STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION/ REFLEXIONES DEL ESPIRITU DE SERVICIO

3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time: January 26 That we may faithfully follow Jesus, wherever

and whenever He calls. “He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their

father and followed Him.” (Matthew 4:22) Just as Jesus called the first apostles, He calls each of us to follow Him, too. Not everyone is called to leave their business or family

behind, but we are expected to put God first in everything. Everything from our time in daily prayer, our talent in

participating in one of our parish ministries, and our treasure to support the financial needs of our parish mission.

3er domingo del Tiempo Ordinario: 26 de Enero

Para que podamos seguir fielmente a Jesús, donde sea y cuando sea que El nos llame.

“Los llamo e inmediatamente dejaron su bote y a su padre y lo siguieron.” (Mateo 4:22)

Así como Jesús llamo a los primeros apóstoles, también nos llama a cada uno de nosotros a seguirlo. No todos están llamados a dejar

atrás su negocio o familia, pero se espera que pongamos a Dios primero en todo. Todo, desde nuestro tiempo en la oración diaria,

nuestro talento para participar en uno de nuestros ministerios parroquiales y nuestro tesoro para apoyar las necesidades

financieras de nuestra misión parroquial.
