From a Marianist Community of student brothers open to visitors for Sunday Eucharist, Queen of Apostles Community emerged as a non-territorial parish on August 28, 1973.

Continuing in the tradition of the Marianist Charism, we come together each week as a family of Catholic, Christian believers, to worship our God in the Eucharist with song &

praise and to share in the breaking of the Bread. In so doing, we proclaim our willingness to build a community of love and to be the holy people God calls us to be.

If you are visiting and worshipping with us for the first time, we extend to you our warmest welcome. Our prayer is that your worship experience will be uplifting and Spirit filled.

We hope you will visit us often and worship with us!

(If you’d like more information about us or would like to join our Community, please fill out the form on the back cover and drop it in the collection basket!)

NOTE: If the form on the back is missing, email [email protected] with your name, phone number, address and we’ll contact you about joining us.

Marianist Doxology May the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit be glorified in all places

through the Immaculate Virgin Mary.

STEWARDSHIP & GIVING

Fourth Sunday in Advent: “For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.” (Luke 1:44). When you hear the scripture readings and Gospel reading each Sunday, do you “leap for joy?” If not, don’t blame the lecturer or priest, rather look inside yourself. Do you prepare for Mass each week or do you just show up and expect to be entertained? We are called to be active participants, not passive by-standers.

Fourth Sunday in Advent (Cycle C)

Presider...............................Fr. Tom Schroer, S.M. Assisting..............................Deacon Greg Cecere Liturgy Planner....................Sharie McKenny Music Director.....................Teesie Lupp Interpreter for the Deaf........Paula Fleming

Micah 5:1-4a: The passage is chosen for this Sunday because it mentions Bethlehem and because of its use of childbirth as a sign of a new age. It is redolent of the tradition that the messiah would rise up from the lineage of David. The text complements the gospel, which finds Mary visiting Elizabeth immediately after the revelation that Mary is to bear a son.

Hebrews 10:5-10: Jesus was born in the flesh in order top offer that flesh in sacrificial atonement for the world. The reason Jesus came in to the world was to be obedient to the Father’s will that he die for the world. The manger is never far from the cross. Thus, in Advent and Christmas we already foresee a hint of Good Friday—and then Easter Sunday.

Luke 1:39-45: The greatness of Mary and her role in salvation history are defined by her cooperation with God’s will. Mary’s visit is not about attending to Elizabeth’s needs as she approaches childbirth. Though it is surely not excluded, far more than hospitality is at stake here Mary stays with Elizabeth about 3 months, and then returns home.

Ministers Taking Eucharist to Those Not With Us

Presider: Let us send these ministers to those who could not be with us.

Response: Receive the Body of Christ for the nourishment of those who are not here with us. Assure our friends of our prayers and blessings throughout the week.

As for “Free and Nearly Free,” I have made a list of the 2018/19 Wright State Music Department Winter Semester Concerts and Recitals which is posted on the boards and additional copies are on the table in the vestibule. Since the Winter Semester is just getting started there is only one recital in January. But in February there are four events. Then it increases further, culminating in April with 15.

Looking back, we had a great turnout for our Christmas Brunch at the Beavercreek Golf Club. Thanks to all of you to all for making it a great success. There were 63 signups.

MEDITATION FOR THE DAY: "The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Even though the Disciples suffered persecution, they were filled with joy. One would have expected them to be depressed or angry or resentful. The very fact that they responded to persecution with joy is a sign that the Spirit was guiding their actions. We can use that same test with our own words and actions." ~ Rev. Jude Winkler

FAVORITE QUOTE: "Every pious desire, every good thought, every charitable work inspired by the love of Jesus, contributes to the perfection of the whole body of the faithful. A person who does nothing more than lovingly pray to God for others, participates in the great work of saving souls." ~ Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich

SOME OF THE 10 BEST CADDY QUOTES: Golfer: "I think I'm going to drown myself in the lake."

Caddy: "Think you can keep your head down that long?" Golfer: "Do you think my game is improving?"

Caddy: "Yes...You miss the ball much closer now." Golfer: "Do you think I can get there with a 5 iron?"

Caddy: "Eventually." Golfer: "Please stop checking your watch all the time. It’s too much of a distraction."

Caddy: "It's not a watch - it's a compass."

Golfer: "Do you think it's a sin to play on Sunday? Caddy: "The way you play, it's a sin on any day." Golfer: "That can't be my ball, it's too old."
