 Stewardship and Development Thoughts from Judy Held Scripture Readings 9/17/2017-9/24/2017
President, Catholic Foundation of Eastern Montana
9/17 Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Stewardship Thought: For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, Sirach 27:30-28:7; Psalm 103:1-4, 9-12; Romans 14:7-9; Matthew 18:21-35
whether we live or die, we are the Lords - ROMANS 14:8
9/18 Monday of the Twenty-Fourth Week in Ordinary Time
This is the essence of stewardship everything we have and everything we are is a gift from God. We 1 Timothy 2:1-8; Psalm 28:2, 7-9; Luke 7:1-10
arent owners of anything, we are merely stewards of the gifts that God has given us, especially our

very own lives. Pray to God, daily, and ask Him how He wants you to use the gifts He has given you.
1 Timothy 3:1-13; Psalm 101:1-3, 5-6; Luke 7:11-17
Development Thought: A simple idea: Heres a very simple way to make a significant contribution to 9/20 Sts. Andrew Kim Tae-gon, Priest, Paul Chong Ha-sang, & Companions, Martyrs
benefit our parish or our diocese that can provide you significant personal benefits: Name us as the owner
1 Timothy 3:14-16; Psalm 111:1-6; Luke 7:31-35
and beneficiary of a paid-up life insurance policy that you no longer need. Either for an outright gift or for
our parishs permanent endowment. Without writing a check, you can make a gift and reap several 9/21 St. Matthew, Apostle & Evangelist
advantages. Contact Judy Held, Catholic Foundation of Eastern Montana, at 800-332- 9998, ext. 120 to Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-13; Psalm 19:2-5; Matthew 9:9-13

Drinking the Spirit
9/23 St. Pius of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio), Priest

faith and as a community. Each week we will have a different Catholic topic with a presenter. Questions
