TRANSCRIPT
ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA CHURCH LORAIN, OH
Of all God’s female saints, Joan of Arc had the
most unusual mission: to lead an army into battle
and restore her king to his throne. Joan was a simple peasant girl, born in
1412. In 1420, the king of England, Henry V of
England captured the French throne, setting aside
the rightful king, Charles VII. When Joan was
about 13, a strong but devout girl, she began to re-
ceive direction from God through the “heavenly
voices” of St. Catherine and St. Margaret. Finally,
she was told to go and tell King Charles, whose
troops were held under siege by the English army
at Orleans, that she had been sent to lead his army
to victory. After her “credentials” were examined
by a number of priests and scholars, Charles ac-
cepted Joan’s offer. Thanks to her brilliant leader-
ship, she put an end to the long siege in eight days
and had the joy of seeing the coronation of Charles
at Reims Cathedral on July 17, 1429. Joan continued in the war, with diminishing
support from her ungrateful king until she was
captured by the Burgundians on May 23, 1430 and
sold by them to the English. Pro-English Bishop
Pierre Cauchon of Beauvais put her on trial as a
witch and heretic. The trial was rigged against her
in order to cast discredit on King Charles. Joan
was excommunicated as a heretic and burned to
death at Rouen on May 30, 1431. But when the
English were finally ousted from France, a legiti-
mate trial was conducted from 1449-1456, which
resulted in her complete exoneration. At the fraudulent trial, the learned churchmen
had tried to trip her with tricky questions. Once
they asked her “Are you in the state of grace?” No
Christian can really answer that. Joan gave an in-
spired reply. “If I am not, may God put me there;
and if I am, may God so keep me. I should be the
saddest creature in the world if I knew I were not
in His grace.” Even her enemies at the trial had to
applaud that brilliant answer.
~Rev. Edward J Smith

ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA CHURCH LORAIN, OH
ADORATION CHAPEL “Our great Saint Joseph that Worker has a
part to play in the Sacred Mystery which
the church presents to us. It was the
bread gained by Him that formed or at
least increased the Blood which was shed on Cal-
vary and which today we receive at the altar. This
bread transformed into the Flesh of the Son of Man
gives us life. The Sacred Host comes to us sweet-
ened by the thought of the guardianship which Saint
Joseph exercised over it; and the chalice of the Di-
vine Blood carries with it sacred memories of the
sufferings and trials of the carpenter of Nazareth.”
~Bishop Peter Anastasius Pichenot

PARISH MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT
UPDATES ON THE ELEVATOR During our last State Inspection for our Social
Hall Elevator, the inspector discovered the elevator did
not shut off when the door was opened. Although the
elevator most likely has always operated in this way,
the inspector had never noticed on any other inspec-
tion. Now that the inspector has documented the prob-
lem, he has shut down the elevator, until this problem
is resolved. Gable Elevator has been out to look at our
unit, and is researching our options. Currently, each
floor has two locks that could potentially be rewired
and replaced with a single lock on each of the upper 2
floors. Most of the costly repairs for the elevator in the
past have been due to problems with the double lock
system. Replacing them with a single lock would not
only get the elevator compliant with the state and op-
erational, but it would also eliminate the source of
most of our problems with it. Instead of treating the
symptoms, we are treating the cause of the problems.
This should make the elevator more dependable.
Two Relics of St. Anthony of Pa-
dua will be visiting us from Padua,
