Remembering St Brendan's and St Ann's
in your will
Many people have given bequests over the
years to our parish collaborative and we are
grateful for their generosity. Gifts and bequests
are a line item in our parish budgets and as the
fiscal year comes to a close some have inquired
about the logistics of giving a large or small gift
as part of your estate planning. If you would
like more information about how this can be
done in loving memory of anyone in your life
please contact our finance manager Nancy Lafoe
or any member of our finance councils. May
the Lord continue to inspire us to be cheerful
givers.

Thanks to Parish Leadership, staff, musicians,
lectors, servers who made our annual Outdoor
Mass a true community builder. The cookout
hosted by the Knights of Columbus and parish
volunteers was a fine way to end the day. We
are already planning for this to happen again
next year but without the rain. May Saint Pope
John Paul II, who celebrated Mass on Boston
Common nearly 40 years ago in a torrential
downpour, pray for us!

Prudent Stewards— Dr. Scott Hahn
The steward in today's Gospel confronts the reali-
ty that he can't go on living the way he has been.
He is under judgment, must give account for
what he has done.
The exploiters of the poor in today's First Reading
are also about to be pulled down, thrust from
their stations (see Isaiah 22:19). Servants of mam-
mon or money, they're so in love with wealth that
they reduce the poor to objects, despise the new
moons and sabbaths - the observances and holy
days of God (see Leviticus 23:24; Exodus 20:8).
Their only hope is to follow the steward's path.
He is no model of repentance. But he makes a
prudent calculation - to use his last hours in
charge of his master's property to show mercy to
others, to relieve their debts.He is a child of this
world, driven by a purely selfish motive - to make
friends and be welcomed into the homes of his
master's debtors. Yet his prudence is commended
as an example to us, the children of light (see 1
Thessalonians 5:5; Ephesians 5:8). We too must
realize, as the steward does, that what we have is
not honestly ours, but what in truth belongs to
another, our Master.
All the mammon in the world could not have
paid the debt we owe our Master. So He paid it
for us, gave His life as a ransom for all, as we hear
in today's Epistle. God wants everyone to be
saved, even kings and princes, even the lovers of
money (see Luke 16:14). But we cannot serve two
Masters. By his grace, we should choose to be, as
we sing in today's Psalm - "servants of the Lord."
We serve Him by using what He has entrusted us
with to give alms, to lift the lowly from the dust
and dunghills of this world. By this we will gain
what is ours, be welcomed into eternal dwellings,
the many mansions of the Father's house (see
John 14:2).
