ANNUAL LENTEN COLLECTION
This weekend is designated for the 2017
Annual Lenten Collection. Special envelopes
are available for this collection which
supports the works of Catholic Relief
Services, the Church in Africa and the
Church in Latin America. Your generous
response is appreciated.
STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
Saint Paul gives us a wakeup call. As stewards of the
light of Christ, we are to reflect that light with the
help of the Holy Spirit. If Christs work has transformed
and illuminated our lives, there should be a change.
The light of Christs active presence should be at
work in us. And as the light shines within us, we take
on the properties of that light and we shine too. We
are used by God to shine the light of Christ in the
lives of others. A challenging Lenten reflection: Is the
light of Christ shining in our hearts? Is the light of
Christ reflecting out from us to others?
