Noticios Re"Mark"ados (anuncios español) Together in Faith: “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” Matthew 25:40 Jesus’ magnificent vision of the last judgment reminds us that Christ is present in everyone. This is easy to remember in the abstract but not so much in the particular. Rather than turn away from “the least,” let’s remember that what we do to them, we do to Christ.

Noticias Re"Mark"adas (anuncios espanol) Together in Faith: “Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” Matthew 25:13 This statement of Jesus has many applications. For a steward, it means to be constantly seeking ways to serve, to care, to support, to encourage, to give, to love.

Noticias Re"Mark"adas (anuncios espanol) Together in Faith: “Do whatever the (Pharisees) teach you and follow it; but do not do as they do, for they do not practice what they teach.” Matthew 23:2-3 As a person who consistently practiced what he preached, even to the very end of his life, Jesus was deeply offended by the hypocrisy he observed. And yet, we all know how hard it is to be constantly faithful to the high calling we have received. As good stewards, we strive to do our best; when we slip, we seek forgiveness and return to the good way as strongly as we can.
