STEWARDSHIP CORNER

Today’s readings take us back to some basics

of stewardship living and demonstrate the genius of this way of life. Our First Reading, from 2 Kings, shows us the necessity and power of hospitality. It recounts the story of a woman who showed loving hospitality to a visitor, inviting him to dinner with her family and arranging a room for him in their home so that he would have a comfortable place to stay during his travels through her town. She reached out to the man in a simple and practical manner to make him feel welcome and was rewarded in an extraordinary way. In our Second Reading, from the Letter to the Romans, St. Paul reminds us of the power of our Baptism and how this sacrament makes us disciples. What does that mean for us here and now? St. Paul tells us very clearly: “You

must think of yourselves as dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus.” We must live for Christ! Nothing less

will do. Our Lord proclaims this same instruction in a rather shocking way in our Gospel passage from Matthew: “Whoever finds his life [by living for oneself] will lose it,

and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” But

how do we lose our life? Precisely through loving actions towards others, loving them as if they were Christ. “Whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these

little ones to drink because the little one is a disciple… he

will surely not lose his reward.” The simple brilliance of stewardship living? Only our infinitely creative, compassionate God could conceive it!

PRAY FOR VOCATIONS “He that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.” Find your life by answering God’s call in your life. Seek him as you strive for

holiness. If you are discerning your vocation, contact Fr. Tom at [email protected] to inquire about vocations or the vocation ministry.

STEWARDSHIP NEWS “…whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not

worthy of me.” (Matthew 10:38)

Pope Benedict XVI said, “The world offers you comfort. But you

were not made for comfort, you were made for greatness.”

“Comfort” puts me first. “Picking up your cross and following

Jesus” puts God and others first. Why settle for comfort when you

can achieve greatness! Pick up your cross, ask Jesus for guidance on using your gifts and live the life God intended for you!
