~ Our Lady Queen of Martyrs ~
Dear Parishioners,
I can’t say thank you enough to everyone for all your help this past Sunday. “Project Oklahoma Bat For A Cause” was a
huge success. In total between this event and the money we raised a few months ago at the bake sale
we reached $3,042.00!! This money will be donated to the Catholic Charities of Oklahoma and will
go to either building a new home for a family in need or
will go to rebuilding a church that was destroyed. Thank
you to everyone who volunteered to help on Sunday, who
donated food and supplies, and to everyone who came
out to support this cause. A special thank you goes to
Deacon Chris, Mrs. Dodge, Mrs. Dreher, and Father
John. These four people helped me
every step of the way to make this event
happen. They stood by me through all
the ups and downs, participated in every
way they could, and they worked so hard
to make this event happen. I cant thank them enough for all of their hard work
and dedication. I am so grateful to be a part of such an active parish. I have met
many wonderful parishioners over the past few years and it is so hard for me to say
goodbye. I am so grateful that God sent my family to this parish and I will miss this
community so much! I will continue to keep you all in my prayers while I am away
at school and hope that I have inspired the
youth to become more active with their faith!
God put us all here for one reason and we should continue to
bring people closer together to practice the faith that God gave us.
God Bless You All,
~ Mackenzie Bartlett ~

ARE YOU BEING CALLED?
In September the Diocese will be inviting us to
offer names of people to be trained as
Eucharist Ministers and Lectors.
A few thoughts to consider about these Ministries...
The Ministry of Lector
Eucharistic Minister
As you listen each Sunday, you hear that we
have very fine lectors here at Our Lady Queen
of Martyrs. Anyone who is interested in
becoming a lector here at the parish are asked
to note the following:
•
First of all this is a ministry – it is not
simply a role which a person accepts because
he or she might be a good reader. Being a lector
is much more than simply reading words from
a book. It is proclaiming God’s word from the
sacred scriptures!! These words are holy and
the lector is called to proclaim them to our faith
community. We are all called to hear the real
presence of God in these words.
•
A lector is called to believe the words
he or she reads. The lector should strive to
understand the message and to reflect on the
words that are proclaimed to the parish.
•
This is a ministry of service, as is that
of a Eucharistic Minister. God’s word and His
presence in His Body and Blood we administer
bring with them significant responsibility.
Service calls us to ministry, not always at
our convenience but to be of service to the
community as needed.
As you see at each Mass, we have a number
of Eucharistic Ministers who help distribute
the Body and Blood of Jesus. We also have
Eucharistic Ministers who visit parishioners
who are ill or homebound, bringing them Holy
Communion.
•
Eucharistic Ministers help distribute the
Body and Blood of Jesus to our faith community.
We are called in this ministry to offer the Body
and Blood of Jesus to one another. As the
minister holds the Body of Christ or the cup
with His precious Blood, we are called to see
Christ, His real presence, before us. We are
also to see Christ in the person who comes to
us for communion, and most especially we are
to reflect Christ for others to find Him in us as
we share communion. We become unite by the
Body and Blood of Christ. Hence the reason we
receive both His Body and His Blood.
•
We prepare for this ministry by prayer
and reflection. Serving as a Eucharistic Minister
is not giving something to others, but rather,
sharing someone, Jesus, with one another.
Reverence and deep love and respect for the
Eucharist, and a firm belief in the Real Presence,
is critical to this ministry.
Considering either one of these two ministries comes with expectations of commitment and
availability. Our faith community is dependent on those who serve to be present at the liturgies
for which they are scheduled. We do understand certain considerations and take this into account
in preparing the schedules. If you are prayerfully considering serving as a lector or Eucharistic
Minister at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, you are invited to write a letter to the Pastor, Father John
Gilmartin, stating your desire and interest. Thank you for your willingness to serve.

Sunday, August 18, 2013
20th Sunday in Ordinary Time
A Reading from the Book of the prophet Jeremiah
Jeremiah never wanted to be a prophet. He accepted the calling reluctantly but once he said yes to God
he did not turn back. He spoke the truth to power and the powers that be did not like it. They tried to
kill him but the power of God saved him. It has always been difficult if not dangerous to speak truth to
power and it is so today, in so many ways, on so many levels.
A Reading from the Letter to the hebrews
Every one of us has times of extreme suffering. Sometimes it is physical, sometimes emotional or mental
and often it comes from being misunderstood, falsely accused or betrayed. At those times it is most difficult to look past the suffering to a new horizon, new possibilities, perhaps new or deeper relationships.
This reading reminds us of the suffering of Jesus. Most of us have thought of the suffering of Jesus on
the cross but that is not something we have experienced. How about His suffering of betrayal, being so
misunderstood, falsely judged and abandoned by so many He trusted? This reading tells us that Jesus
endured all this so that we might not grow weary and lose heart. We can look to Jesus when we are in
danger of losing heart and know that He has shared that same pain. Our God is not one who hides in
the clouds somewhere but rather lives with us as we journey together.
REFLECTIONS ON A READING FROM THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE
Who is this Jesus who sounds so violent? Where is the Jesus of peace that Luke talks about throughout
his gospel? Jesus is now coming to the end of His short life and He sees the pervasive evil Roman Empire
and many of the religious leaders of the time. He knows that His message is divisive, that it will divide
families and communities against one another. What a burden that must have been for Him to carry.
Have you ever lost a relationship with a friend, family member, neighbor or co-worker because of a message they did not or could not hear? You try to say it in the most loving way possible but it is rejected and
you are as well. Know that Jesus was there in His life and is there now with you in your loss.
~ Tweets to transform your life and change the world ~
Creation did not only happen in the beginning. It is happening all the time and you and I are co-creators.
Imagine that, we co-create with God.

“FREEDOM, HAPPINESS AND THE
CHRISTIAN LIFE”
All of us value freedom, but we rarely stop to think
about what it really means to be free. All of us want
to be happy, but often we cannot figure out what
will bring us true happiness. Chris Vogt will explain
some of the ways that Catholic theology can enrich
our understanding of freedom and happiness, and
help us explore con -nections between happiness
and everyday Christian spiritual practices.
All are welcome!

Alban Butler

In today’s Gospel Jesus said to his disciples:
“I have come to set the earth on fire, and how
I wish it were already blazing! There is a
baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great
is my anguish until it be accomplished! Your gift to the
Society to assist those suffering in poverty will help set
the earth on fire with God’s love.
