 _{THE FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
January 29, 2012}

 

STEWARDSHIP As Christ's disciples, we are called to recognize all of our gifts as God-given – our time, our talents, and our treasure and to use them accordingly, putting them at the service of the Lord. It is God whom we serve. We are called to live not for our own sake, but for the sake of the Gospel, being sure that through all we say and do, we help others see God.
