TIME, TALENT AND TREASURE
Part of the beauty of stewardship spirituality is its simplic-
ity and practicality. It can be summed up in the
brief phrase, “All I have is a gift from God and I
must make a grateful return to Him for all He has
given me.” In making this return, we consider three
areas that cover the primary aspects of daily life -
Time, Talent, and Treasure.
So simple that even our youngest parishioners
can grasp the concept. But simple does not necessarily mean
easy. And simple does not mean shallow.
Today’s readings invite us to look into the truth of what a
stewardship way of life is all about. These readings also reveal
how this spirituality and way of life require the commitment of
our whole being to God. It is anything but easy or shallow. But
it is indeed the way to lasting intimacy with God and the path
to eternal salvation. It points us to seek after higher things —
the wisdom of God and Heaven itself.
Our First Reading speaks of the value of wisdom. “I
prayed, and prudence was given me; I pleaded, and the spirit
of wisdom came to me.” We are told that God’s wisdom is
more precious than any earthly riches or power and that when
we possess this gift of wisdom — of seeing things and life as
God sees them — we possess “all good things” and “countless
riches.”
Our Second Reading, from the Letter to the Hebrews,
shows us a way to obtain such wisdom — it is available to us
right in the Scriptures. “Indeed the word of God is living and
effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even
between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern
reflections and thoughts of the heart.”
The Scriptures are the living Word of God. Every time we
approach them in a spirit of prayer, they will speak
to us. A passage that we ponder one week can take
on entirely new meaning for us in another week. It
is God’s living message and it has the power to
speak to each of us personally based on our needs
at a given moment. It is so simple! God’s wisdom
is right there for us. All we need to do is commit
some daily Time to seeking it.
The Gospel Reading from Mark is one of the better known
passages in the Gospel — the story of the rich young man who
went away sad after rejecting Jesus’ wisdom on how to obtain
eternal salvation. This passage reminds us that while a stew-
ardship way of life may be simple to understand, it is not easy
to live out. In response to the man’s question on what he must
do to obtain salvation, Jesus tells him to keep the command-
ments. The man replies that he has always done this much. But
he suspects (rightly) that there is more to being a disciple of
Jesus than just following the external rules. Jesus lovingly con-
firms this, telling him, “Go, sell what you have, and give to the
poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow
me.”
We are called to be so much more than rule-followers; we
are called to be Christ followers. A stewardship way of life
asks us to look at three simple, practical areas — Time, Talent,
and Treasure. But it asks us to commit to them from the depths
of our being. Only then can we truly be free to follow Christ.
Only then do we obtain the countless riches of God’s wisdom
and a path to eternal life. www.catholicsteward.com/BLOG/
REMEMBERANCE OF OUR LOVED ONES
Prayers express hope that God will free a person
who has died from any burden of sin and
prepare a place for him or her in heaven.
Prayers help bridge whatever barriers
might keep those whom we love from
fully enjoying the presence of a loving
and life-giving God.
2 Maccabees, 12:26 and 12:32. "Turning to supplica-
tion, they prayed that the sinful deed might be fully blot-
ted out... Thus made atonement for the dead that they
might be free from sin."
November is a privileged month that the church all
over the world unites in “Peaceful Rest Prayers” for our
loved ones who have passed on. If you wish to have your
loved one’s name written in the book of Remembrance,
which will be kept on a special altar for daily prayers and
Masses throughout November, please fill out an All
Souls Offertory envelope and drop it in the collection
basket before November 1st or bring it to the parish of-
fice.
May the souls of the dead rest in peace.
