Michael Hendrickson = MH Fr. Paolo Gobbo = FP Fr. Michael Gazzingan = MG Fr. Paul Goda = PG Fr. Paul Soukup = PS TRUE STEWARDSHIP The gospel message proclaimed throughout the New Testament invites us to live in harmony with the world. This is a challenge to care for the world and be stewards of all that God has given us. Like generations before us, we are entrusted with the care of the earth so that generations to follow may enjoy the same gifts. Sometimes, however, we are absorbed into the ways of the world. When we are of the world, we rely heavily on the power of wealth, beauty, fame, and accumulation of material possessions. We want earthly possessions and carelessly turn our hearts from the responsibilities of stewardship and conservation. The readings today challenge us to walk away from the world so that we might inherit our share of God s kingdom. How we live our lives directly reflects our love for God. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

At our baptism, the crown of our head was once slathered (or at last dabbed) with oil while the Church prayed as Christ was anointed priest, prophet and king, so may you live always as his body. To celebrate Christ s kingship, then, is to claim our own identity. Your head was anointed just as Samuel poured oil over David s head. David had his gifts, but he was no prize, and perhaps that might comfort you as you think about your call, out of the messiness of your own life, to stretch into a lifestyle that is marked by worship, by prophetic speech and deeds, and the kingly ability to fashion a world (or at least a patch of it) where relationships are marked by justice, mercy, and cultivation of the good. It is precisely because of this kingly role that our faith community has something to say about the environment, about the dignity of human life, just wages, access to health care and education, the building of peace, and avoidance of war. In a few weeks time we will hymn the coming of the newborn king, but today we sketch out the meaning of his reign, and our own incorporation into his work for the life of the world. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. ANNUAL DIOCESAN LAYETTE Donation are now being taken for the Diocesan Layette Program.
