TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Stewardship Message October 19, 2014 Weekday Masses and Intentions “Give to God the things that are God’s”. Jesus’ words remind us that everything we have belongs to God…how then do we give to him? Paying taxes; making mortgage or rent payments; paying tuitions; giving to church and charity; paying all of our day-to-day bills – when these are done with joy and gratitude to God, we are giving God what is His… our lives.
