Martín llegó a
Tours una multitud de gente salió de sus
e s c o n d i t e s
rodeándolo. Inca-
pacitado para
escapar, él entró
a la ciudad y
subyugado por la
voluntad de la
multitud, se con-
virtió en su
obispo. Martín
mantuvo su estilo
de vida como
monje y ejercitó la corresponsabilidad en la
diócesis, caminando, montando un caballo
o en bote. Su profundo testimonio personal
se encontró con gran éxito en un área que
fue pagana por mucho tiempo. Martín
murió el 8 de noviembre del año 397, y su
fiesta es el 11 de noviembre, el día que fue
sepultado en Tours. Él es el santo patrono
de Francia.

St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote:
“Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the
greatest after the Sacraments, the one dearest to God and the one most
helpful to us”. The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: By not only
celebrating the Eucharist, but also by praying before It outside of Mass,
we are enabled to make contact with the very wellsprings of Grace ..."
You are invited to participate in Eucharistic Adoration each Friday
Adoration begins after 8:15 Mass; ends with Benediction at 11:50 am.
You can spend a few minutes, an hour or as much time as you desire.
