Stewardship Moment: “And Jesus said to him, ‘Go your way; your faith has made you well.’ And immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.” (Mark 10:52) Faith is believing in something even though you may not be able to physically see it. Many people think that miracles don’t happen anymore. This is hard, but try to focus on the positive and not the negative things in your life. When you focus on your blessings instead of your hardships, miracles will seem common. You will see God’s active presence in your daily life. You will begin to develop an attitude of gratitude.

Stewardship Moment: “For the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45) If you held a mirror up to your life, would it reflect God’s love and mercy? If you are struggling with this, try changing your attitude from “I want more” to “thank you God for everything you have given me, I have enough to share”. This change in perspective will bring you joy through service to others. Pray daily to become less self-centered and to become more God-centered.
 

Today, World Mission Sunday, is not just another Sunday; it is a powerful reminder of our call to be missionaries. The collection taken up on this day is unique as it is mandated by the Code of Canon Law and is essential for the survival and growth of the Church in mission territories. These funds support the pastoral and evangelizing work of the Church, including building churches, providing healthcare & education, and training future priests & religious. In places where resources are scarce, your generosity makes a profound difference. As we reflect on the theme “Go and invite everyone to the banquet,” let us remember that our participation and support help invite countless souls to the feast of God’s love. Please make your check payable to St. Elizabeth (memo line “World Mission”). The parish deposits the checks and includes the donation in your individual giving record. We send a check to the Diocese of Fargo remitting these funds and they remit these funds to the national office.

Stewardship Moment: “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than
for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” (MARK 10:25) Jesus uses tough language
that we may not want to hear. However, we are all called to be generous with all of our gifts.
Not just the ones we pick and choose, but all our gifts, and especially the one that means the
most to us! That includes our time in prayer to God, our talent in participating in parish
ministries and our treasure supporting our local parish and other charities.

Next Sunday, we will have a second collection to support the spread of the Gospel in mission territories. This year’s theme, chosen by Pope Francis, is “Go and invite everyone to the banquet,” emphasizing our call to bring God’s love and message to all corners of the world. The contributions collected on World Mission Sunday are crucial for sustaining the Church’s mission in over 1,150 territories where the Church is still young or struggling. Please make your check payable to St. Elizabeth’s. The parish deposits the checks and includes the donation in your individual giving record. We send a check to the Diocese of Fargo remitting these funds & the Diocese of Fargo remits these funds to the national office.
