Stewardship Thoughts
Today’s Scripture passages from the First Book of
Kings and St. Mark’s Gospel describe two widows’
remarkable examples of self-sacrifice. In the Old Tes-
tament narrative, the prophet Elijah requests a poor
widow, in the midst of a drought, to make him food
from her insufficient supply of flour and oil. God
richly blesses her and her son for her act of simple
kindness and generosity. In St. Mark’s Gospel, Jesus
notices the poor widow who … from her poverty has
contributed all she had, her whole livelihood to the
Temple treasury. Jesus professes to His disciples that
her donation is noteworthy because she gives from
her need, not from her surplus wealth as others do. In
the Letter to the Hebrews, another form of sacrifice is
expressed: Christ’s ultimate sacrifice of Himself as
our High Priest. As Christian stewards, we should
strive to imitate these profound examples of sacrifi-
cial giving by acknowledging all gifts are God-given,
and in gratitude, by giving back to God generously
through the parish offertory, the Catholic Services
Appeal, and to those in need. A good rule of thumb is
to begin giving 4 percent of your pre-tax income to
the parish offertory and 1 percent to the Catholic Ser-
vices Appeal.
HAPPY
HALLOWEEN!
Bake Sale A special thank you to all that contributed to our bake sale last
weekend. All of our confirmation students will be able to at-
tend their Subiaco Retreat free of charge this year. Thank You
for your generosity, continued support and all of the delicious
baked goods that were donated for the sale. We were also able
to share that great gift with the needy in our community, by
donating the leftover desserts to the Pantry’s dinner last Mon-
day.
All of the students did a wonderful job baking, selling and do-
nating their time. Thank You All and God Bless!
