“After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God….” – Mark 1:14

Do you ever think about how difficult it must have been for Jesus to come into Galilee, knowing that John had just been arrested for teaching the same message that Jesus was proclaiming.  It must have taken great love and trust for Jesus to do what the Father had sent Him here on earth to do.  In the same way, following a life of stewardship takes great love and trust from us.  We must be willing to surrender completely to God, trusting that God will always give us all that we need to fulfill His plan for us.

“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?”

Lent beings on Feb. 17 – 40 days of preparation. 

It’s a journey of prayer, fasting and almsgiving, which culminates in the great celebration of Easter. 

Every year on Ash Wednesday, @CatholicReliefServices launches #CRSRiceBowl, their program to help guide you and your family through Lent.

“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.
