SAINT THERESA OF CALCUTTA’S

“ANYWAY PRAYER”

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of

selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build it anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you’ve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them

anyway.

OUR NEW PARISHIONERS

Tracy Stout 1017 Bobs Hole Road Topping, VA 23169 804-695-7805

REGRETS As previously announced, parishioner Dick

Zimmerman died from natural causes a week ago Monday. Barbara and Dick joined the parish in 2005. He was active in the Prison Ministry and the Divine Mercy Prayer Group. He was also a charter member of the Knights of Columbus Council 11210. His Mass

of Resurrection was celebrated Saturday, a week ago with burial immediately afterwards. Our

continued prayers are with Barbara and the family.

ADVENT SONG Light the Advent candle one. Now the waiting has begun. We have started on our way. Time to think of Christmas Day. Refrain:

Candle, candle, burning bright, shining in the cold winter night. Candle, candle burning bright, fill our hearts with Advent light.

THANKSGIVING A COMMUNITY SUCCESS 203 persons were served a meal this Thanksgiving in

conjunction with the Cryer Center and other churches. COV donated two 12lb turkeys which were prepared by Ingrid Borden and Debby Harriman. Ed

did the slicing and Bob delivered the Turkeys to Hands Across Middlesex.

CHRISTMAS SOCIAL GATHERING Next Sunday we will celebrate our annual Christmas gathering starting with a social hour from 3-4pm followed by dinner. The

church will provide the main dish of ham and the wine and chees for social hour. Bring a side dish or dessert to

share. If you have any questions. Please call Kris Scherrer at 776-7117 or Peg Meushaw at 776-7315.

NOVEMBER MEMORIALS We thank the parishioners who chose to remember

their loved ones by participating in one of the ways we recognized the deceased during the month. If you had a photo on the remembrance table, pleas pick it up after

Mass from the rear of the church.

ADVENT SCHEDULE Copies of the Advent Schedule are available in the rear of the church

for you to take home as a reminder of the scheduled events.

DIOCESES ANNOUNCEMENT/TRANSPARENCY Following the listening sessions held throughout the

diocese in October, Bishop Barry C. Knestout renewed his commitment to leading the Diocese of Richmond

with transparency, faith and direct action. A webpage has been created to help the faithful stay informed of the diocese’s

response to the present crisis in the Church. A video interview with Bishop as he answers the faithful’s most frequently asked questions, a timeline of actions taken within the diocese to address the crisis, and resources to learn how Bishop Knestout is

answering the call for accountability is available at www.richmonddiocese.org/diocese-response.

LEGACY Don’t cancel life insurance you no longer need! Consider

instructing your life insurance agent to include Church of the Visitation as a primary or secondary beneficiary on your policy. By naming our parish as beneficiary, you’ll provide lasting financial support

and possibly qualify for tax benefits as well. It costs nothing to change the beneficiary on your

policy, and will mean everything to our future parish community.

Potential, Promise, & Purpose

1ST SUNDAY OF Advent

The Habit of Prayer

Reading I: Jeremiah 33:14-16 (restoration of Jerusalem) Reading II: 1 Thessalonians 3:12-4:2 (plea for growth in holiness) Gospel: Luke 21:25-28, 34-36 (coming of the Son of Man) Key Passage: Be alert at all times, praying that you may have

the strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)

Adult: What have been the strengths of your prayer fife? What habit of prayer could you strengthen during this

Advent season? Child: What prayers will you say each day and each week during Advent?

CARENOTES

“GROWING CLOSER AS A FAMILY DURING ADVENT” Enrich your prayer life by remembering a different

group on each day of the week.
