Stewardship Reflection:

June 25, 2017 - 12th Sunday of Ordinary Times

“Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father.” MATTHEW 10:32

Do you share your Catholic faith with others? Do you defend your Catholic faith or do you remain silent when the situation arises? Do you pray in public

before meals? Pray for the strength and courage to be a joyful witness of our Catholic faith when the opportunity

presents itself. http://archstl.org/stewardship/page/bulletin-inserts

T he children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large

pile of apples. The nun made a note, and

posted on the apple tray: "Take only ONE.

God is watching. "Moving further along the

lunch line, at the other end of the

table was a large pile of

chocolate chip cookies. A child

had written a note, "Take all you

want. God is watching the apples.
