Stewardship - A Way of Living

From this Sunday’s Readings

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive good or evil, ac-cording to what he has done in the body.” – 2 Cor 5:10 We are all accountable for the gifts God has given us – our time, our talent and our treasure. Each of us is ac-countable not only for our own life but for the lives of others as well. One day God will ask each of us what did we do with the gifts we were given. How will you re-spond?

WISDOM God’s Vision for Life

An Eight-Part Bible Study - Tuesday Nights at 7 pm beginning June 19

Scripture and the Tradition of the Catholic Church provide an abundance of wisdom, though it can often be challenging to apply it to our lives. In this study, Jeff Cavins and Thomas Smith examine biblical wisdom as it relates to daily life. Drawing on the wisdom literature of the Bible—Proverbs, Wisdom, Sirach, and Ecclesiastes—Wisdom will teach you how to actively seek out sound guidance and increase your sense of peace in navigating life. In everything from friend-ships to finances, from making decisions to attaining peace of mind, Scripture offers a vision for happiness and well-being. With this program, you will learn how to gather, gain, and grow in wisdom, and you will experience the joy it brings to your life. As Pope Francis reminds us, “Wisdom is seeing with God’s eyes.” Please plan to join Fr. Paul and Romaine for this series by ordering your Journal for the series which also provides online access to each night’s video if you are not able to attend a session!

THE MASTER STORYTELLER In today’s Gospel, Jesus is presented to us as the master storyteller. He loved to use parables as a tool for comparing one thing to something else. In most of his parables, Jesus revealed who God is by comparing God’s essence or actions with something familiar to his listeners. In the parable of the mustard seed, Jesus pro-claims a marvelous and irrefutable truth. His small band of disciples, as insignificant as they may have felt, would one day produce a mighty kingdom whose growth was initiated by God. The seeds of this king-dom were planted by God and it is God who will har-vest the fruit brought forth from those seeds. The ex-tent of the growth of God’s kingdom cannot be predict-ed. We must trust the work of the Master’s hand as we, the mustard plant, grow and grow. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The reign of God comes about because people commit to reversing their lives completely, to embrac-ing new vision, new values. Many popular television shows exploit an unattractive side of human nature by pitting contestants against one another, even to the point of performing dangerous stunts or devious schemes, to gain money or favor. At the liturgy, we counter that impulse by commit-ting ourselves to live generously. In response to Christ’s total gift, we offer bread and wine as the emblems of our lives, our hopes, our joys and sorrows. The bread and wine carried to the altar contain our lives, and by offering our lives to God, we prepare to receive the gift of God’s own life. We are to become what we receive: the body of Christ. On Sundays, this self-giving is often accompanied by a collection and procession of gifts for the poor and money for the upkeep of the parish. There are certainly other methods of collecting money, some perhaps more efficient. Yet the acts of giving from our abun-dance and attending to the needs of the poor open us up to participation in the changes the Reign of God requires. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Retirement Fund for Archdiocesan

Priests Parishes throughout the Archdio-cese of Los Angeles will be asked to give generously to support the Retirement Fund for Archdioce-san Priests. Currently, the fund provides for more than 100 priests who are retired. Over the next ten years, that number is expected to in-

crease significantly. With minimal compensation, and in many cases, no pension, these men often re-tire with nothing to fall back upon. Your contribu-tions can change that. The Priest Retirement Fund offers us a way to give back to our Catholic priests who have served us so faithfully. Your contribution will help archdiocesan priests live modestly and peacefully in retirement. Help us offer thanks for their years of devotion to God, and faithful service to our parish communities.

Envelopes are available at the end of the pews along the main aisle.

Father’s Day Novena Sunday, June 17th - Monday, June 25th

We invite you to include your father, grandfather, uncle, and other significant men in your life in our Father's Day Novena beginning Sunday, June 17th. Father’s Day envelopes are available in the vesti-bule of the church.

God of Love, hear our prayer. God of Holy People, of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; God of Zechariah, father of John, of Joseph, husband of Mary, bless our fathers. Bless them with the gift of your Spirit that they may be strengthened in faith and love. Be their companion along the pathway through life. Grant them patience and wisdom that their lives may show forth the love of Christ in all they do. We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN.

Happy Father’s Day!
