LIVING AS STEWARDS “Jesus said to the crowd, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life….” We can hardly blame the crowd for their shock at this statement — eating the Flesh and drinking the Blood of our Lord should cause us a bit of a shock. Yet how easy it is to show up at Mass Sunday after Sunday, receiving the Eucharist as simply part of a weekly routine. If we really spent time contemplating the gift our Lord is offering us in this sacrament, we would be awestruck at the love and power in this gift. Through it, our Lord is giving us the very best He has to give — Himself. Not even the greatest theological scholar or the holiest of saints can fully understand this mystery.
Thankfully we don’t need to be a saint or a scholar to receive this gift. But we should do our best to receive the Eucharist with gratitude. And we can look to today’s readings to glean two fundamental principles for becoming better Christian stewards.
The Eucharist is the foundation for a stewardship way of life. Through His gift of the Eucharist, God fills us with His love and strength. This love and strength empower us to live as generous stewards — to be faithful to the ministries we serve in, joyful in material giving, and offer our very best to our families and secular work.
The Eucharist is the ultimate inspiration for a stewardship way of life. When we contemplate this gift of God, we will want to make a joyful return to Him. Mass will become anything but routine and we will live each day as His passionate disciples.

One of my earliest memories as a child is the golden anniversary celebration of my grandparents. In honor of this milestone of 50 years of marriage, we had a family reunion of the “extended family”. People from all over the country came to honor my grandparents. There were familiar people attending that I didn’t even know I was related to. The celebration was so large that the only place in town big enough to hold everyone was the parish school gym. The space was decorated in white and gold in honor of the celebration. There were pictures and mementos on a table that reflected my grandparent’s journey of forming and raising a family together and the various jobs my grandfather performed to support their family. It was the first time I had the luxury of drinking multiple bottles of “pop”; and all the desserts I wanted. It was a treat to be able to play with cousins that I hadn’t seen for a significant span of my short life. As I moved about in that experience of people sharing stories and being happy to see each other again, my subconscious self was absorbed in the gift of belonging. I didn’t analyze it at the time, but I was immersed in tangible experiences of love, of family, of being a part of something bigger than myself.
Each week when we gather for the celebration of mass, we come to honor the creator of the universe into whose extended family we have been adopted through baptism. We find a space adorned with flowers and colors to reflect the season or feast being celebrated. Sometimes we experience the joy of having people return after spending time away. We share stories of our own as well as stories of our heavenly Father’s love for us from the dawn of creation. Images throughout the church demonstrate key events in the redemptive story in which God intervened in our human existence. As we move through the sacrifice of the mass, we are joined with the heavenly hosts in celebrating the feast of the Lamb of God, the Bread of Life; food that in spiritual realities, far surpasses the delights of any food I could ever imagine from my earliest years to now. We find God’s most palpable avenue of grace in the Eucharist. Common ingredients of wheat and wine are transformed into the life giving, glorified body and blood of Christ. Let us enter the celebration immersed in a tangible experience of love, of family, of being a part of something bigger than ourselves. Peace in Christ, Phil Arkfeld

Reflexión de la Corresponsabilidad
"Jesu s dijo a la multitud:" El que come mi
carne y bebe mi sangre tiene vida
eterna ... ". Difí cilmente podemos culpar a
la multitud por su conmocio n ante esta
afirmacio n: comer la Carne y beber la
Sangre de nuestro Sen or deberí a
causarnos un poco de un shock. Sin
embargo, cua n fa cil es presentarse en la
misa de domingo a domingo, recibiendo
la Eucaristí a simplemente como parte de
una rutina semanal.
Si realmente dedicamos tiempo a
contemplar el regalo que nuestro Sen or
nos ofrece en este sacramento, nos
asombrara el amor y el poder de este
regalo. A trave s de e l, nuestro Sen or nos
esta dando lo mejor que tiene para darse:
a sí mismo. Ni siquiera el mejor alumno
teolo gico o el ma s santo de los santos
puede entender completamente este
misterio.
Afortunadamente no necesitamos ser un
santo o un alumno para recibir este
regalo. Pero debemos hacer nuestro
mejor esfuerzo para recibir la Eucaristí a
con gratitud. Y podemos ver las lecturas
de hoy para recoger dos principios
fundamentales para ser mejores
mayordomos cristianos.
La Eucaristí a es la base de una forma de
vida de corresponsabilidad. A trave s de
Su don de la Eucaristí a, Dios nos llena
con Su amor y fortaleza. Este amor y
fortaleza nos empoderan para vivir como
mayordomos generosos: para ser fieles a
los ministerios en los que servimos,
alegres en las donaciones materiales, y
ofrecer lo mejor a nuestras familias y al
trabajo secular.
La Eucaristí a es la ma xima inspiracio n
para una forma de vida de
corresponsabilidad. Cuando
contemplemos este regalo de Dios,
querremos hacer un regreso gozoso a e l.
La misa se convertira en cualquier cosa
menos rutinaria y viviremos cada dí a
como Sus discí pulos apasionados.

la corresponsabilidad visite http://

time with their candidate during the week, or go to coffee or lunch together, they also introduce their candidate to their friends at church or attend parish activities together.

Uno de mis primeros recuerdos de nin o es la celebracio n de aniversario de oro de mis abuelos. En honor a este evento de 50 an os de matrimonio, tuvimos una reunio n familiar de la "familia extendida". Gente de todo el paí s vino a honrar a mis abuelos. Habí a familiares que asistieron con las que ni siquiera sabí a que estaba relacionado. La celebracio n fue tan grande que el u nico lugar de la ciudad lo suficientemente grande para contener a todos fue el gimnasio de la escuela parroquial. El espacio estaba decorado en blanco y oro en honor a la celebracio n. Habí a fotos y recuerdos en una mesa que reflejaban el viaje de mis abuelos de su jornada de formar una familia juntos y los diversos trabajos que mi abuelo realizo para apoyar a su familia. Era la primera vez que tení a el lujo de beber varias botellas de "refresco"; y todos los postres que querí a. Fue un placer poder jugar con primos que no habí a visto durante un lapso significativo de mi corta vida. Mientras me moví a en esa experiencia de personas que comparten historias y se sienten felices de volver a verse, mi subconsciente estaba absorto en el don de la pertenencia. No lo analice en ese momento, pero estaba inmerso en experiencias tangibles de amor, de familia, de ser parte de algo ma s grande que yo.
Cada semana, cuando nos reunimos para la celebracio n de la misa, llegamos a honrar al creador del universo en cuya extensa familia hemos sido adoptados mediante el bautismo. Encontramos un espacio adornado con flores y colores para reflejar la temporada o fiesta que se celebra. A veces experimentamos la alegrí a de que las personas regresen despue s de pasar el tiempo lejos. Compartimos nuestras propias historias, así como historias del amor de nuestro Padre celestial por nosotros desde el comienzo de la creacio n. Las ima genes en toda la iglesia demuestran los acontecimientos clave en la historia redentora en la que Dios intervino en nuestra existencia humana. A medida que avanzamos en el sacrificio de la misa, nos unimos a las hostias celestiales para celebrar la fiesta del Cordero de Dios, el Pan de Vida; comida que, en las realidades espirituales, supera con creces las delicias de cualquier alimento que pueda imaginar desde mis primeros an os hasta ahora. Encontramos la avenida de gracia ma s palpable de Dios en la Eucaristí a. Los ingredientes comunes del trigo y el vino se transforman en el cuerpo y la sangre glorificados de la vida de Cristo. Pasemos a la celebracio n inmersos en una experiencia tangible de amor, de familia, de ser parte de algo ma s grande que nosotros mismos.
Paz en Cristo, Phil Arkfeld, Director de Mu sica y Liturgia

Parishioner generosity, in the past, has gifted ten children from military families the possibility of a Catholic education. This program directly impacts families and students who otherwise would find it difficult, if not impossible, to afford a Catholic education. Your donation will also allow our school to provide a greater amount of educational support for all students. We endeavor to accept students and families regardless of their financial need. Your tax-deductible contribution will enable more families in our parish and local community to benefit from OLF's high-quality, Christian-value education. Through your generosity, you are able to personally foster and make an impact on a desirable education for children at Our Lady of Fatima Academy. Please look for the "Sponsor A Student" pamphlets at the back counters and side door exits. Thank you so very much!
