CHRISTIAN HOSPITALITY

Day in and day out, we are required to make judgment calls informed by tough, durable, serviceable Christian love. We do what we can do, and God takes notice. God is in charge of rewards, and a glass of water will do when that is what we have to offer with a glad and open heart.

Paul gives us a clear theology for the missionary work we do whenever anybody is close at hand. He reminds us that our work, our ministry, is carried on in concert with Christ. We have been baptized into his death and life. In any given moment both life and death are there, a kind of play of shadow and light. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell where shadow leaves off and light begins. God will take care of that, too.

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time- Stewardship

Both the first reading and the Gospel today speak of

hospitality and welcome. Our ministers of hospitality

are a most visible example of using one’s time and

talents to welcome the people of God. But the Gospel

assures us that all who give even just “a cup of cold water” to one

of His lowliest will be rewarded.

Vision: To make God, Father, Son & Holy Spirit—known, loved and

served.

Mission: St. Bartholomew is committed to forming dynamic Catholic

Christian disciples through prayer, the Word, Sacraments and

Evangelization.
