For Reflection this Sunday:
Take a moment to consider this week's Gospel Lesson
on the theme of "Keeping Focus"
The question of how one spends, saves, uses, and misuses money presents a source of discomfort for many. Some feel oppressed by debt, others feel guilty for having made poor investment choices, some feel proud for having earned money through hard work, others feel anxious that no matter how hard they work, they cannot earn enough to provide for their families. Some envy othersā financial status, some judge how others spend their money. The subject remains difficult. To what extent and in what ways might our faith community encourage faithful stewardship of oneās resources? The story of Lazarus reminds us that faithful living requires a focus on the needs of our neighbours. Jeremiahās prophetic act inspires us to invest in Godās hope. The letter to Timothy has us focus on cultivating love through acts of generosity. How might worship, learning, and serving this week enable the community to trust in the steadfastness of Godās love?
