Stewardship: Using God’s Gifts to do God’s Work
Dear Lord God,
You alone are the source of every good gift
and the mystery of each human life.
We thank you for creation
and for your tender, faithful love.
Fill our minds with the Gospel of your son Jesus
and fill our hearts with his compassion.
Send your Spirit to grant us wisdom,
that our gratitude may bind us together
into a community of faith and a caring people.
Give us the courage to express our gratitude first
as we discern how to be good stewards
of the gifts entrusted to us,
that we may do the work for your Kingdom.
In your son’s name we pray,
Amen!
The St. Therese Stewardship Corner shares weekly stories and reflections on how our parishioners are sharing their gifts. -

he curious thing about Luke’s account of Pentecost is that it gave rise to a speaking spiritual phenomenon where the believer is speaking something that can’t be understood. But Luke is talking about the Spirit enabling people to understand across the language divide. There are people of all nations praising God in their own tongues, and the witnesses hear them in their own tongues.Read More

The question of authority still sits with us today. The Roman Catholic Church long ago decided to let it reside with the Bishop of Rome in consultation with his brother bishops. (Yes, those masculine pronouns are issues very much worthy of continued discussion.) The pastor of the Church of Western Washington is our Archbishop, Paul Etienne. Which brings us to the Annual Catholic Appeal.Read More

The Gentiles were delighted when they heard this and glorified the word of the Lord. The Jews, however, incited the women of prominence who were worshipers and the leading men of the city, stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their territory. So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them, and went to Iconium. The disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.Read More
