STEWARDSHIP SPOTLIGHT - OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE

This weekend is allegedly the final week of our annual stewardship renewal. I say “allegedly” because if you think that by hibernating through these four weeks, you’re in the clear, as Lee Corso would say, “Not so fast,

my friend.”

Last weekend we heard from the priests at mass after communion, and stewardship commitment bro-chures were distributed. Everyone 18 years or older - student, working, retired, not working - should have got-ten one to look over, pray over, and act on. If you were out of town or didn’t get one, there are some on the ta-bles by the doors. Alternatively, especially if you’re reading this at home and not during mass, you can access the brochure online at catholicgators.org/stewardship. Furthermore, you can complete and submit the commit-ment card online on the same page. These online materials will be available permanently. So, if you missed out on completing your renewal commitment last week, it literally is never too late.

Everyone should be able to commit time to God. The brochure has several suggested ways to do this. Even if you’re just committing time, why should you turn in a brochure? First, it is an opportunity to register with the parish. We want and need to know and connect with our faith community. This includes students. Furthermore, I believe that making a spiritual commitment will have more significance to us if we share it with the faith community. Don’t get me wrong; we’re not going to publish your commitment. Telling myself that I’m going to read the Bible every day carries a lot less weight to me than making a commitment through my faith community. We have a multitude of talent sharing opportunities. Checking off those that interest you will get you in touch with the relevant coordinators. If you check off choir and then decide that this is not a good time to follow through, that’s OK. It’s just a point of initial contact, so be bold in committing your talents. Please prayer-fully consider your commitment of treasure. No contribution is too small to submit. Making a pledge and fol-lowing through with it is an act of faith in God’s providence. Please consider giving online at catholicgators.org/make-a-donation. There is no minimum contribution.

Today we celebrate the solemnity of Christ the King. Do we think of Jesus as our Lord, to whom we owe everything? Do our actions in terms of stewardship of our resources of time, talent, and treasure reflect this?
