December 2013 Child of Light Prayer By Martha Smock
Child of Light, I bless you!
I think of you,
I pray for you,
Not in terms of what I think you need
or what I think you should do
or be or express.
I lift up my thought about you
I catch a new vision of you.
I see you guided and directed
by an inward spirit that leads you unerringly
into the path that is right for you.
I see you strong and whole;
I see you blessed and prospered;
I see you courageous and confident;
I see you capable and successful.
I see you free from limitation
or bondage of any kind.
I see you as the spiritually perfect being
you truly are.
Child of Light, I bless you!
The Saint for December: St. Joseph
So I am sure many of you are wondering why I picked St. Joseph for the
month of December. It’s the month of Jesus’ birth; it’s the month of prepa-
rations for the celebrations with family and friends.
I chose St. Joseph for this month because he is the stepfather of Jesus. I
know that many of you are parents. When your children were little, were the
birthday parties for them or were they for you, a chance to show off your
kids? Since this is the month that we celebrate Jesus’ birthday, I thought that
we should know more about the man who raised him.
There is very little in the Bible regarding the man, who had to be very im-
portant to Jesus. In fact, he never utters a single word. All of stories that we
know about him are his dreams with angels and Joseph following their or-
ders.
As we prepare for the coming of Jesus, let us remember his earthly parents,
the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, who helped to form Jesus into the man who
saved us all.
Although I do have some little, bitty footnotes of where I got my informa-
tion, below is the bibliography.
(The books that have asterisks are books that I bought & you are welcome to
borrow them.)

St. Joseph’s Powerful Novena
This Novena has proven to be highly effective. It
seems to be pleasing to St. Joseph and helpful to souls.
No particular prayers needed for this novena. Every
day for nine days, turn to St. Joseph in spirit, four times
during the day and honor him in the following four
points. These visits may be made at any time during
the day.
During the first visit, consider all St. Joseph’s fidelity
to grace. Reflect upon the action of the Holy Ghost in
his soul. At the conclusion of this brief meditation,
thank God for so honoring St. Joseph, and at, through
his intersession, for a similar grace.
Later in the day, consider St. Joseph’s fidelity to the
interior life. Study his spirit of recollection. Think,
thank God and ask.
Later still, consider St. Joseph’s love for Our Lady.
Think, thank God, and ask.
Finally, in a fourth visit, reflect upon St. Joseph’s
love for the Divine Child. Think, thank God, and
ask.

Act of Consecration to St. Joseph
O, Dearest St. Joseph, I consecrate myself to thy honor and give myself to
thee, that thou may always be my father, my protector and my guide in the
way of salvation. Obtain for me a great purity of heart and a fervent love of
the interior life. After thine example, may I do all my actions for the
greater glory of God, in union with the Divine Heart of Jesus and the Im-
maculate Heart of Mary! And do thou, O blessed St. Joseph, pray for me
that I may share in the peace and joy of thy holy death. Amen.

Social Justice
Sunday for Malawi
Mark your calendars for July 27, 2014.
Social Justice will sponsor a lunch/
picnic to raise funds for the people of
the town of Kaseye in Northern Malawi.
Elizabeth Hangartner has made many
trips there and has stayed for extended
periods of time – once for two years -
helping with the many needs in the area.
Lately, Thomas and Elizabeth Hangartner, with the assistance of
Wright State University, have assisted Kaseye Community Hospi-
tal with their equipment needs. This year, as reported in the Au-
gust edition of the Spirit, college students under the leadership of
Thomas and Dr. Nasser installed an x-ray machine and trained
personnel to operate the machine.
The needs in the area are great. For one thing, the hospital needs
to upgrade its basic hospital equipment and determine a source of
income to make it self-sustaining, as most of its patients are unable
to pay for services. In addition, the community needs a reliable
and safe source of water supply and cottage industries for the resi-
dents that might take advantage of the plentiful supply of fruits
and other resources in the area, so that they can generate income.
The picnic in July will take the place of Haiti Picnic that had been
temporarily discontinued.
Upcoming Events
Advent Giving Tree:
The Advent Giving Tree is one alternative to traditional Christmas
gift giving that is sponsored by Social Justice Ministry. Rather
than buying presents for family members or friends, families can
instead share their blessings by providing presents for the organi-
zations that are recipients of the Advent Giving Tree program.
The tree will be set in the vestibule at the start of the advent sea-
son. Carol and Dan Berridge prepare the ornaments for the tree
each year. Take as many ornaments as you want and bring the
requested present to QAC wrapped or unwrapped. The gifts will
be delivered to the designated organizations before Christmas.
The Social Justice Ministry provides this sharing resource as a
way to put faith into action. The following is a list of the various
organizations, which you can support through the Advent Giving
Tree this year:
Elisabeth’s New Life Center – pregnancy and family support
Dakota Center - inner city community center for children and
adults
Good Shepherd Ministries – home and job support for post in-
carcerated men
The Griever’s “Holiday” Bill of Rights
1. You have the right to say TIME OUT anytime you need to let
up; blow off a little steam and step away from the holidays to
start over.
2. You have the right to TELL IT LIKE IT IS. When people ask,
“How are you…?” You have the right to tell them how you
really feel, not just what they want to hear. P.S. You also have
the right to smile and say you’re fine because telling them how
you really feel isn’t worth your time—some people will never
understand anyway.
3. You have the right to SOME ‘LOW DOWN’ DAYS. You are
not a bad person because you don’t feel like singing all day.
4. You have the right to DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY. There is
no law that says you must always do the holidays the same
way. You can shop by catalog instead of at the mall. You can
have pizza instead of turkey. Be creative.
5. You have the right to BE WHERE YOU WANT TO BE. Be at
home or at the relatives’. Be in any city, any state you choose.
There is no law that says you must stay home.
6. You have the right to SOME FUN! When you have a day and
feel like doing something for fun, then do it. Don’t be afraid of
what someone else will say if they see you laughing and hav-
ing a good time. Laughter is every bit as important as tears.
7. You have the right to CHANGE DIRECTION IN MID-
STREAM. Holiday grief is unpredictable. You may be all
ready to go somewhere or do something and suddenly be over-
whelmed. When that happens, it’s ok to change your mind.
There is plenty of time in life to be predictable, exercise your
right to change when you need to change.
8. You have the right to DO THINGS AT DIFFERENT TIMES.
Go to services at a different time. Open presents at a different
time. Serve your meal at a different time. Go to bed at a differ-
ent time. Don’t be a slave to the holiday clock.
9. You have the right to REST, PEACE AND SOLITUDE. You
don’t need to be busy all the time. Take a nap whenever you
need one. Take time to pray, to meditate, to recharge your
spirit. It will do you much more good than eating another huge
meal.
10. You have the right to DO IT ALL DIFFERENT AGAIN
NEXT YEAR. Just because you change things one year and try
something different, does not mean you have written it in
stone. Next year, you can always change it back or do it in yet
another new way.

Saint Joseph Saint Joseph was a great and honorable man, so much so, that God chose him to raise His Son,
while he lived on Earth. He was chosen to be the Provider and Protector of Jesus and the Virgin
Spouse to the Virgin Mary. Although he never speaks a word in the Bible, he demonstrated his
ability to fulfill these rolls by his actions – the fleeing to Egypt, the return to Nazareth, and the
search for Jesus for three days before finding him at the Temple. Because of his devotion to God
and his family, he is one of the most powerful Saints in Heaven, after Mary, the Queen of Heaven.
So, since so little is known of him from the Bible, itself, (aside from his genealogy), what is it that
we can infer from what we know?
Although he was older than Mary, he wasn’t ancient (like 90 years or so). Most likely, he was in
his 30s or 40s when they were married. Since he was a carpenter, who in those days also doubled
as a mechanic, he had to be strong to be able to heft large pieces of wood around to fulfill the or-
ders for his business. Since he had to make a living in such a way, he needed to be strong and
healthy.
It is also possible that he was married to another woman before he was married to Mary. In that
day and age, it would have been very unusual for a man of that age to not be married. I suspect
that Joseph was a widower when he heard about someone looking to betroth a young woman
(about age 12) to someone who was from the tribe of Judah. Joseph responded to that call, and,
well, we know the rest.
Once he responded to God’s call, angels told him that he had to keep the secret of whom Jesus and
Mary really were. (I don’t know about you, but I personally would only last about 5 seconds with
a secret THAT big.) It was incredibly important that he act like a normal father would, teaching right from wrong, as well as, teaching him
a trade, so that he could support himself on his own, when the time came. So, I suspect, that Joseph had to mettle out punishments, as
needed, to Jesus. In other words, he had to parent Jesus.
It was also important that he protect Mary and her secret from the world. If people found out that she was pregnant before she was married
to Joseph, she faced the ultimate punishment – being stoned to death. So Joseph became her partner, her protector, and her supporter.
However, due to promises that they made to the Lord (and I suspect, to each other), their marriage was never consummated. This did not
mean that they did not love each other. They had to focus their energies on raising and protecting Jesus, until his ministry could become
public.
(Now, I have come to the truly tricky part of this article. So, please bear with me on this subject. I am sure that some of you will believe
one theory and some of you will believe the other. Unfortunately, there is no proof of either theory being correct. So, I will leave it up to
you to decide for yourself)…Since there is no mention of Joseph at the wedding at Cana, it is generally assumed that Joseph was not there,
and was not around for Jesus’ public ministry. There are two theories as to why he was not around. One, he died, surrounded by Mary and
Jesus, the people he loved most in this world. They mourned his passing and buried him. Opponents to this theory point out that since St.
Joseph was of royal lineage, he would have been buried near his forefathers and a grave marker would have marked his grave. Since this
was not done, one could assume that St. Joseph did not die. Which leads us to the other theory regarding St. Joseph’s disappearance from
Jesus’ life. He could have been Assumed into heaven, just like the Virgin Mary was years later. Opponents to this theory state that the
Virgin was Assumed because she was the vessel that brought Jesus into this world and it would not be right for her to suffer and die, like a
normal human. (For me, personally, I find both arguments intriguing and both of them are plausible.) The official statement from the
Catholic Church, actually, states that Joseph died in the arms of Mary and Jesus.
So, to sum up St. Joseph…he is of royal decent of the House of David. He lived, provided for, and protected the Virgin Mary and Jesus,
Our Savior. I don’t know if there is anything else we really need to know about him.
He has two Feast Days; one is March 19 (so you can celebrate it, after your hangover from St. Patty’s Day has passed. ☺) and the other is
May 1, which is also a feast day for the Virgin Mary.
Joseph is the Patron Saint for families, fathers, expectant mothers (pregnant women), travelers, immigrants, house sellers and buyers, crafts-
men, engineers, orphans, married couples, carpenters,
teachers, lawyers, laborers and working people.

The Lonely Leaf
By Pat Herman
It was autumn, and the beautiful leaves of red and gold
Were turning brown and falling off the trees.
Neighbors were raking piles of leaves and children were
Playing and scattering them around
At last they were all down, except one lonely leaf.
He was sad and missed his friends so much.
He waited and waited to be with them.
It seemed so long and finally a strong gust of wind sent him
Swirling to the ground, the final leaf of fall was happily
Joining his friends, knowing that winter was soon ahead.
A Quiet Christmas Eve By Steve Guilfoos
Driving down an inner city street
I noticed a strange quietness
The snow was falling lightly
And as the traffic lights blinked red and green
The white street lights twinkled like stars
The only thing moving was this man
In clothing tattered and torn
Shuffling down the street in another man’s shoes
His beard was an unkempt straggly mess
Was he looking to simply score another hit
Or for a place to sleep it off
Not being my problem, I continued on home
As I entered my warm and cozy house
I wondered if he could be, as the Sunday book says,
“the least of my brothers”
I wondered if I had missed my chance
To make this silent night
. . . A holy night

QAC STEWARDSHIP - Will you Mail back the Postcard? “so that one who belongs to God
may be competent, equipped for
every good work” (2 Timothy
3:17)
As we enter the Season of Ad-
vent, we should realize that this
isn’t just a time of expectant waiting for the celebra-
tion of the Birth of Jesus, but it is also a time of prepa-
ration to continue the work that was started over 2000
years ago. In today’s world we order many things on-
line and December is the month when we receive
many gifts delivered right to the house. Imagine that
you wake up one morning to find a package on your
front doorstep. Since you didn’t order anything, you
get excited and wonder what special gift you received.
With child-like anticipation you tear open the box and
inside there is a note from God. It reads “My Dear
Friend, I have a very important mission for you. Inside
this package is everything you will need to accomplish
it.”
In the box is a Bible with ribbons marking passages, a
wooden cane and a postcard with the word YES.
When you open the Bible, the rib-
bons highlight scripture readings of
God’s assurance that you will be
helped and that there is a plan for
your life. The road will be hard and
there will be many battles to fight,
but God will send the people you
will need. One final ribbon in the
Bible explains why you need the
cane. Even when it feels like you
aren’t getting anywhere, you will be
limping back and forth and pounding
on doors. No matter what your mission is, it will re-
quire perseverance.
Now the hard part, do you mail back the postcard and
say YES? Do you say “yes” to God’s mission for you,
and use the tools and people that are put in your
path? Will you be humble enough to say yes to the
people God sends your way? This is not an easy an-
swer, but one that needs prayer.
“Lord, guide my footsteps, and strengthen me for the
challenges that I will face in your name. Thank you for
loving me so much that you give me the honor to do
your will on earth.”
A PARED-DOWN CHRISTMAS!
The older and wiser we get, the more and more we are becoming
aware of the “Pared-Down Christmas.” We should want to do
away with all of the extra distractions that the world tells us we need
in order to get the max out of celebrating the holidays. Some people
thrive on a copious stream of holiday activities and they are able to do
it with joyous, generous spirits that celebrate all God has done for
us. You will not find us among these people!
There is nothing wrong with Secret Santas, holiday parties, trips to the
mall, decorating, gift-buying, baking treats, Christmas cards
(involving the always-stressful family photo and writing a newsletter
that makes it seem like we’ve got it all together!). But it becomes an
issue when the tasks pile up and we put unrealistic expectations on
ourselves that steal our joy, keep us running, and distract us from fo-
cusing on the true meaning of Christmas. It’s amazing how filling
our days with the busyness of the season can leave us feeling so
empty.
The Pared-Down Christmas looks different to different people and the
key to its success is to give yourself grace and free yourself of
guilt. You cannot do it all. No one expects you to do it all. Your
family will not die if you do not do it all.
For some of us it includes being ok with NOT sending out Christmas
cards or finding a different, easier way to communicate instead. Make
a family video message or send out a greeting at another, less busy
time of year.
It may mean deciding NOT to travel to faraway family gatherings
every year, and staying home to start a new tradition. Or conversely,
taking the money normally spent on THINGS WE DON’T NEED and
going on a trip that bypasses the obsession with STUFF and refocuses
on spending time with each other making memories. It could mean
baking treats earlier in the season and freezing them. OR if your fam-
ily has developed the expectation that you will always make ALL of
their usual favorites, find a way to end that vicious cycle!
It may include the mutual decision to forgo exchanging gifts with the
other blessed adults in your life (who are just as content as you are
with what they already have) in favor of spending time together or lim-
iting the kids’ gifts to a very few special things and doing away with all
the extra junk.
It might be creating and valuing simple, inexpensive traditions like
taking a pajama drive to look at Christmas lights or listening to a com-
forting old Christmas album by the light of the tree. Simple is beauti-
ful and so much better.
“Simple” is what we should have in mind. The nativity should cele-
brate the real reason for Christmas. Simple is beautiful and so much
better because all of the non-essentials and distractions are gone. All
that’s left is a clear path to celebrating what matters: the simple,
humble and pared-down beginning of Love here on Earth.
