Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church We find Christ here. We bring Christ to the world. November 25, 2018 ~ Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe Mass Schedule Saturday: 5:00 pm; Sunday: 8:00 am, 10:00 am, 2:00pm (en Español), 5:00 pm Weekdays: Monday - 7 am; Tuesday - 7 am, 5:30 pm; Wednesday - 7 am, 5:30 pm; Thursday - 7 am, 6:30 pm (en Español); Friday - 8:15 am Sacrament of Reconciliation Saturday: 3-4 pm; Sunday: 12:30-1:30 pm; Thursday: 7:30-8 am or by appointment Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Thursdays 8am to 6pm, 1 st Thursdays 7:30 pm & 1 st Fridays 3 pm to 6 am This Week s Highlights Page 3 Lessons & Carols Pages 4 First Reconciliation Celebrations Page 6 Christmas Angels, Trees, and Stars Page 8 Para Español Forty Hours Devotion at Mount Carmel In his brief novel The Morning Watch, James Agee chronicles a few hours in the life of a twelve-year-old boy named Richard who is taking part in his boarding school s annual morning watch of the Eucharist, between Holy Thursday and Good Friday. The whole action of the novel takes place in the course of a few hours, starting at 4 am, when Richard is awakened to take his turn in watching and praying with the Eucharist in a chapel filled with flowers and hundreds of candles. Most of the novel records Richard s thoughts and reflections and prayers as he tries valiantly to stay awake for an hour, challenging himself to be faithful to Jesus even as he asks himself hard questions about who he is and what he is about. Through the experience, Richard comes away more certain of himself and more aware of the love of God and the complexity of the world in which he lives. Our Catholic faith constantly encourages us, in Augustine s words, to adore what we consume, that is, to spend time in prayer with the Eucharistic Lord whom we take into ourselves whenever we receive communion at Mass. This adoration allows us to reflect on Jesus, our relationship with him, his love for us, and our love for our neighbor. It allows us to be opened to continued transformation, as we become more and more like Christ, to be strengthened in our calling to go out and be Christ to others. We are excited to be holding our first Forty Hours Devotion at Mount Carmel, in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose feast day Mass as the Immaculate Conception will conclude this period of forty hours of continuous adoration. I encourage all of you to sign up for an hour or more of prayer and reflection before the Blessed Sacrament, or simply to come by at any point and enjoy the silent power of sitting with Jesus. Come as you are, and be yourself before Jesus. I promise it will be a beautiful gift from Jesus to you. Fr.

Page 7 November 25, 2018 Liturgical Ministries Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School The Purple Star Designation is Awarded to OLMC School! Linen Ministry Help Needed These ministers clean and press the altar linens and purificators used each week in our liturgies. This is an invisible, yet essential, ministry. The cloths used at the altar in the Eucharistic celebration are to be treated with the care and respect due to those items being used in the preparation and celebration of the sacred mysteries. Accordingly, guidelines are provided for their cleaning. This ministry is time-flexible and is performed at home; ideally this would be on a 6-8 week rotation. Please contact Julie Hill at jhill@olmc-school.com. Sacristans Needed Sacristans work behind the scenes. They prepare the worship spaces for the celebration of the sacraments each week by polishing, light cleaning, and watering plants. Sacristans can expect to work for 1-2 hours, every four to six weeks. They are usually able to work on a day that fits their schedule, daytime or evening, on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Training is scheduled on an individual basis. Please contact Julie Hill at jhill@olmc-school.com.
