But it is only with the intuition of faith that one can experience these good things as gifts of God. Through faith they become symbols or sacraments of the personal exchange of love—God’s self-giving to us, and our grateful response in word and deed.

THOMAS D’ARCY MCGEE
OCTOBER 8TH & 9TH
Thomas D’Arcy McGee Catholic School are holding their Annual Bake Sale in the parish hall after the 5pm Mass and all the morning Masses THIS WEEKEND. All proceeds go towards student programs and activities.
At the heart of stewardship is gratitude. The Greek philosopher Epicurus wrote, “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” There is certainly stewardship wisdom in that quote. It follows upon the wisdom that is displayed in today’s readings. In the Gospel from Luke, for example, Jesus cures 10 lepers. They have been given something — health – which they once only hoped for. Yet only one of them, a Samaritan as a matter of fact, returns to the Lord to thank Him. Jesus says “Where are
the other nine?” Stewardship expects us to focus on our gifts, on our many blessings, not on what we may not have, or what we may have been denied. Not only do we need to concentrate on those gifts, but we need to take the time to thank God and others who may have provided us those gifts. When was the last time you actually thanked your parents for the gift of life? When did you last thank your spouse for all that he or she may have done for you? When did you last thank God in prayer? The Catechism explains five basic forms of prayer: adoration, petition, intercession, thanksgiving, and praise. In our practice of stewardship our heartfelt gratitude should flow freely into prayers of thanksgiving.
DIVINE LOVE & HUMAN GRATITUDE
In the language of later theology, the Samaritan’s faith enabled him to see with sacramental vision. Without the vision of faith, one can experience countless good things—the wonders of the universe through the eyes of science; the ability to hear, to see, to speak, to feel; a return to health from an illness. But it is only with the intuition of faith that one can experience these good things as gifts of God. Through faith they become symbols or sacraments of the personal exchange of love—God’s self-giving to us, and our grateful response in word and deed. Because the Samaritan entered into that personal exchange of divine love and human gratitude, Jesus said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.”
