Stewardship thru 2-20-17 $ 649,141.00

“Thus should one regard us: as servants of Christ and

stewards of the mysteries of God. Now it is of course

required of stewards that they be found trustworthy.”

1 Corinthians 4:1-2

A Christian steward is a person who loves both God and

neighbor. A steward shares his or her gifts from God in

justice and love of others.

THE EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Isaiah 49:14-15 • Psalm 62:2-3, 6-9

1 Corinthians 4:1-5 • Matthew 6:24-34

Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to

your life-span? Matthew 6:27

Jesus was obviously not thinking about exercise, a careful

diet and regular checkups with your primary care physician

as means to improve one’s longevity. Careful planning and

thoughtful action are not to be confused with worry. The

kind of obsessive thinking that troubles many of us—maybe

all of us at some time or other—worrying isn’t a rational

calculation. We don’t do it because we think it does some

good. It feels like a reflex, and has been described as “a

down payment on problems that may never happen.” Or

even if some catastrophe will happen—like one’s own

death—worrying controls nothing. But it sure can make

you miserable.

This, I think, is why Jesus brings it up. Needless,

pointless, useless worry does us no good. Meanwhile it

diminishes our enjoyment of simple things like sparrows

and flowers and green grass. Jesus is inviting us to trust

and let go. Let’s give it a try today.

Dear God,

We are fast approaching a time for reflection and renewal. All our actions will lead us to the

promise of Easter. Please guide us in our daily routines so that we might find you in the

ordinary. Gift us with healing self-reflections so that we may become the people you would like

for us to be. Bless us with your graces in our darkest hours when our minds are filled with

indecisions, regrets, doubts and fear. Teach us humility so that we may continue in the paths

of your Son. We ask this of you in the name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

Montessori Night at the Races Saturday - March 4 - St. Joseph Parish Hall

6:00 p.m.—Cocktails, entertainment and silent auction. 7:00 p.m.—Dinner, racing on the big screen, live auction and more! $70 per person advance. $80 per person at door. $500 table of 8.

Once again, our community will be one of many cities from coast to coast joining together for the 40 Days for Life

campaign - March 1 – April 9, 2017. 40 Days for Life is a prayerful effort designed to raise awareness, save lives, bring

healing, and lead our nation to repentance and healing through three pillars of Christian belief.

1). 40 days of Ongoing Prayer Vigil 2). 40 days of Fasting 3). 40 days of Public Witness

We pray that hearts of mothers will change, and that their children will be spared from the tragedy of abortion. Also, we

pray for post-abortive mothers to seek forgiveness and help through Project Rachel, a post-abortion ministry of the

Archdiocese of Louisville.

Over 300 cities are participating! The fruits of this effort are incredible with over 12,000 babies and their moms

spared from the tragedy of abortion including over 30 that were saved last year here in Louisville!

Over the years we have received comments from many parishioners who had a very powerful spiritual experience

and a better awareness of the sanctity of life after they spent an hour in prayer at the abortion site. In 2016 over 3,000

mothers entered the local abortion facility, so your prayers and public witness are greatly needed to promote a culture of

life. To sign up go to https://40daysforlife.com/local-campaigns/louisville/ or call 502-475-5403.

Psalm 139:13 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am

fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.

Our 1st Fish Fry will be

held this Friday, March 3,

from 4:30 till 7:30 p.m.

Cancer is scary, but at Flaget Memorial Hospital, we never give up hope. And neither do our patients. So join us

and hear amazing stories from some of our cancer survivors and dedicated staff, and learn how you can be part of

Project Hope. You’re invited to the “Stories of Hope” event at Flaget Memorial Hospital on Thursday,

March 9, from 5:00—6:00 p.m. to learn something about Flaget Memorial Hospital that you don’t already know

and hear stories of hope from our community at the next “Stories of Hope” event. This free event includes a tour,

a special guest speaker, food and more. RSVP: AndreaShepherd@KentuckyOneHealth.org or 502.993.8896

2017 Black and Indian Missions Collection

Next weekend, we’ll take up the annual Black and Indian

Mission Collection. This collection exists to help diocesan

communities bui8ld the Church and preach the Gospel of Jesus

among the African American, Native American, and Alaska

Native people of God. Your donations help fund parish-based

catechetical programs, support teacher and catechists

professional development, encourage vocations to the

priesthood and religious life, and create diocesan structures,

such as our own archdiocesan Office of Multicultural Ministry,

that support ministry and evangelization in these diverse

cultural communities. Please help if you can.
