Saints
as stewards lead us toward sanctity
By
Andrew Kaczynski
Who is a Christian steward? The U.S. bishops’ pastoral
letter, Stewardship: A Disciple’s Response, answers that
question this way: “One who receives God’s gifts
gratefully, cherishes and tends them in a responsible and accountable
manner, shares them in justice and love with others, and returns
them with increase to the Lord.”

Seeing
is believing: Christ and the Father are one
 |
Regis
Martin |
By Regis Martin, S.T.D.
Of all the recorded words spoken by Christ in the New Testament,
among the most consoling are the ones that promise eternal life
to those who love Him. “There are many dwelling places in
my Father’s house; otherwise, should I have said to you, I
am going away to prepare a home for you? And though I do go away,
to prepare you a home, I am coming back; and then I will take you
to myself, so that you too may be where I am” (Jn 14:2-3).
Who can improve upon that? It is the promise, after all, of sheer,
unsurpassed, unending joy. However, the moment the words are out
of His mouth, two of the disciples throw their hands into the air,
completely befuddled by what they mean. Thomas, for example, who
hasn’t a clue as to where the Lord might be going, is filled
with perplexity about the way. Thus prompting Jesus to pronounce
in magisterial accent, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the
Life; no one comes to the Father, except through me” (14:6).
