St.Michaels Question and Answer Forum
Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope, but do it with gentleness and reverence, keeping your conscience clear, so that, when you are maligned, those who defame your good conduct in Christ may themselves be put to shame. —1 Peter 3:15-16

Stewardship Reflections
Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time -February 15/16- In today’s Gospel, part of his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus does not speak of replacing the law of the Old Testament. He goes beyond it. He obliges his followers to work at being holier than even the strictest of Pharisees. But the work is not accomplished by following a religious “law,” it requires growing in love for other human beings. Followers of Jesus know they are required to be good stewards of others. In what way will you exercise good stewardship over other people this week?
Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time -February 22/23- In another passage from his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus continues to turn his disciples’ way of thinking upside down. One of the lessons for the Christian steward in today’s Gospel is that if we have a chance to help someone in need, we should be generous and give more than is expected of us. Jesus went “the extra mile” for us. Can we be more like Jesus and “go the extra mile” for others?
Sexto domingo del tiempo ordinario - En el Evangelio de hoy, parte de su Sermón del Monte, Jesús no habla de reemplazar la ley del Antiguo Testamento. Él va más allá. Obliga a sus seguidores a trabajar para ser más santos que incluso los fariseos más estrictos. Pero el trabajo no se logra siguiendo una “ley” religiosa, requiere crecer en el amor por otros seres humanos. Los seguidores de Jesús saben que deben ser buenos corresponsables de los demás. ¿De qué manera ejercerás una buena corresponsabilidad sobre otras personas esta semana?
Séptimo domingo del tiempo ordinario - Fin de semana del 22/23 de febrero de 2020 En otro pasaje de su Sermón del Monte, Jesús continúa cambiando la forma de pensar de sus discípulos. Una de las lecciones para el corresponsable cristiano en el Evangelio de hoy es que si tenemos la oportunidad de ayudar a alguien que lo necesita, debemos ser generosos y dar más de lo que se espera de nosotros. Jesús dio “la milla extra” por nosotros. ¿Podemos ser más como Jesús y “hacer un esfuerzo adicional” para los demás? -
