Thank you for going above and beyond during the Advent season by donating clothing, toys and gifts to families in need along with the amazing sock and underwear drive. We are most grateful for all you do to support and join our mission of serving those in poverty of mind, body or spirit. Called to Share The first disciples of Jesus in today s Gospel left their work and their daily routines to follow him. They abandoned their livelihoods, familiar surroundings and the lives to which they had become accustomed to be closer to him. The good steward finds ways to be removed from what may be a comfortable existence or daily routine in order to serve the Lord more faithfully. All too often, out of fear, insecurity or even selfishness, we refuse to leave the safety of the little world we have created for ourselves in order to hear the Lord s call and be challenged by his Gospel. Perhaps we should reflect on what comforts we need to sacrifice in order to be better stewards of God s mercy, compassion and hospitality he planted within us.
