4 When Pope Francis met before Christmas with Vatican employees, mostly lay people with families, he asked them to do 10 things. The list sounded remarkably like suggestions for New Year s resolutions: Take care of your spiritual life, your relationship with God, because this is the backbone of everything we do and everything we are. These are the ten things that he called upon Vatican employees to do: 1. Take care of your spiritual life, your relationship with God, because this is the backbone of everything we do and everything we are. 2. Take care of your family life, giving your children and loved ones not just money, but most of all your time, attention and love. 3. Take care of your relationships with others, transforming your faith into life and your words into good works, especially on behalf of the needy. 4. Be careful how you speak, purify your tongue of offensive words, vulgarity and worldly decadence. 5. Heal wounds of the heart with the oil of forgiveness, forgiving those who have hurt us and medicating the wounds we have caused others. 6. Look after your work, doing it with enthusiasm, humility, competence, passion and with a spirit that knows how to thank the Lord. 7. Be careful of envy, lust, hatred and negative feelings that devour our interior peace and transform us into destroyed and destructive people. 8. Watch out for anger that can lead to vengeance; for laziness that leads to existential euthanasia; for pointing the finger at others, which leads to pride; and for complaining continually, which leads to desperation. 9. Take care of brothers and sisters who are weaker the elderly, the sick, the hungry, the homeless and strangers, because we will be judged on this. 10. Making sure your Christmas is about Jesus and not about shopping. Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God Page 4

13 St. Matthew s Financial Corner ( Former Tax Collector & Patron Saint of Money / Feast Day Sept 21 st ) Turn Your TAXABLE RMD (Required Minimum Distributions) into Charitable Donations. IRS rules mandate that individuals age 70 1/2 and older take RMDs from their IRA each year, regardless of whether the is needed. These annual withdrawals are subject to ordinary income taxes. By making a charitable contri-bution from your IRA, you can satisfy your RMD amount without reporting additional income. This provision may be especially attractive for retirees who don t need all the income from their IRA to meet current living expenses. By donating the money to your charity, you can enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that you are contributing to a worthy cause while effectively lowering your tax bill.
