EVERYDAY STEWARDSHI P
My oldest son was having a tougher time than expected in his first year of college. In high school he ex-pected to get As and be one of the smarter kids in the class. Now, he was at a school where everyone came from a similar experience in high school, and he found himself pretty darn average. His mother and I urged him early on to seek some help from a tutor. He gasped. When he was in high school, he WAS the tutor. After some reflection he said, "I just like to do things on my own." So often many of us are like that. We find it hard to accept help. We
think maybe it says something about our lack of capability or skill to reach out for help. When help is offered to us, we can quickly respond, "No thanks, I'm fine." It is amazing how sometimes we are anything but fine. Living a stewardship way of life as a committed disciple of Jesus is not easy. In fact, we are guaranteed to fail. That inevitable failure is called sin. Grace makes it possible for us to continue on the journey. On that first Pentecost, the first followers of Jesus received the Holy Spirit who would guide them. For over two thousand years, that same Spirit has
moved in us and guided us. Help for the journey is always available. Sin and temptation constantly seek to impede our steps. But through the gifts of this Spirit we can discern and make wise judgments, lessening the toll life can exact on us. Reach out and take the hand of God; allow his Spirit to lead you and guide you. Don't look back after making the journey harder than it used to be and say, "I just liked doing things on my own." You are never alone. Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS © Liturgical Publications Inc

“It is better to have a Church that is wounded but out in the streets than a Church that is sick because it is closed in on itself. “
“Dear Parents, have great pa-tience, and forgive from the depths of our heart.”
“Why is it so difficult to tolerate the faults of others? Have we for-gotten that Jesus bore our sins? “

CYCLE B MAY 24, 2015
Pentecost Sunday
"'Rivers of living water will flow from within him who
believes in me.' He said this in reference to the Spir-
it." Rivers of living water. What does this image make
us think of? Something active. Something dynamic
and changing, yet constant and dependable. A river
with living water is not stagnant; it is not silent, but
rather it speaks. This river is not mucky or full of al-
gae. This river is clear, beautiful, refreshing, and life-
giving. It draws people to its banks by providing the
kind of water that sustains life and the kind of scen-
ery that is a joy to behold.
Those who believe in Jesus will be like this river.
Through the Spirit of Christ, which first came upon
Christian believers at Pentecost and which came up-
on us at our baptism, we become a source of "living
water." Instead of being motionless, dull, murky, un-
productive people, we are strengthened by God's
power to be dynamic, refreshing, and life-giving.
This isn't automatic, however. We must cooperate
with the Spirit that has been given to us. Those of us
who have received confirmation have been sacra-
mentally gifted with the fullness of the Spirit, but that
doesn't mean that the living water is flowing at full
speed. As St. Paul wrote in his second letter to Timo-
thy, we need to "stir into flame the gift of God" (1:6).
The flame may be there, but if we don't fan it through
prayer, virtuous living, spiritual formation, and fre-
quent reception of the sacraments, then it will never
burst forth with the full power that it could have. But
let us take heart! Even this process of "fanning" is
made easier when we call upon the Holy Spirit to help
us. For St. Paul reminds us today that "the Spirit too
comes to the aid of our weakness."
