Entrance AntiphonO Lord, I trust

in your merciful love.My heart will rejoice

in your salvation.I will sing to the Lord

who has been bountiful with me. (Psalm 13 (12):6)

One of the lessons for the Christian

steward in today’s Gospel is that if we have a chance to help someone in

need, we should be generous.

A Stewardship Thought

Francis saw everything through the lens of relationship and treated all with great respect.

All in creation were ‘brother and sister’ to Francis. Francis experienced God as a Holy Relationship in the Trinity which he often called the ‘most high

Trinity and holy Unity.’
