Theme: In today's Gospel r eading, Jesus asks of his disciples and of us to " Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven. Perhaps Matthew’s Gospel challenges us to reflect on how we hear God's call. Do we hear God's words as consoling, hopeful and eminently possible? The Gospel really is good news.

STEWARDSHIP A DISCIPLE'S RESPONSE A Pastoral Letter on Stewardship—10th Anniversary Edition
(Part 2—this reflection will be updated every second week)
THE VISION
Jesus’ invitation to follow him is addressed to people of every time and condition. Here and now it is addressed to us—Catholic citizens of a wealthy, powerful nation facing many questions about its identity and role in the waning years of a troubled century, members of a community of faith blessed with many human and material resources yet often uncertain about how to sustain and use them.
As bishops, we wish to present a vision that suits the needs and problems of the Church in our country today and speaks to those who practice Christian stewardship in their particular circumstances. What we say here is directed to ourselves as much as to you who read these words. As bishops, we recognize our obligation to be models of stewardship in all aspects of our lives. We must be stewards in our prayer and worship, in how we fulfill our pastoral duties, in our custody of the Church’s doctrine, spiritual resources, personnel, and funds, in our lifestyle and use of time, and even in such matters as the attention we give to personal health and recreation.
As we ask you to respond to the challenge of stewardship, we pray that we also will be open to the grace to respond. We pray that the Holy Spirit, whose gracious action conforms us to Jesus Christ and to the Church, will enlighten us all and help us to renew our commitment as the Lord’s disciples and as stewards of his bountiful gifts.
I. The Call Stewardship is part of discipleship. But Christian discipleship begins with vocation, the call to follow Jesus and imitate his way of life. This pastoral letter therefore begins with vocation. Then it presents a very general overview of stewardship, considered in the context of discipleship, noting that people first of all are stewards of the personal vocations they receive from God. Discipleship and the practice of stewardship constitute a way of life that is both privileged and challenging.
II. Jesus’ Way Next, the pastoral letter focuses more closely on the idea of stewardship, relying on the teaching and life of Jesus to probe its meaning. It considers the implications for disciples of Jesus engaged in stewardship. One of these is that all are called to evangelize, to share the Good News with others. And what is the reward to which good stewards can look forward? The answer is perfect fulfillment in God’s Kingdom—a kingdom already present, real but imperfect, in this world, which Jesus’ disciples help bring to its full reality by the practice of stewardship. “As each one of has received a gift, used to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied
grace (1Peter 4:10).”
