Stewardship: “Do you think I have come to give you peace on Earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.” LUKE 12:51. Living a stewardship lifestyle means stepping out of our comfort zone when needed. Many of us like to play it safe, not cause waves. In today’s world we are called to be informed and take a stance for life, marriage and religious liberty.

DIVINE MERCY MEDITATIONS Once I was summoned to the judgment seat of God. I stood alone before the Lord. Jesus appeared such as we know Him during His Passion. After a moment, His wounds disappeared except for five, those in His hands, His feet and His side. Suddenly I saw the complete condition of my soul as God sees it. I could clearly see all that is displeasing to God. I did not know that even the smallest transgressions will have to be accounted for. What a Moment! Who can describe it? To stand before the Thrice-holy God! (Diary of Sr. Faustina, 36) Jesus, I trust in you! Jezu, ufam Tobie!

Flowers in Mary’s Chapel are in memory of Jules and Colleen Girardet
