As Christian stewards, we recognize that all we are and all we have come from God. Among His greatest gifts is His own Son, given to us in the Eucharist as true spiritual nourishment. In our Gospel, we hear the account of the multiplication of ... Read more

While the Trinity is beyond our full understanding, it reveals something essential for us as Christian stewards. The Trinity is a communion of Persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — who give themselves completely to one another in perfect love. This self-giving love is at the heart of the stewardship way of life. In our first reading, God reveals Himself to ... Read more

Today, we focus on the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Church and in our individual lives. In our first reading from Acts, we hear of the dramatic outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles. A strong driving wind filled the house, and tongues of fire came to rest on each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit ... Read more

It is recounted in both our first reading from Acts and our Gospel from Matthew. It must have been an extraordinary thing to witness. Yet the first reading makes clear that the apostles were not meant to remain there, simply gazing upward. “Men of Galilee, why are you standing ... Read more

In our first reading from Acts, we hear that the Samaritans had accepted the word of God, yet something was still missing. Peter and John came to them and prayed that they might receive the ...
