Stewardship Reflection for this Sunday
“Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s.”
– Matthew 22:21
Everything we are and everything we have belongs to God. We aren’t “owners” of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has given each of us. All God is asking is that we give back a portion of what He gave us. This is the essence of Stewardship. God should be our first priority in everything. All else comes second, especially our money.

Respect Life – Pope Benedict's Prayer for the Unborn
Pope Benedict’s Prayer For the Unborn
Lord Jesus,
You who faithfully visit and fulfill with your Presence
the Church and the history of men;
You who in the miraculous Sacrament of your Body and Blood
render us participants in divine Life
and allow us a foretaste of the joy of eternal Life;
We adore and bless you.
Prostrated before You, source and lover of Life,
truly present and alive among us, we beg you.
Reawaken in us respect for every unborn life,
make us capable of seeing in the fruit of the maternal womb
the miraculous work of the Creator,
open our hearts to generously welcoming every child
that comes into life.
Bless all families,
sanctify the union of spouses,
render fruitful their love.
Accompany the choices of legislative assemblies
with the light of your Spirit,
so that peoples and nations may recognize and respect
the sacred nature of life, of every human life.
Guide the work of scientists and doctors,
so that all progress contributes to the integral well-being of the person,
and no one endures suppression or injustice.
Give creative charity to administrators and economists,
so they may realize and promote sufficient conditions
so that young families can serenely embrace
the birth of new children.
Console the married couples who suffer
because they are unable to have children
and in Your goodness provide for them.
Teach us all to care for orphaned or abandoned children,
so they may experience the warmth of your Charity,
the consolation of your divine Heart.
Together with Mary, Your Mother, the great believer,
in whose womb you took on our human nature,
we wait to receive from You, our Only True Good and Savior,
the strength to love and serve life,
in anticipation of living forever in You,
in communion with the Blessed Trinity.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help Home Fundraiser
Parishes of the Archdiocese of Atlanta typically support Our Lady of Perpetual Help Cancer Home in October each year through their famous raffle and auction/luncheon. This year the raffle and luncheon have been cancelled. The Home, run by the Hawthorne Dominican Sisters, still welcomes patients and gives a loving and understanding atmosphere for many suffering from cancer who have no resources for nursing care. From their website www.olphhome.com, “In the words of Mother Alphonsa: We must make our guests as comfortable and happy as if their own people had kept them and put them into the very best bedroom. We must love them.”

Stewardship Reflection For this Sunday
“My God will supply whatever you need…” – Philippians 4:19
God really does provide for those who are grateful and generous. This is very difficult for people that don’t live a stewardship lifestyle to believe. People are skeptical and say it’s just coincidence. If you are skeptical, try living a stewardship lifestyle for just one month – be generous with your gifts of time in prayer, talent in charitable works and treasure and see how God provides for your needs.

Stewardship Reflection for this Sunday
“The stone the builders rejected has become the corner stone…” – Matthew 21:42
Jesus was rejected by the religious and political leaders of his day, as well as ordinary citizens. Living a stewardship lifestyle may cause you to be “rejected” by others in today’s society. For example, saying grace before a meal in a restaurant may attract some strange looks from some. But to others it is sign that God is alive and well!
