GIFTS OF STEWARDSHIP STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION/ REFLEXIONES DEL ESPIRITU DE SERVICIO

ENVELOPE CORRECTIONS

17th Sunday in Ordinary Time July 26 That we learn to put our trust in God

in everything we do. “We know that all things work for good for those who love God,

who are called according to his purpose.” - Romans 8:28

Do you really trust God? Do you really believe that God will pro-vide all that you need? Stewardship faith is a challenge for every-

one at times. Putting our trust in God, in everything we do, in good times and in bad, means that God’s plan for our lives may be quite different than what we planned. When one door closes, an-

other one opens. Trust in God, His plan is always better.

17° domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 26 de julio

"Sabemos que todas las cosas funcionan para bien para los que aman a Dios, a quienes se llama de acuerdo

con su propósito". - Romanos 8:28

¿De verdad confías en Dios? ¿Realmente crees que Dios te pro-porcionará todo lo que necesitas? La fe es un desafío para todos a veces. Confiar en Dios, en todo lo que hacemos, en las buenas y en las malas, significa que el plan de Dios para nuestras vidas pue-de ser muy diferente de lo que planeamos. Cuando una puerta se cierra, otra se abre. Confía en Dios, su plan siempre es el mejor.

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all

things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You

sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Mi Jesús, Yo creo que tu están presentes en el

Santísimo Sacramento. Te amo sobre todas las cosas y deseo recibirte en mi alma. Como no

puedo en este momento recibirte sacramentalmente, entra al menos

espiritualmente en mi corazón. Te abrazo como si ya estuvieras allí y me uno completamente a ti.

Nunca permitas que me separe de ti. Amen
