Stewardship Reflection, August 4, 2024, 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Each day the people are to go out and gather their daily portion; thus will I test them, to see whether they follow my instructions or not.” EXODUS 16:4
When the Israelites gathered more than their daily portion of manna, the surplus became wormy and rotten. In the same way today, self-reliance, pride and ego leads to hoarding and excessive surplus of goods and money. Living a stewardship lifestyle helps us discern our “wants” from our “needs”. Living a grateful and generous lifestyle reminds us that God will provide all that we need and that we have plenty to share.
4 de agosto de 2024, Domingo 180 del Tiempo Ordinario
“Cada día, el pueblo irá y recogerá sólo lo necesario para ese día. De esta manera los pondré a prueba para saber si realmente obedecen mis leyes.” ÉXODO 16:4
Cuando los israelitas recogían más de su porción diaria de maná, el excedente se pudría y se llenaba de gusanos. De la misma forma en nuestros días, la autosuficiencia, el orgullo y el ego nos llevan al acaparamiento y al excedente excesivo de bienes y dinero. Vivir un estilo de vida de corresponsabilidad nos ayuda a discernir nuestros “deseos” de nuestras “necesidades”. Vivir un estilo de vida agradecido y generoso nos recuerda que Dios proveerá todo lo que necesitamos y que tenemos mucho para compartir.

Stewardship Reflection, August 11, 2024, 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Get up and eat or the journey will be too much for you!” 1 KINGS 19:7
God knows that committing to a stewardship lifestyle is difficult. However, we were not designed to do it on our own, we need God's help. Fortunately, God gave us the greatest gift of all, His son, Jesus. Through the gift of the Eucharist, we unite our sacrifice with Jesus' sacrifice to do the will of God, Our Father. We receive the strength and courage to be His missionary disciples.
11 de agosto de 2024, Domingo 190 del Tiempo Ordinario
“Levantate y come porque te espera un largo viaje!” 1 REYES 19:7
Dios sabe que comprometerse con un estilo de vida de corresponsabilidad es difícil. Sin embargo, no estamos diseñados para hacerlo por nosotros mismos, necesitamos la ayuda de Dios. Afortunadamente, Dios nos dio el mayor de los dones, Su hijo, Jesús. A través del don de la Eucaristía, unimos nuestro sacrificio al de Jesús para hacer la voluntad de Dios, Nuestro Padre. Recibimos la fortaleza y el coraje para ser Sus discípulos misioneros.

Stewardship Reflection, August 18, 2024, 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.” John 6:56
This line from Scripture is what ultimately separates Catholics from our Protestant brothers and sisters. Jesus is really present in the bread and wine that are consecrated at Holy Mass. It is His actual body and blood that we consume. This is the greatest gift that we can receive. The Eucharist shows us how great of love that Jesus has for each of us.
18 de agosto de 2024, Domingo 200 del Tiempo Ordinario
“Cualquiera que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre permanece en mí y yo en él.” Juan 6:56
Esta línea de la Sagrada Escritura es la que al final separa a los Católicos de nuestros hermanos Protestantes. Jesús está realmente presente en el pan y el vino que se consagran en la Santa Misa. Consumimos realmente su cuerpo y su sangre. Ese es el don más grande que podemos recibir. La Eucaristía nos muestra cuan grande es el amor de Jesús por nosotros.

Stewardship Reflection, August 25, 2024, 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time
“If it does not please you to serve the Lord, decide today whom you will serve…As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” JOSHUA 24:15
When we commit to serve the Lord, we become a disciple in the work of the Lord. A disciple is a person who spends time in prayer every day, joyfully participates in charitable works and generously supports their local parish and Church mission. If we say we serve God, our words and actions should reflect the Gospel message to others.
25 de agosto de 2024, Domingo 210 del Tiempo Ordinario
“Y si no les parece bien servir al Señor, escojan hoy a quién han de servir... Por mi parte mi familia y yo, serviremos al Señor.” JOSUÉ 24:15
Cuando nos comprometemos a servir al Señor, nos convertimos en discípulos en el trabajo del Señor. Un discípulo es una persona que pasa el tiempo en oración cada dia, participa con alegría en obras de caridad y apoya generosamente su parroquia y la misión de la Iglesia. Si decimos que servimos a Dios, nuestras palabras y acciones deben reflejar el mensaje del Evangelio a los demás.
