It is challenging and even difficult, in many respects, yet intense joy comes to those who take the risk to live as Christian stewards. Women and men who seek to live as stewards learn that "all things work for good for those who love God" (Rom 8:28). After Jesus, we look to Mary as an ideal steward. As the Mother of Christ, she lived her ministry in a spirit of fidelity and service; she responded generously to the call. We must ask ourselves: Do we also wish to be disciples of Jesus Christ and Christian stewards of our world and our Church? Central to our human and Christian vocations, as well as to the unique vocation each one of us receives from God, is that we be good stewards of the gifts we possess. WEEKLY PARISH STEWARDSHIP OF TREASURE Thank you for your continued support of The Proto-Cathedral of St. James the Greater. June 10th 2018 Loose: $2,190 Envelopes: $4,720 Online Giving: $4,987 Total: $11,897 2
