REFLECTION
“Be doers of the word and not hearers only…” JAMES 1:22
It’s easy to understand the definition of stewardship. The hard part is living it! What do you
do to live God’s word? Do you share your time in prayer with God? Do you use your talent
to help those in need? Are you generous with your financial resources? If not, what are you
waiting for?
LEAVE A LEGACY: You make a significant gift to our parish that costs you nothing
during your lifetime. Consider including our parish in your will.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
How can I avoid hypocrisy and embrace the spirit of
God’s commands? Am I merely fulfilling my Sunday
obligation or am I a “doer of the word,” putting God’s
word into action?
