Stewardship Reflection “The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are chil-dren of God, and if children then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ…” Romans 8:16-17 If we are heirs to the kingdom of God, shouldn’t we work to build up His kingdom? Shouldn’t we be good stewards of our inheritance, using our time, talent and treasure to care for the Church that God has left to us? Our Church is a treasured heir-loom from God. Do we treat it that way?

DAILY PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

Sacred Heart of Jesus today I wish to live in You, In Your grace, in which I desire at all costs to per-severe. Keep me from sin and strengthen my will by helping me to keep watch over my senses, my imagination, and my heart. Help me to correct my faults which are the source of sin. I beg You to do this, O Jesus, through Mary, Your Immaculate

Mother. Amen
