Through the Archbishop's Charities and Development Drive (ABCD), weanswer this call together, doing good and seeking peace by supportingministries that bring hope and healing.

Good Stewards recognize that God is working through them and they don't put themselves above thepeople they have been called to help.

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."MATTHEW 5:3

The phrase "poor in spirit" can be confusing. Think of it in this sense - poor in spirt meansdepending on God's providence and not depending on our own self reliance. Being detachedfrom earthy things (power, money, and comfort) and being attached to heavenly things(charity, sacrifice, and mercy). Denying ourselves fromsatisfying our desires and helping others through Stewardship to obtain their basic needs.

Help families break the cycle of poverty today by making a gift to the ABCD. www.isupportABCD.org

Questions? Please Call the Parish.

Do you get jealous? Do you focus more on the things that other people have than on the gifts that God has given to you? Are you pompous? Do you acquire more possessions to impress others? At times we are all guilty of these things. Pray for more humility. Humility helps us become less 3self-centered4 and become more 2God-centered3 for the sake of others.

"He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed Him."
Matthew 4:22
