St. Anthony Mary Claret Saint of the day for October 24

The “spiritual father of Cuba” was a missionary, religious founder, social reform-er, queen’s chaplain, writer and publisher, archbishop, and refugee. He was a Spaniard whose work took him to the Canary Islands, Cuba, Madrid, Paris, and to the First Vatican Council. In his spare time as weaver and designer in the textile mills of Barcelona, Anthony learned Latin and printing: The future priest and publisher was preparing. Ordained at 28, he was prevented by ill health from entering religious life as a Carthusian or as a Jesuit, but went on to become one of Spain’s most popular preachers. Anthony spent 10 years giving popular missions and retreats, always placing great emphasis on the Eucharist and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It was said that his rosary was never out of his hand. At age 42, he founded a religious institute of missionaries beginning with five young priests, known today as the Claretians. Anthony was appointed to head the much-neglected archdiocese of Santiago in Cuba. He began its reform by almost ceaseless preaching and hearing of confessions, and suffered bitter opposition mainly for opposing concubinage and giving instruc-tion to black slaves. A hired assassin—whose release from pris-on Anthony had obtained—slashed open his face and wrist. Anthony succeeded in getting the would-be assassin’s death sentence commuted to a prison term. His solution for the misery of Cubans was family-owned farms producing a variety of foods for the family’s own needs and for the market. This invited the enmity of the vested interests who wanted everyone to work on a single cash crop—sugar. Besides all his religious writings are two books he wrote in Cuba: Reflections on Agriculture and Country Delights. He was recalled to Spain for a job he did not relish—being chaplain for the queen. Anthony went on three conditions: He would reside away from the palace; he would come only to hear the queen’s confession and instruct the children; and he would be exempt from court functions. In the revolution of 1868, he fled to Paris with the queen’s party, where he preached to the Spanish colony. All his life Anthony was interested in the Catholic press. He founded the Religious Publishing House, a major Catholic publishing venture in Spain, and wrote or published 200 books and pamphlets. At Vatican I, where he was a staunch defender of the doctrine of infallibility, Anthony won the admiration of his fellow bishops. Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore remarked of him, “There goes a true saint.” At the age of 63, he died in exile near the border of Spain. Reflection: Jesus foretold that those who are truly his representatives would suffer the same persecution as he did. Besides 14 attempts on his life, Anthony had to undergo such a barrage of the ugliest slander that the very name Claret became a byword for humiliation and misfortune. The powers of evil do not easily give up their prey. No one needs to go looking for persecution. All we need to do is be sure we suffer because of our genuine faith in Christ, not for our own whims and lack of prudence www.franciscamedia.org

Breaking Bread Homeless Ministries

News From The Streets… Loving David

By Mary Martha Primerano We found David an elderly homeless gentleman asleep and flat on his back on the hard concrete sidewalk in downtown Houston. Next to him was a type of plastic to-go container filled with rice, a Styrofoam cup, and a shopping bag (with a hole in it) that carried his belongings. Walt woke him by gen-tly calling his name. He awoke and greeted us with a smile. He began to share his heart with us and spoke about how he has watched the city grow first hand, and about his sweet son who lives out of state, but does stop by to visit him on occa-sion. We all prayed together, and when it was time to leave our small team of three helped David pick up the trash around him. We gathered the trash and told him we would take care of disposing it because we did not want the busi-ness owner to be upset with him. He began to weep. We did it because we love him. He knows better, but he just needs help at times. Have you ever needed help? I know we can each call on God for help, but God does use people—doesn’t He? I’m not going to lie, but I was (silently) frazzled when I felt the old food smear on my hands as I picked it up, but when I saw David begin to weep –It/he was worth it. Mother Teresa herself said it best. “I’m a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.” Wow! We packed the donations we gave him and asked how he was going to get back to his spot a couple of miles down the road. He told us he would just walk. I looked down at his shoes, and they not only had holes on the bottom but on top as well. We could see how difficult that would be for him as he is elderly-- so we offered to drive him. It must have been some time since David last rode in a car because he was surprised the car had seatbelts, and he stared at the GPS in amazement. Once we arrived and dropped him off, we hugged and told him we loved him and he told us he loved us too. If that’s all it takes to help someone feel love…God I can do this. Colossians 1:18…”Christ is the first in every-thing.” Verse 28 “so we tell others about Christ…We want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ.” If interested in volunteering please contact:

San Marcos 10,35-45.- Sentido de la Humildad Cristia-

na. Digamos de entrada, hermanos, que Cr isto no con-

dena el deseo de ser importante ni habla mal de quien quie-

re tener el primer puesto. Por lo menos en el evangelio de

hoy no es ese su propósito. Más bien se trata de mostrar en

dónde radica la verdadera "importancia" y cuál es el

"primer puesto" al que hay que aspirar. Esto es muy impor-

tante para poder entender en qué consiste la humildad cris-

tiana: no es tanto "hacer de cuenta" que no me interesa lo

que en realidad sí me interesa, sino encauzar ese interés

según la mente de quien mejor me conoce y ama, que es

Dios.

La Grandeza del Servicio.- Por otro lado, ya en la pr i-

mera lectura Dios nos empuja a cambiar nuestros paráme-

tros. Grande es el que hace algo grande. La grandeza no

está en lo que cada uno dice de sí mismo, ni en lo que obli-

ga a otros a decir, sino en las obras, en la realidad, en los

hechos. Por eso el Siervo de Yahvé, en la primera lectura,

es presentado como un modelo de dolor, pero sobre todo

como un modelo de fecundidad, y es esto lo que se enfatiza:

"verá su descendencia", "prolongará sus años", "por medio

de él prosperarán los designios del Señor". En ningún caso

es una actitud de "el dolor por el dolor". No hay aquí una

actitud de complejo ni de cobardía, como calumnió Nietzs-

che, sino más bien una conciencia del precio que tiene el

bien futuro, y de la inmenso fruto que brota del amor cuan-

do es consecuente.

“QUE TU MISERICORDIA, SEÑOR, VENGA SOBRE NOSOTROS, COMO LO ESPERAMOS DE TI”
