EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP -
RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR
ORDINARY MOMENTS
Practicing Graciousness in
the Desert
Looking back over my journey of
parenthood, I know there were days
when I traveled the extra mile for my
children. I made their toast the way
they like it, let them play in the park an
extra ten minutes, or let them go to the
movies with their friends and I finished
up the chores on my own. And then, it
happened: the attitude. The request for
the smallest thing from one of them is
met with disdain or bewilderment.
Sometimes you can be made breathless
with the ingratitude of another person
who takes so much and with so little
shame, only to scoff at the idea that
they, too, give even the smallest
amount.
But if we’re being honest with
ourselves, we will admit that we do the
exact same thing to God. Haven’t we
all been the Israelites in the desert at
one point or another? God has parted
our Red Sea in some way. He’s led us
out of some great trial, given us some
great blessings. But then we run into a
little resistance somewhere along the
way and we throw up our hands. How
could you do this to us, Lord? How
could you ask this of us? No, I can’t go
any further. No, I won’t do any more.
Persisting in the blindness to the many
ways God continues to protect us is
nothing short of a temper tantrum. It
robs our Everyday Stewardship of its
graciousness, of our ability to accept
with joy the trials of life because we are
also constantly aware of its blessings.—

Pro-Life Tidings
Even the weakest and most
vulnerable, the sick, the old, the
unborn and the poor, are master-
pieces of God’s creation, made in
his own image, destined to live
forever, and deserving of the
utmost reverence and respect.
~Pope Francis~

From the Desk of Fr. Peter
Peace to you!
Over the past couple of weekends we have revisited the
importance of prayer in our lives and reflected upon a few of
the ways that giving and sharing what we have enriches our
lives in amazing ways. Last weekend Jesus taught the people
about God and then fed the multitude with a few loaves and a
couple of fish as a sign of God’s generous providence and care
toward the people he created and dearly loves.
This weekend we pick up the story after the multitude has
been taught and fed. Some of the people go in search of Jesus
because they want more bread and fish. Jesus notes that
though they had seen the sign, it didn’t lead them to faith in
him. Their only interest was the tangible thing. Jesus
instructs them to have faith in what he has taught them and put
those teachings to use in their lives. In response to Jesus’
instructions, they ask for another sign—more bread. Since all
they can think of is bread, Jesus uses bread as an allegory to
teach them a higher principle: “I am the bread of life;
whoever comes to me will never hunger, and who believes in
me will never thirst.” You wonder if they “got it” after that.
In the past, I’ve encountered some things that remind me of
what is taking place in the Gospel story. One event was on a
fishing trip when our boat came in to the dock and we had
people filet our tuna for us. The couple who were cutting the
fish found out that I was a priest and they asked me to do them
a favor: send all the people to go fishing on Sunday so that
they could make more money. I smiled at their faith in my
ability to provide them a means to more money, but was
saddened at their lack of understanding that we NEED God’s
word, its light and power, we need God more than money.
Another couple I spoke to was concerned about the economy
and their retirement. They decided to stop going to Mass on
Sunday and keep their little restaurant open 7 days a week. I
noted that they weren’t open in the morning when Mass takes
place but they insisted that they needed to prepare for the
day’s work. Over a period of time I continued to stop in and
see them and I noticed their fatigue and that family affairs
were becoming more burdensome and the business profit
margin was slowly declining like their own health. I
wondered if they ever “got it” .
Jesus tells us not to work for what perishes—things of the
world-- but for what endures for eternal life. Jesus also said
that no one lives on bread alone but on every word that
proceeds from the mouth of God.
God established Sunday as a day of rest, nourishment and trust
in his loving providence. On Sunday, we come to give thanks
for our blessings, ask for help with our needs and we are
inspired with faith because we know he keeps his promises to
not only provide, but also to bless us with joy and peace as
well! Got it? Blessings to you!+++ Fr. Peter
