STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS
“Get up and eat, else the journey will be too long for you!” 1 KINGS 19:7
Jesus knows that our stewardship journey will be difficult; we are not designed to do it on our own. Fortunately, Jesus gave us the greatest gift of all – the gift of the Eucharist; His own body and blood. When we join our sacrifices with the sacrifice of the Mass, we find the strength and courage to be His joyful disciples.
