“Brothers and sisters, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.”
                                                                                                                                                                            – 1 Corinthians 10:31

Do a quick check of your priorities.  Where does God rank in that list?  If He’s not first, you have some work to do.  Putting God first in everything helps us from putting other “gods” (like our pride, ego, money and possessions) before God.  Before making a decision, ask yourself, “I’m I going this for the glory of God or for the glory of me?”

Livestream of Vigil Mass for the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time – February 6, 2021

“Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed…He told them, ‘Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also.  For this purpose have I come.’”
                                                               – Mark 1:35, 38

In today’s Gospel reading we see a perfect example of stewardship.  Jesus gives His time to do all that God wishes – healing the sick and preaching.  But before He begins, Jesus makes time to be alone with God in prayer.  It is through prayer, spending time with God, that we find the strength to do what He wishes us to do.  Be sure to find time every day to be with God.

Stewardship Reflection for this Sunday

Flocknote

“Brothers and sisters:  I should like you to be free of anxieties.”  – 1 Corinthians 7:32

How much anxiety do we bring upon ourselves by constantly worrying about not having enough or attaining more things?  God won’t necessarily give you everything you want, but He will provide everything you need.   Try this – use the word “pray” instead of the word “worry” in the future.  Then pray for things instead of worrying about them.
