4TH SUNDAY OF ADVENT • DECEMBER 21, 2014 As members of St. Dominic Catholic Parish, we commit ourselves “To Seek Christ, Know Christ, and Become Christ, Each One for the Sake of All.” 18255 WEST CAPITOL DRIVE • BROOKFIELD, WI 53045 Message from Our Pastor I hope that our observance of Advent in our weekend liturgies has been helping you experience the gift of inner peace as we face the hectic pace of these days of preparation for the celebration of the Christmas season. May our spiritual preparation for this sacred time of the year help bring all of us renewed hope, a spirit of joyfulness and a desire to appreciate one another more fully as we discover the Risen Jesus present in one another, as we recall and celebrate the anniversary of his birth! We would like to call your attention to the difficulty we have making room for the numbers that wish to participate in the 4:30 pm Christmas Eve Mass. So, it would be very helpful if you and your loved ones could gather together at one of the other beautiful Masses we have scheduled for our celebration of Christmas 2014. Thanks for your prayerful consideration of this request! We have some exciting news about the 2015 parish wall calendars. The parish Marketing Committee has once again undertaken the task of creating our own parish calendar with pictures taken from Liturgical Art used in our worship here at St. Dominic. Through the ongoing, generous sponsorship of Harder Funeral Home, we are able to offer one copy of the parish calendar to our parish families starting this weekend. We hope this calendar will help you and your family mark the days and months of the New Year-2015. ~Father David H.

Don’t Miss The St. Dominic Christmas Ornament! If you missed the reverse collection a couple of weeks ago, ornaments are still available in the narthexes. Please take 1 per family. The ornament for 2014 is a dove that symbolizes the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit came down from heaven as a mighty rushing wind, setting on fire the faith of the apostles. Then, together, with the power of the Holy Spirit, they went out and proclaimed the Good News of Jesus Christ – that the Word was made flesh on Christmas morning, for our salvation. Please accept the ornament in gratitude for your involvement in the life and mission of our parish community. May God continue to bless you and your families this Christmas Season. Our Campus is Rockin’ Once Again! The Buildings and Grounds Committee have installed boulders at entrances of various drives on campus, in order to preserve the asphalt work that was completed this past Fall, to keep the grass and landscaping in good shape and to prevent traffic from driving on storm drains. So, while you’re attending Mass, dropping your children off at school, or attending our many wonderful worship opportunities, please watch your corners as you’re driving around campus. December 24 & 25—closed December 31—open until 12:00 pm January 1—closed If you drop something in the mail slot, it will be taken care of the next day we are open. Enjoy this blessed time with your family! Due to limited quantities, please take one per family. They are available today in both narthexes. Thank you to the St. Dominic Marketing Committee and, especially, parishioner Dan Herda for offering his photography talent and skills for this calendar.

He’s almost here. It is the 4th Sunday of Advent. Thank God it’s a short week. It’s only 4 days. This year the Fourth Week of Advent is four days long. Wednesday evening is Christmas Eve and Thursday, is the birth of Christ. Isn’t the anticipation exciting? It’s so thrilling! O come, O come, Emmanuel! And because we are so blessed to have this wonderful day to be excited about, we are called to praise God! Let him come into your heart to be your Savior. Enter this sacred night and morning of Christmas “joyful and triumphant” as never before. Hark! Sing with the angels. Go ahead, sing and praise out loud for all to hear: "Glory to the newborn King!" In fact, go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere; go tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born. Look at the next page with your family and share how you would describe your anticipation and how you’ll show your anticipation through prayer.

Trust in God to care for all your needs; Give God what He asks of us and offer a 10% tithe; If you haven’t given in the past, make a commitment to God through St. Dominic Catholic Parish. Thank you and God bless. It is through the power of the Holy Spirit that we are called to ignite our faith and to burn with the fire that can’t be contained. Thank you for answering God’s call. w w w. s t d o m i n i c . n e t 5 St. Dominic Catholic Parish—Advent In The Home Brought to you by the LFF Department of the School and Children’s Ministry ~Courtesy of Catechist Magazine and “Advent in the Home” by Ellen C. Becker and Mary T. Barnes. 4th Week of Advent During this fourth week of Advent, the HOPE of salvation is near! The “E” represents “excitement” that Jesus is almost here. Are you ready? Read the Gospel of Luke 1: 26-38. Reflect: In today’s Gospel, the Angel Gabriel appears to Mary to tell her that she has “found favor with God,” that she will “bear a son,” and that she will “name him Jesus.” The child will be “called holy, the Son of God.” This is the Fourth Sunday of Advent; it’s the last Sunday of Advent. That means that Christmas is almost here. You can probably feel the excitement building. You’re probably beginning to look forward to the joyful and fun times that you and your family will have on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and the days that follow. Looking forward to good things to come is a sweet feeling! It’s called anticipation and enjoying anticipation is one of the wonderful things that God created within our human nature. We can take great pleasure in looking forward to things. You know what you can do with that sweet feeling of anticipation for all the celebrating that is to come in the weeks ahead? You can lift it up to Jesus as prayer. Really! No kidding! Your excitement is a form of prayer. Lift up your sweet anticipation to Jesus in the form of a prayer of gratitude to Jesus for his own sweet goodness. Share: Talk about what your anticipation for the days ahead fells like. Would you use the word sweet? What other words would you use to describe your anticipation? Act: Share with a family member how your anticipation for the weeks ahead is a form of prayer. Meal prayer for the fourth week of Advent: Heavenly Father, your Son Jesus’ birthday is only a few days away. May his birthday bring joy and happiness to all humankind. May his peace reign throughout the world. May we be the instruments of his peace for those we meet throughout the remainder of this new liturgical year. Amen. Knight Pride Congratulations to eight of our 6th & 7th graders who will represent us at the Catholic Memorial High School STEM challenge on January 27.

Good luck to Izzy P., Clare B., Ryan R., Nick P., Luke P., Kathryn S., Madeline J., and Will S. “Children, let us love not in word and speech but in deed and truth” ~1 John 4:18 Many service projects have been taking place in the school these weeks of Advent. Our fourth graders went to spend time with the residents of CAREage in Brookfield. The Girl Scouts went to help distribute supplies to the parishioners at St. Michael Parish in Milwaukee. Our seventh graders assisted in wrapping the gift boxes for Smiles for Miles.

Saturday, May 2 and Sunday, May 3 during Mass times: reception of 1st Eucharist Blessing of a Christmas Tree The use of the Christmas tree is relatively modern. Its origins are found in the medieval mystery plays that depicted the tree of paradise and the Christmas light or candle that symbolized Christ, the Light of the world. According to custom, the Christmas tree is set up just before Christmas and may remain in place until the Solemnity of Epiphany. The lights of the tree are illuminated after the prayer of blessing. In the home the Christmas tree may be blessed by a parent or another family member, in connection with the evening meal on the Vigil of Christmas or at another suitable time on Christmas Day. When all have gathered, a suitable song may be sung. The leader makes the sign of the cross, and all reply “Amen.” The leader may greet those present in the following words: Let us glorify Christ our light, who brings salvation and peace into our midst, now and forever. R/. Amen. In the following or similar words, the leader prepares those present for the blessing: My brothers and sisters, amidst signs and wonders, Christ Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea: his birth brings joy to our hearts and enlightenment to our minds. With this tree, decorated and adorned, may we welcome Christ among us; may its lights guide us to the perfect light. One of those present or the leader reads a text of sacred Scripture, for example: Listen to the words of the Letter of St. Paul to Titus: 3:4-7 But when the kindness and generous love of God our savior appeared, not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy, he saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the holy Spirit, whom he richly poured out on us through Jesus Christ our savior, so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life. Reader: The Word of the Lord. R/. Thanks be to God. The intercessions are then said. The leader says: Let us ask God to send his blessing upon us and upon this sign of our faith in the Lord. R/. Lord, give light to our hearts. That this tree of lights may remind us of the tree of glory on which Christ accomplished our salvation, let us pray to the Lord. R/. That the joy of Christmas may always be in our homes, let us pray to the Lord. R/. That the peace of Christ may dwell in our hearts and in the world, let us pray to the Lord. R/. After the intercessions the leader invites all present to say the Lord’s Prayer. The leader says the prayer with hands joined: Lord our God, we praise you for the light of creation: the sun, the moon, and the stars of the night. We praise you for the light of Israel: the Law, the prophets, and the wisdom of the Scriptures. We praise you for Jesus Christ, your Son: he is Emmanuel, God-with-us, the Prince of Peace, who fills us with the wonder of your love. Lord God, let your blessing come upon us as we illumine this tree. May the light and cheer it gives be a sign of the joy that fills our hearts. May all who delight in this tree come to the knowledge and joy of salvation. We ask this through Christ our Lord. R/. Amen. The lights of the tree are then illuminated. The leader concludes the rite by signing himself or herself with the sign of the cross and saying: May the God of glory fill our hearts with peace and joy, now and forever. R/. Amen. The blessing concludes with a verse from “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”: O come, thou dayspring, come and cheer our spirits by thine advent here; disperse the gloomy clouds of night and death’s dark shadow put to flight. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel. -From Book of Blessings Excerpts from the New American Bible, copyright 1991, 1986, and 1970 by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Washington, DC and are used by permission of the copyright owner.
