FEBRUARY 18, 2015
Dear Lord,
As we enter this Solemn and Holy Season, we pray that you would send your
Holy Spirit upon us that we might prepare ourselves for these coming 40 days
of Lent. Even though we may no longer wear sackcloth and ashes, we do seek
to humble ourselves so that we can understand the magnificence of Your Love
for us as You humbled Yourself and gave Your Life on the Cross that we might
receive the gift of Eternal Glory with You. AMEN.

From the Pastor’s Desk
Christian Stewardship
A recent study of 18-35 year olds by the United States Catholic Conference discovered that
approximately 350,000 men and 250,000 women have considered a religious vocation. One of the
most recent obstacles to a religious vocation is educational debt. A more pervasive obstacle is the
culture in which a vocation can be silenced by the culture which exhorts the young to “get a good job
and become financially secure”. We can be countercultural when we encourage a young person to
think about a religious vocation and when we pray for vocations.
Msgr. Charles H. Hagan

How can you teach children the importance
and the joy of giving? It is impossible to be
grateful and unhappy at the same time. As
we count our blessings we naturally find a
sense of peace and contentment. Children
learn that they are called to give back
something to God. They also learn that they
must let go of some of their own wants.
Stewardship teaches children the difference
between needs and wants. Children learn to
concentrate on their blessings rather than
on what they want. The idea of the
children’s envelopes is not to raise more
money but to teach children the joys of
giving and helping. Thus, it is more
important that children give a quarter from
their own bank than $5 from a parent’s
wallet.
Children’s envelopes also
encourage kids to share talent - a good
deed or a prayer they have written - or to
write down ways they have been good
stewards.
