Are you sick or someone in your family is ill with cancer, heart trouble, whatever? MAKE THE NOVENA! Are you experiencing spiritual, emotional or mental problems? MAKE THE NOVENA! Are you depressed, don’t know where to turn for help? MAKE THE NOVENA! Are your children or spouse away from the Church, have distanced themselves from the Sacraments? MAKE THE NOVENA! Are your children, you or your spouse addicted to drugs or alcohol? MAKE THE NOVENA! Are you in financial difficulties? MAKE THE NOVENA! Are you worried about a difficult pregnancy or perhaps unable to conceive? MAKE THE NOVENA! If you come to the Novena to St. Anthony, you will find a powerful and true friend who will listen to you and help you. Prayer to St. Anthony O Holy St. Anthony, reach down from heaven and take hold of my hand. Assure me that I am not alone. You are known to possess miraculous powers and to be ever ready to speak for those in trouble. Loving and Gentle St. Anthony, reach down from heaven as I implore you to assist me in my hour of need. Obtain for me (mention your request here). Dearest St. Anthony, reach down from heaven and guide me with thy strength. Plead for me in my needs. Teach me to be humbly thankful as you were for all the bountiful blessings I am to receive. ~ Amen.

� � � � � � � � � � � � �

Each year our Novena attendance is increasing because word of all the favors St. Anthony grants spreads through the area. People are now coming from other Parishes and even other Dioceses to come and give honor and beg St. Anthony for favors that so many of us need. It seems that more and more people are in need of divine intervention to this great miracle-worker. He has always been known, even while he lived on this earth, as the thaumaturgist, which is Greek for wonder worker! St. Anthony’s popularity increases year after year precisely because he is a true and tried and trusted friend. He has a tremendous influence with our Dear Lord. He glorified God here on earth by his exemplary and powerful preaching and so he continues to glorify God today by praying with us to Our Lord during this Novena.

Here are some reasons why you might consider making this Powerful Novena to Saint Anthony:

� Are you looking for a job? MAKE THE NOVENA!

� Are you sick or someone in your family is ill with cancer, heart trouble, whatever? MAKE THE

NOVENA!

� Are you experiencing spiritual, emotional or mental problems? MAKE THE NOVENA!

� Are you depressed, don’t know where to turn for help? MAKE THE NOVENA!

� Are your children or spouse away from the Church, have distanced themselves from the Sacraments? MAKE THE NOVENA!

� Are your children, you or your spouse addicted to drugs or alcohol? MAKE THE NOVENA!

� Are you in financial difficulties? MAKE THE

NOVENA!

� Are you worried about a difficult pregnancy or perhaps unable to conceive? MAKE THE

NOVENA!

If you come to the Novena to St. Anthony, you will find a powerful and true friend who will listen to you and help you.

Prayer to St. Anthony

O Holy St. Anthony, reach down from heaven and take hold of my hand. Assure me that I am not alone. You are known to possess miraculous powers and to be ever ready to speak for those in trouble.

Loving and Gentle St. Anthony, reach down from heaven as I implore you to assist me in my hour of need. Obtain for me (mention your request here). Dearest St. Anthony, reach down from heaven and guide me with thy strength. Plead for me in my needs. Teach me to be humbly thankful as you were for all the bountiful blessings I am to receive.

~ Amen.

Upcoming CAP Sessions The Office of Child and Youth Protection is

announcing CAP (Child Assault Prevention) sessions. CAP is the safe environment training program for adults who have regular contact with minors.

Attendance is required in order to comply with the USCCB’s Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People. The policy of the Diocese of Camden is that adults will attend CAP once every five years. CAP 1 teaches attendees to recognize child abuse and neglect and how to report to the proper authorities. Adults are taught that children have the right to be safe, strong and free. CAP 1 is for new volunteers and employees. CAP 2 is called No More Bullies, No More Victims and is a workshop addressing bullying awareness and bullying prevention. Cyber-bullying is also presented. CAP 3 is called Cyber-Empowerment and is a workshop which promotes adults’ understanding of cyber activity of youth while teaching them realistic ways to help children keep their own rights and guard the rights of others in the cyber-sphere. Each presentation is 90 minutes. Adults who are new employees or volunteers should attend CAP 1 before attending CAP 2 or CAP 3. After five years, adults have the option of attending CAP 1 or 2 again if they prefer.

Readings for the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ Corpus Christi ~ Solemnity

May 29, 2016 TLM ~ 2

nd Sunday after Pentecost – 2

nd Class

Reading I – Genesis 14:18-20

In those days, Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine, and being a priest of God Most High, he blessed Abram with these words: "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, the creator of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who delivered your foes into your hand." Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 110:1, 2, 3, 4

R. You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.

The LORD said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool."

R. You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.

The scepter of your power the LORD will stretch forth from Zion: "Rule in the midst of your enemies."

R. You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.

"Yours is princely power in the day of your birth, in holy splendor; before the daystar, like the dew, I have begotten you."

R. You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.

The LORD has sworn, and he will not repent: "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek."

R. You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.

Reading II – 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

Brothers and sisters:

I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.

Sequence - Lauda Sion

Lo! the angel’s food is given To the pilgrim who has striven;

See the children’s bread from heaven, which on dogs may not be spent.

Truth the ancient types fulfilling, Isaac bound, a victim willing,

Paschal lamb, its lifeblood spilling, manna to the fathers sent.

Very bread, good shepherd, tend us, Jesu, of your love befriend us, You refresh us, you defend us, Your eternal goodness send us

In the land of life to see.

You who all things can and know, Who on earth such food bestow,

Grant us with your saints, though lowest, Where the heav’nly feast you show,

Fellow heirs and guests to be. Amen. Alleluia.

Gospel – Luke 9:11b-17

Jesus spoke to the crowds about the kingdom of God, and he healed those who needed to be cured. As the day was drawing to a close, the Twelve approached him and said, "Dismiss the crowd so that they can go to the surrounding villages and farms and find lodging and provisions; for we are in a deserted place here." He said to them, "Give them some food yourselves." They replied, "Five loaves and two fish are all we have, unless we ourselves go and buy food for all these people." Now the men there numbered about five thousand. Then he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty." They did so and made them all sit down. Then taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing over them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. They all ate and were satisfied. And when the leftover fragments were picked up, they filled twelve wicker baskets.
