Liturgy of the Hours: Week I of the Psalter Jesus is not fooled by the Pharisees and Herodians’ shameful flattery, but sees through it to their malice and hypocrisy. These vices lead to a false dichotomy between earthly and divine kingdoms. Goodness and truth lead us to recognize our place and proper conduct in both kingdoms. When earthly kingdoms are guided by God’s values and ways, they are no less than the spatial presence here and now of God’s kingdom. And we pay only one tax: the self-giving that bears the image of Jesus. Our Love and Prayers go out to: Rolland Porter, brother of Loyse Porter, Emily Gibbons, granddaughter of Wally & Gloria Mueller, June Tollefson, mother of Gloria Mueller, Tom Sapa, Krissie Krooeger, cousin of Karen Lucht, Gladys Bommersbach, Robynn Smith, cousin of Karen Lucht, George Theis, brother of Dorothy Crabtree & Mary Ann Larson, Karen Brenteson, sister of Wally Mueller, Ann Lehon, cousin of Barb Schauer, Scott Ward, nephew of Barb Schauer, Kris, daughter of Nora & Dick Wild, Shirley Hruby, Dick Wild, Paula Johnson, granddaughter of Forrest & Lois Elder, Chris, grandson of Jane and Freeman Wuollet, Jackie McClung, niece of Barb Schauer, Tim Crabtree, grandson of Dorothy & Lonnie Crabtree, Amanda Pearson, cousin of Dick Wild, Jeff Richtsmeier, son-in-law of Mary Ann Larson, Dan Anderson, son-in-law of Ed & Shirley Hruby, the homebound, those in nursing homes those serving our country and their families.

We aren’t “owners” of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has given each of us. All God is asking is that we give back a portion of what He gave us. This is the essence of Stewardship. God should be our first priority in everything. All else comes second.

This guide, has been approved by me and my fellow Catholic bishops of Minnesota. It is our hope that it will help all of us as Catholics to evaluate the public policy and political candidates we support through the lens of Catholic social teaching, and to vote with well-formed consciences. There are 25 copies of the voter guide available in our gathering area, or if you are interested in more copies you may download the document for free at : http:// www.mncc.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/MinnesotaCatholic-Voting-and-Election-guide_2014FINAL.pdf or you may ask the office to print more off as well.

This can be seen in the moving testimonies in many Church encounters where a renewed desire for marriage and family life is clearly manifested, above all in the newer generations."
