May 31, 2026 The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity EX 34:4b-6, 8-9; DN 3:52-56; 2 COR 13:11-13; JN 3:16-18 Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity — the central mystery of our Christian faith. While the Trinity is beyond our full understanding, it reveals something essential for us as Christian stewards. The Trinity is a communion of Persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — who give themselves completely to one another in perfect love. This self-giving love is at the heart of the stewardship way of life. In our first reading, God reveals Himself to … Read more

May 17, 2026 The Ascension of the Lord ACTS 1:1-11; PS 47:2-3, 6-9; EPH 1:17-23; MT 28:16-20 Today we celebrate the great feast of the Ascension of our Lord — that moment when Jesus, 40 days after His Resurrection, was lifted up into heaven as the apostles watched in stunned amazement. It is recounted in both our first reading from Acts and our Gospel from Matthew. It must have been an extraordinary thing to witness. Yet the first reading makes clear that the apostles were not meant to remain there, simply gazing upward. “Men of Galilee, why are you standing … Read more

In our first reading from Acts, we hear that the Samaritans had accepted the word of God, yet something was still missing. Peter and John came to them and prayed that they might receive the … Read more

He is the Good Shepherd and we can confidently place our trust in Him as we live the stewardship way of life. In both the first and second readings, we find Peter embracing his role as leader of the newborn Church.

April 19, 2026 Third Sunday of Easter ACTS 2:14, 22-33; PS 16:1-2, 5, 7-11; 1 PT 1:17-21; LK 24:13-35 Today’s readings focus on a theme of “sojourning.” As Christian stewards, we know that our lives are a sojourn toward the ultimate destination of heaven. Our second reading instructs us to “conduct yourselves with reverence during the time of your sojourning, realizing that you were ransomed… with the precious blood of Christ.” What a powerful reminder during the Easter season of our “why” for embracing the stewardship way of life — we have been ransomed by our Lord’s saving death and … Read more

We are called to be good stewards of the Easter season. Our first reading, from Acts, gives instruction on how to do this. Here, St. Peter says that our Lord, “commissioned us to preach to the people and … Read more
