June 14, Body & Blood of Christ
The focus of today’s feast is the total self-giving of Jesus. The bishops’ stewardship pastoral reminds us that "the glory and the boast of Christian stewards lie in mirroring, however poorly, the stewardship of Jesus Christ, who gave and still gives all he has and is, in order to be faithful to God’s will and carry through.

June 21, Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fathers Day
Let us today give thanks to our Father in Heaven for the calmness that follows each of the storms in our lives. How can I use my gifts to calm the storms in other people's lives?

June 28, Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
As we reflect on our stewardship this week, let us remember the words of Jesus in today's Gospel: "Do not be afraid; just have faith."  (Mark 5:36b)

July 5, Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
This weekend as we celebrate the Independence of our country, we will do well to echo the Psalmist, saying, "Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy." May we always recognize and use wisely the gifts of freedom and abundance He has showered upon us.

July 12, Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Today’s readings are about being chosen and sent. The prophet Amos was chosen by the Lord and sent to use his talents for the peoples of God. The Gospel recounts the story of the sending the twelve disciples; and in the second reading, St. Paul reminds us that we, too, are chosen. For what have I have chosen? To whom have I been sent?

July 19, Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
In today’s Gospel, Jesus had planned to slip away from the crowds for a few moments of peace and a little rest. When He saw the people gathered, however, He put His needs aside to meet the needs of others. Sometimes, as good stewards, we are called to do the same.

July 26, Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
"The hand of the Lord feeds us," says the Psalmist, "he answers all our needs." Both Elisha’s servant in the first reading and the disciples in the Gospel story who witnessed the feeding of the five thousand saw this happen and knew it to be true.

August 2, Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
The crowd in today’s Gospel demanded a sign of Jesus and wanted to know what "work" He did to inspire their faith. May our faithful stewardship be a sign to others that we, like the Ephesians in the second reading, have laid aside our former way of life and acquired a "fresh, spiritual way of thinking" in Christ.

August 9, Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
The gifts of God that the angel brought to Elijah – food, water, rest, and encouragement – were given, not for his own good alone, but to strengthen him for service. How am I using my gifts to serve others?

August 16. Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
"Those who seek the Lord want for no good thing," says today’s Psalm. But in the second reading St. Paul reminds us that, thus blessed by the Lord, the good steward should "give thanks to God the Father always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

August 23, Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time
In today’s first reading, Joshua challenges the people to decide whom they will serve. Recalling God’s faithfulness to them and to their ancestors, the people declare, "We also will serve the Lord, for he is our God." May we, too, be mindful of God’s gifts to us and renew our commitment to serve Him with grateful hearts.

August 30, Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
"Every worthwhile gift, every genuine benefit comes from above," says St. James in the second reading. But, he reminds us, true worship of God involves using those good gifts to benefit the less fortunate. Good stewardship is not optional; it is the hallmark of our faith!

September 6, Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
The good steward must not show favoritism. The rich may have many material gifts to share, but St. James reminds us in the second reading that God has chosen the world’s poor to be rich in faith and inheritors of God’s kingdom.
