“Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Je- sus for you” - 1 THESSALONIANS 5:16 -18 This scripture reading sums up Stewardship. “Rejoice always” means place your trust in God; He will pro- vide all that you need. “Pray constantly” means prayer should be a running conversation with God throughout the whole day, every day. “Give thanks in all circumstances” means even in bad situations, thank God. Suffering a little bit helps build empathy for others in similar situations. Mass Schedule Father Charles D. Pardee, Pastor Father Simeon A. Etonu, Assoc.
