To strengthen him for the
journey, God provides Elijah with cake and water, reminiscent of his ancestors’
Pasch (1), Thus he experiences the goodness of the Lord (Ps). Jesus, the bread
of life (3), strengthens us for our journey, following his way of love (2).
STEWARDSHIP
The gifts of God that the
angel brought to Elijah — food, water, rest, and encouragement
— were given, not for his
own good alone, but to strengthen him for service. How am I using my gifts to
serve others?
PLEASE
PRAY FOR ALL OF OUR PARISHIONERS
For those who are ill, especially James Esposito,
Beverly Turok, Peter Yazgier, Josephine Sarnoski,
Keith Bloomer, Terri Mahoney,
Irene Corrigan.
That their suffering and trials may become sources of grace for
themselves and others.

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN– HOW DOES
IT SPEAK TO US TODAY?
The Gospel of
John emerges as the most unique Gospel in the New Testament. How is this so?
Why does Jesus dialogue so much more and share so deeply with others,
especially women? This presentation will address such questions and offer
insights into the relevance of this Gospel for today.

Living out the
Gospel value of stewardship as a disciple means sharing your time, talent, and
treasure.
Because everything you have to share
is from God, and it is all meant for sharing.
Being a disciple means sharing without counting the cost. Being a disciple means sharing even when we
least feel like it, when we least can afford to do it, and when the person in
need of our gift is the last person we wish to serve
