EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP -

RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR

ORDINARY MOMENTS

The Choice of Stewardship

What does it mean to be a good steward?

Does it mean to be an active parishioner,

or something more? Are we better

stewards because we give more in terms

of our money and time to our parish, or

are we called to do even more than that?

The truth is that stewardship is a way of

life. We are not simply called to be

active parishioners, but instead be active

disciples all the time. In fact, what we

learn to do in our parish should serve as

preparation for the mission field of the

world. What have we really done if we

only act like disciples of Jesus Christ

while we are assembled with others who

claim to be the same?

The choice before us is to give of

ourselves in all aspects of our day and

life. The call of Jesus will come in our

everyday lives with our co-workers,

family, and friends more often than it

will within our parish community. First,

if we can’t become good stewards when

we are among those who proclaim Jesus

as Lord, how will we be able to do so

when we are with those who are

non-believers? Second, when our

muscles of gratitude, generosity, and

graciousness are strengthened within our

parish community, we are more able to

meet the challenges of this world.

However, we do not become good

stewards by accident. We must always

choose to live this way. What will you

choose?

From the Desk of Fr. Peter

May the peace of Christ reign in your hearts!

From the readings this weekend, I am reminded of the true

sovereignty of Jesus and that in order for one to experience

Jesus’ saving power, one must approach him in humble,

sincere faith.

The message in the first reading from Isaiah foretells that God

will replace someone of royalty because he is corrupt and

guilty of neglecting his responsibility to provide care for the

people of the kingdom. His replacement will be a servant of

God and like a father to the people caring for them out of love.

God will sustain him and establish his rule firmly because he

strives to follow God’s law and fulfill justice.

St. Paul praises the wonderful, mysterious wisdom of God and

expresses his recognition that God, as creator of all, has

sovereign dominion over all things, but more importantly is

moved by love.

Jesus asks the disciples “who do people say that the Son of

Man is?” Peter makes his profession of faith in Jesus as Son of

God. Jesus recognizes that Peter’s faith is a gift from God and

then Jesus establishes Peter’s faith as the foundation of the

Church and extends to him the power to govern the Church

with the promise that God will always sustain the Church.

As Catholics, this passage is a great comfort to us because we

know that God, the source of all power and authority, has

pledged that he will establish, protect, guide and sustain the

Church forever. We also hold firm faith that Jesus’ promise of

the Holy Spirit’s presence in the Church is a reality and that

the bishops and the Pope are sustained and guided by God’s

spirit in the duty of teaching and governing the Church.

On a more personal note, we are invited, like Peter, to have an

intimate relationship with Jesus: to love and experience Jesus’

love for us. Think about the powers and authorities that were

part of the ancient world. Fear, sickness, political oppression

with riots, violence and war, widespread poverty, pagan

worship of idols and false gods topped off with demonic

possession were common tensions that people had to live with.

Jesus came as a healer, a teacher of peace and justice and he

showed God’s genuine love for the people. Many of us need

to experience salvation on a daily basis from all the oppressive

forces that are in our lives. Like Peter, we must come in

sincere faith and ask Jesus for help. We experience

deliverance in different ways: through prayer, community

fellowship, Word and the sacraments mainly. But it is only

through faith that we are able see and experience God’s

presence in action around us and through us. God bless you

all!+++ Fr Peter Sun. 10:30am
