Sunday: Sir 3:17-18,20,28-29 Ps 68:4-7,10-11 Heb 12:19,22-24a Lk 14:1,7-14 Monday: 1 Thes 4:13-18 Lk 4:16-30 Tuesday: 1 Thes 5:1-6, 9-11 Lk 4:31-37 Wednesday: Col 1:1-8 Lk 4:38-44 Thursday: Col 1:9-14 Lk 5:1-11 Friday: Col 1:15-20 Lk 6:1-5 Saturday: Col 1:21-23 Lk 6:1-5 Sunday: Wis 9:13-18b Ps 90:3-6, 12-17 Phlm 9-10, 12-17 Lk 14:25-33

“Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you.” LUKE 14:14 We have a difficult time with the concept of giving without ex-pecting in return. Even when we give to charity we often want something in return—a raffle ticket, a dinner, or a chance to play golf. Yet, as Christian stewards we need to remember that the true reward for our giving awaits us in heaven.

Faith is that supernatural virtue by which we conquer temptations. By faith, the saints conquered king-doms, wrought justice, stopped the mouths of lions,

quenched the fire of violence, recovered strength from weak-ness, put to flight the armies of foreigners. By faith the dead were raised, the blind and deaf made to see and hear.
