OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL PARISH AT OUR LADY OF LORETO CHURCH NOVEMBER 26, 2017
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish at Our
Lady of Loreto Church PRAYER FOR PARISH SPIRITUAL RENEWAL
Lord God, You love us with an everlasting love, and You choose us to share
Your love with others. We ask that You rekindle in our hearts a new spirit of faith, of prayer and of reconciliation. Inspire us to search out and find ways of bringing one another closer to You. We pray for all who form our parish
community, that we remain faithful to Your teaching, that we remain steadfast in our prayer, both person-
al and communal, that together with You and the Holy Spirit, our parish may be renewed and trans-formed. All this we ask in the name of Jesus and
through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Please cut out and pray daily.
All Souls Envelopes
&
Remembrance Book
Please list the names of your beloved deceased on your All
Souls’ envelopes. They will be remembered at our Masses
throughout the month of November. The envelopes will be
placed in front of the altar throughout the month. You are
invited to write the names of your beloved dead (no matter
when they died) in our Remembrance Book that will be
displayed in front of the statue of Our Lady of Loreto dur-
ing the month of November. You can enter the names ei-
ther before or after Mass throughout the month. Our
Prayer of the Faithful during the month will include an
intercession for the names written in the Book of Remem-
brances.
May They Rest in Peace!
Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was
thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you
welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you
cared for me, in prison and you visited me." Jesus in-
sists that in ministering to others' physical needs, we
are truly serving him. "Whatever you did for one of
the least brothers of mine, you did for me," he tells us.
And in a similar way, what we fail to do for them, we
fail to do for Christ: "What you did not do for one of
these least ones, you did not do for me." This means
that we have been given both a gift and a task. The
gift is the chance to encounter Christ in our brothers
and sisters. The task is to be sure we don't neglect the
encounter.
The corporal works of mercy provide us with a kind
of guide for how to live out this important mission
from Christ. These works include feeding the hungry,
giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, shelter-
ing the homeless, visiting the sick and the imprisoned,
and burying the dead. Based on the words of Jesus in
today's Gospel, it's an important part of the Christian
life to look for ways to engage in these kinds of bodily
ministries. Traditionally, these "corporal" works are
complemented by a set of "spiritual" works. The spir-
itual works of mercy ensure that we don't minister to
the body at the expense of the soul. They include ad-
monishing the sinner, instructing the ignorant, coun-
seling the doubtful, comforting the sorrowful, bearing
wrongs patiently, forgiving all injuries, and praying
for the living and the dead. By engaging in these di-
verse works of mercy, we serve others, love Jesus, and
hope to "inherit the kingdom prepared for [us] from
the foundation of the world."

MSGR. ROCCO FOOD DRIVE
The members of the Mt. Carmel KofC would like to thank the
parish for the overwhelming response to the Msgr. Rocco Pic-
colomini food
drive. It was by
far the most suc-
cessful drive the
council has had,
and was a great
shot in the arm
for the food pan-
try right before
Thanksgiving.
May God bless
all of you who
contributed.

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE NOVEMBER 26, 2017
Celebrate Advent by Lighting a
Candle
The season of Advent begins on the
weekend of December 2 & 3. Begin-
ning on that weekend, the traditional
Advent wreath will be set up in our sanctuary. We invite
you and your family to come forward at the beginning
of each Mass during Advent to light the candles on the
wreath. A sign-up book has been placed on the table in
the vestibule of the church to reserve the Mass at which
you and your family would like to come forward. This is
a wonderful way for you and your family to participate
in this centuries-old Advent tradition.
Christmas Giving Trees
Our parish continues to support the poor at Christ-
mas through our Giving Tree tradi-
tion.
Tags will be placed on two trees in
the vestibule of the church to sup-
port the Nazareth Home for Boys,
local families in need, and children from the Guild of
St. Agnes.
Please return your gifts, wrapped or in gift bags, with
the tag firmly attached on the outside.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We will also support diocesan semi-
narians with gift card requests
described on the tag.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All gifts are to be brought to church on the weekends
of December 2/3, 9/10 and 16/17. Gifts will be dis-
played at the entrance of our sanctuary.
~~~~~~~~~~~
What a wonderful way to prepare ourselves for the
celebration of Christmas!
First Friday Devotions
First Friday devotions and Exposition of the Blessed Sacra-
ment will be held on Friday, December 2, in the church.
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament begins after the 7:00
am Communion service and ends with Benediction at 11:45
am. We invite you to spend a half-hour in adoration and
reap many graces for doing so. A sign-up sheet for that
purpose will be in the vestibule next weekend.
NOTE: If there is a funeral that morning, adoration and
benediction will be held in the Parish Center Chapel.
St. Peter Julian Eymard, the Apostle of the Eucharist, estab-
lished houses of public Eucharistic Adoration. He insisted
that these “Cenacles” be houses not only of prayer, but also
of beauty. He said “For the Eucharist, nothing is too beauti-
ful”.

Carmel KofC will again

Posada immediately after

a traditional family-
oriented Christmas event popular in Latin America. Combining
readings, songs, and a reenactment, the Posada (Spanish for
inn) recounts the story of the first Christmas, when Mary &
Joseph traveled to Bethlehem but found no room at the inn. The
Posada tradition was developed by Franciscan missionaries
centuries ago as a means of explaining Christmas. The event
ends with a procession to the center where there will be light
refreshments and a piñata for the children. All members of the
parish are warmly invited to attend.

Rest in Peace
We, the parish community of Our Lady of
Mt. Carmel, extend our deepest sympathy to the
family and friends of Rosemarie Chiancola.
May God grant her peace forever and bring comfort to
her family and friends.
Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe“…whatever
you did for one of the least of my brothers, you did for me” –
MATTHEW 25:40 Most of us are generous when it’s conven-
ient for us. We are generous when we have the time or the
money. But, generosity is the opposite of that. It means giving
of one’s time, money, compassion, forgiveness or mercy when
it’s not convenient; when it’s not on our schedule, but on the
other person’s schedule.
