STEWARDSHIP -
Moving Us Closer to God
|
|
We are changed by the people who come into our lives. In the first reading today, a woman was visited by the Prophet Elisha. On that visit, her life was changed for good. He promised her that she would have the child she so very much wanted, and she did. Her life was changed forever! In the Gospel, Jesus reminds us that
“whoever receives me, receives the one who sent me.”
When we are at Mass, we can receive Jesus in both the word and in Eucharist. When we do, we leave changed!
These scriptures reminded me of one of my favorite songs, “For Good”. The song is from the musical “Wicked”. In this version of the Land of Oz, Elphaba (before she becomes “the Wicked Witch of the West”) grows up with Glinda, the “Good Witch of the North”. Even though each of them were quite different, they realized they both were “changed for good” because they had the chance to know each other.
I believe that this is the story of all our lives. We are each changed in some way by the people we meet and live with.
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...
Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better
Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good
...
Being a positive influence in others’ lives is what we are called to be as Christian Stewards. This week, may God strengthen us in all our relationships,as we work to be a Change for Good!

Our prayers continue for those directly affected and on the front lines of COVID-19 and we also want to look ahead to brighter times. We hope that will include the
50th American Martyrs Parish Fair
as scheduled.
We'd love to celebrate our Fair's storied history at the 50th Annual American Martyrs Parish Fair this October. We are blessed to have so many parishioners who have attended many, many fairs over the past 49 years.
We want to hear from you!
Send your photos, stories, and description of memorabilia you may have from Parish Fairs past to
Fair50@AmericanMartyrs.org

Please include dates whenever possible.
We're also looking for someone (or a couple someones) who have a love for history and might be interested in helping curate and organize the photos, stories, memorabilia and more.
Thanks and see you at Fair 50!
