Stewardship Scripture Reflection
|
|
Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you." (Luke 14:13-14)
We have a difficult time with the concept of giving without expecting something in return. Even when we give to charity we often want something in return – a raffle ticket, a dinner, a chance to play golf or our name in print. Yet, as Christian stewards, we need to remember that the true reward for our giving awaits us in heaven.

God’s will is that we should be in a perpetual crisis of dependence on Him. We defeat His will when we lay up treasures on earth. We cannot allow trusting in God to be our last resort – it must be our only resort.

The Year of Prayer is ending and the Year of Service is beginning. To commemorate this past year, the Stewardship Committee is collecting anecdotes from this past year at COKAS. Can you share a specific story, fact, feeling … how you grew closer to God, how God spoke to you? Perhaps your story happened as you participated in an event, prepared a presentation, attended a study or sat in Adoration.
To refresh your memory, here are some of the activities from this past year: Thursday Holy Hours, First Friday Adoration, the Parish Mission, Life Chain Rosary, Novenas, Stations of the Cross, March for Life, monthly prayer petitions, Bible studies, daily Eucharist. We had presentations on:
Prayer and Personality
,
the Rosary
,
the Mass
,
History of Music in the Church
, and
the Presence
.
Your reflection can be short, even one sentence. The Stewardship committee will compile these anecdotes as a commemoration of the Year of Prayer, and to offer as an encouragement to others. The anecdotes will be posted on the COKAS website, and your name will be kept anonymous, if requested.
