Scripture for the week of September 5, 2010
Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time
(Being Disciples)

Reading I: Wisdom 9:13–18b (The Lord’s Intentions)
Reading II: Philemon 1:9–10, 12–17 (Receive Him as a Brother)
Gospel: Luke 14:25–33 (Renouncing Possessions)

Theme: Commitment is required to follow Jesus.

Key Passage: In the same way, anyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.

Question for Adults: Do I want more than I need? Are there things I could do with-out that could help me be closer to Jesus?

Question for Children: Today's Gospel is demanding. How do you as a modern man or woman "denounce your possessions?" What does this mean for you?

Living a Stewardship Way of Life involves certain expectations, for example

  • For the most part, that parents and students attend Mass as a family in their parish Church on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation.
  • Families and students try to avail themselves of the many opportunities to give of their time and talent to the parish and to the school.
  • In addition to Stewardship of Time and Talent, families should use their Church envelopes on a somewhat regular basis to exercise Stewardship of Treasure. The non-use of envelopes indicates inactivity in the parish. We recommend that financial giving to the parish be according to the St. Paul Three-Way Giving Program. (moving closer to the biblical tithe of 5% for parish, 2% for education ministries and 1% for Annual Diocesan Appeal.)
