Risen Christ Knights of Columbus Supporting Charity, Unity, Fraternity & Patriotism A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time Weekend of October 3/4, 2020 This weekend’s Gospel reading poses some challenging stewardship questions, particularly at a time when so many people are becoming disengaged from their faith communities. When Christ returns, will we be found working diligently in the Lord’s “vineyard;” converting our own hearts into a rich harvest of love and compassion? Calling those outside our vineyard to enter into the joy of the Lord? Or will we just be living off of what the Lord has given us, but not sharing God’s love with others? Jesus’ parable suggests that if we are not good stewards of the gifts we’ve been given then the gifts will be taken away, and we will be called to give an account for our failures. We have all we need for a bountiful harvest, even during these disquieting times. What will our Lord find when He returns and asks us to give an account?

READINGS FOR THE TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME October 11, 2020 Isaiah 25:6-10A Philippians 4:12-14, 19-20 ................ Matthew 22:1-14 PRACTICE OF FAITH In Scripture, images of abundance and feasting point to the gift of God’s grace. Today’s Gospel of the parable of the wedding feast offers images of the grace made present to us through the sacraments. In the abundant feast of the Eucharist, God provides food that strengthens life in us. In Baptism, God provides the garment as well, clothing us in holiness and enlivening the Holy Spirit’s power in us so that we might accept the invitation to the feast. *Make one of your meals this week a special occasion by inviting family members, friends, coworkers, or neighbors to join you as you give thanks for God’s abundant grace. *In her prayer on the grace of the Eucharist, St. Catherine of Siena reflected on how God’s love gave us not only food but the whole divine essence. Reflect on how you allow the Eucharist to affect you. *Spend time in prayer savoring the abundance of God’s grace already given to you in the sacraments, a foretaste of the eternal banquet. ” ~At Home With the Word 2020 SEEKING PEOPLE WHO LOVE TO DECORATE!
