STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION
Stewards are God's People
“But this is the covenant which I will make the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord. I will place my law within them, and write it upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they shall be my people." (Jeremiah 31:33)

What does it mean to be God's people? It means that first we recognize that everything we have and everything we are truly belong to God. It also means that we are willing to use our gifts and lives in Stewardship. We are to take care of the world as God takes care of us.


FAMILY PERSPECTIVES
By Bud Ozar
Today's Gospel teaches about sacrificial love. Dying to our selves is the key to successful relationships. Forgiveness is heart of communal living. Family life and relationships require us to "love one another as I have loved you."


STATIONS OF THE CROSS
(thru Lent except during Holy Week).
St. Michael’s – Fridays 7:00 p.m. St. Anthony’s – Tuesdays 7:00 p.m.
