 The Return of the Prodigal Son. Bartolomé Esteban Murillo [Public domain] Today's Readings: Joshua 5:9-12 ; Psalm 32; 2 Corinthians 5:16-21; Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32
Noticias Re"Mark"ados (Anuncios en español) Together in Faith: Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.” Luke 15:11 We immediately recognize this introduction to the parable of the prodigal son. It represents such an ordinary but complex situation… how to balance competing interests and values. Stewards always strive for balance, measuring how best to care for all the persons and situations they encounter.

Noticias Re"Mark"ados (Anuncios en español) Together in Faith: Some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” Luke 13:21 We might want to remember what a brave man Jesus was. Stewards strive for bravery too, not to the extent of risking their lives, but sometimes in embracing people and ministries that may be out of the mainstream.

 Christ in the Wilderness by Ivan Kramskoi [Public domain] Today's Readings: Deuteronomy 26:1-11; Psalm 91:1-2, 9-16; Romans 10:8b-13; Luke 4:1-13
Noticias Re"Mark"ados (Anuncios en español) Together in Faith: Jesus answered the devil, “It is written, ‘One does not live by bread alone.’” Luke 4:4 Jesus’ compassion for the poor and oppressed of his time is well documented in the Gospels. It’s true, one doesn’t live by bread alone, but if you’re hungry, bread tastes pretty good! Lent is a perfect time for us to share our ‘bread’ with those who are hungry.
