THE GREAT ADVENTURE CONTINUES

We need to finish our reading for Lesson #22, “The Church, Part 2”: Acts 8:5–15:35. Additional readings and references include: 1 Timothy 1:12–17, Mt 15:11 and 15:19–20, and the Catechism #’s 880–892.

We will meet next week, January 9–13, to view the DVD on Lesson #22. I hope you took some time for yourself to truly read, reflect and savor the Scriptures amid the bustle of December.

PLEASE NOTE LOCATION CHANGES: On Saturday, January 9, the Great Adventure DVD will be shown AFTER the 5:30 pm Mass in the Social Hall. On Sunday, January 10, the DVD will be shown in the Social Hall BEFORE Mass and in Room 6 of the Family Life Center AFTER Mass.

The traditional image of St. Paul has shown him holding an open book of Scripture and a sword. These symbols remind us of both his courageous labors in starting churches and his role in providing the Church with “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God”.

(Eph 6:17). (www.osv.com/Year of St.Paul)

“Making All Things New” Stewardship and New Year’s Resolutions

Stewardship is a commitment to a way of life that needs constant renewal. This time of year has always been one of looking forward to a new year, reflecting on the changes we need to make in our lives and resolving to follow through on those changes. Perhaps those who seek to make resolutions to be better stewards might find inspiration in the following samples:

Stewardship of Prayer: Resolve to strengthen your relationship with God. Notice how often you pray and what hinders you from praying.

Stewardship of Family: Resolve to set aside more time to stay connected with your family. Eat dinner together, schedule regular dates with your spouse, plan family outings and go to Mass together.

Stewardship of Health: Resolve to get those medical and dental checkups. Adopt healthier eating habits. Add exercise and other physical activity to your daily routine.

Stewardship of Possessions: Resolve to possess a little more “lightly” this year. Consider ways you can reduce the amount of all that stuff you own. Distinguish between those items that are necessary and those that are considered luxurious and unnecessary.

Stewardship of the Parish Family: Resolve to serve your church in some way this year; an example...through the various ministries that are offered.

Stewardship of Money: Resolve to reprioritize your financial goals to ensure that the Lord comes first in your spending. Take positive steps to improve your financial health.

Stewardship of Work: Resolve to be faithful to your daily, work- related tasks. Cultivate your skills. Deepen your knowledge. Be mindful of how you are building the Kingdom of God.

Stewardship of Mind: Resolve to keep your mind active. Commit to being more informed on the issues of the day.

Stewardship of Neighbor: Resolve to be a person of hospitality; to make time and space for others who enter your life. Be more aware of those times when a neighbor, co-worker, fellow parishioner or stranger needs a moment of kindness, a little attention or an affirming gesture on your part.

Stewardship of the Poor: Resolve to live with more compassion and in solidarity with those less fortunate. Remember the poor in prayer, and commit to helping relieve in some way the plight of those who are impoverished or marginalized.
