In their synagogue was a man

STEW ARDSHIP AND THE SllNDAY GOSPEL
In the midst of miracles and cures and deep understanding of peo­
ple, Jesus may sometimes seem distant from us . The readings on
this Fourth Sunday in Ordinal), Time, however, emphasize His
humanity; He was one of the people, someone who each of us
could relate to not as a God , but a man. However, it can be a bit
overwhelming for us to accept Jesus in the way He wants us to .
That does not mean we do not acknowledge His divinity, but we
al so must view Him as a companion on our own life's journey. In
a sense, this is what stewardship calls us to - walking with the
Lord and leaning on Him when we must, and certainly finding
strength in His presence. But to have Him present in our lives
requires us to make an effort to make that happen . In the first
reading fi'om Deuteronomy, Moses declares, "A prophet like me
will the Lord, your God, raise up for you from among your own
kin ; to him you shall listen." Throughout Advent and the Christ­
mas season we prepared for the arrival of Jesus. Now as we ap­
proach Lent and Easter it is time for us to listen to Him. The late
Archbishop Fulton Sheen said, "One of the best ways to get hap­
piness and pleasure out of life is to ask ourselves, 'How can I
please God' ?" For more reflections on scripture and stewardship

Our volunteers are happy to heat any food donations that come to the parish or directly to the soup kitchen.

VOLUNTEER(S) NEEDED
We are seeking one or several volunteers for a rela­
tively simple task, to "adopt a pump". Our religious
education building contains 6 large pumps which
keep our rooms dry. They are relatively easy to main­
tain but they do require an occasional check to keep a
balanced water level in the battery. We are seeking
one or more volunteer who could take on the task of
overseeing the pumps every other month or so and
refilling the battery with water when necessary. John
Carter, a parish volunteer who manages the systems
in the church will be more than pleased to have a vol­
unteer or two for the RE room pumps and will walk
the volunteer through the process of checking and
filling the battery. This is the perfect volunteer oppor­
tunity for busy parishioners or Religious Education
parents who can't commit much time but would like
to help their church. For additional infonnation
contact Bernadette at 781-893-8461.
