November 16, 2014 THE ADVENT VIRUS Fr. Mark WARNING - ADVENT VIRUS: Be on the alert for symptoms of inner Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to this virus and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. It is transmittable by merely smiling at another person. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world. Some signs and symptoms of The Advent Virus: •A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences. •An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment. •A loss of interest in judging other people. •A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others. •A loss of interest in conflict. •A loss of the ability to worry. •Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation. •Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature. •Frequent attacks of smiling. •An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen. •An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it. Please send this warning out to all your friends. This virus can and has affected many systems. Some systems have been completely cleaned out because of it.

Paluch company pays us, at OMC, for the privilege of printing and assembling our bulletin each week. Our parish receives a payment of $2000 a year from this company. The company derives its income from the advertising which you see towards the end of the bulletin. In a renegotiation of our contract with them we were able to add one additional page and have the whole bulletin printed in color, in higher definition than we have been used to. Our income from J.S. Paluch will remain the same for as long as our contract remains in place. They have been printing our bulletin since 1969. We are hoping to have the new format from “Christ The King of the Universe” Sunday, November 23, 2014.
