Stewardship Scripture Reflection
|
|
Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
“…proclaim the word, be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient...” (2 Timothy 4:2)
It is not always convenient to be a good steward, especially when all the temptations of our busy and materialistic world get in the way. Now add our own pride and ego into the equation and living a stewardship lifestyle may be downright uncomfortable! Remember, God didn’t call us to be comfortable. He called us to be faithful.

Are you curious when you hear Father Michael mention the Christian author Scott Hahn in his homilies, or do you want to know more about Bishop Robert Barron and his DVDs and books?
Cokas has a library!
The Father Philip Ryan Parish Library on the second floor of the Parish Life Center is well stocked with books and DVDs…and you can access the collection and explore what we have online. Simply go to the COKAS web site and under the “Questions” dropdown menu, go to “Online Library,” and then click on the URL.
The Ryan Parish Library is open on Sundays during PSR, but is always available for individual use by getting a key from the parish secretary during business hours (9:00-2:00.) Self check-out is available, and books can be returned to the box outside the Parish Office.
So feed your soul and satisfy your curiosity - visit the Ryan Library.
