Prayer to St Michael the Archangel

St Michael the Archangel

defend us in battle.

Be our protection against

the wickedness and snares

of the devil.

May God rebuke him, we

humbly pray; and do Thou,

O Heavenly Prince of Hosts,

by the Power of God, cast

into hell satan, and all the

evil spirits, who prowl

about the earth seeking the

ruin of souls. Amen Pope Leo XIII

First Friday Holy Hour

Our next Holy Hour is scheduled for

Friday, October 2nd from 8 - 9 a.m.

Face masks (available upon request)

and social distancing continue to be

required.

As Christian stewards we are called to a high and holy standard — living as Christ’s dis-

ciples every day and with every person the Lord places in our path. But we can move

towards this goal in “baby steps.”

Jesus demonstrates this comforting truth through the parable He tells in today’s Gospel

from Matthew. It is the story of two sons whose father instructs them to go out and

work in his vineyard that day. While the second son agrees to his father’s request, he

does not follow through — he fails to obey the father’s will. The first son tells his father,

“no.” At least he is honest! And in the end, he reconsiders and obeys his father.

The first son’s honest, less-than-perfect response, is consoling to us Christian stewards.

Haven’t we all felt this way at times when God’s will for us seems to be just too hard?

We can be honest with God at these times. He knows our thoughts already, after all. But

when we stayed engaged in a real relationship with Him, even if it’s just to say, “I don’t

think I can, Lord,” He will supply us with just the grace we need to change our minds and do what He is asking us to

do.

We can even take a step backward from time to time because our Father is merciful and kind. What matters is that

we keep baby stepping along, assured of the grace we need to more closely imitate the actions and attitudes of

Christ. This is the beauty of the stewardship way of life.

Today let us look at our hands, so often empty of love, and let us try to think of some free gift that we can give without expecting anything in return,. That

will please the Lord. And let us ask him: “Lord let me rediscover the joy of giving” -EPIPHANY SUNDAY, JANUARY 6, 2018
