MISSION STATEMENT: Blessed Trinity Catholic Church Stewardship Community recognizes Jesus is Lord. We believe that

our Time, Talent and Treasure are gifts from God to be used for the spiritual, educational and social needs of

our community, the Diocese and the world at large, especially the poor.

STEWARDSHIP BY THE BOOK

The words of the psalmist echo the theme of all of today’s readings. “Blessed are they who hope in the

Lord.” As good stewards, firmly grounded in that hope, may we bear fruit in due season—assisting the

poor, feeding the hungry, and consoling the sorrowful whenever we have the chance.

Today’s readings speak of an essential quality for the Christian steward — hope. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, “Hope is the theological virtue by which we desire the kingdom of heaven and eternal life as our happiness, placing our trust in Christ’s promises and relying not on our own strength but on the help of the grace of the Holy Spirit (CCC 1817).” In many ways this is the very definition of a stewardship way of life — focusing on eternity as we live our daily lives and relying on God to provide for our needs and satisfy our deepest longings for meaning and happiness right now. In today’s Gospel from Luke, Jesus describes the true richness of life that is possible for those of us who are willing to live as his hope-filled disciples. We are all familiar with this passage in which Jesus reveals the Beatitudes: blessed are the poor; they have the kingdom of God. Blessed are those now hungry because they will be satisfied. Blessed are those who weep because they will laugh. Blessed are those who are hated, excluded and insulted because they are disciples of Jesus; they will be greatly rewarded in heaven. Jesus is describing here the character of one who is living a life of hope – the life of a Christian steward whose trust is firmly rooted in God and who is focused on others and eternity. It is not always an easy life, but it is a deeply meaningful life and one that leads to eternal reward.

Book of the week: “A Good Life: Benedict’s Guide to Everyday Joy” "There is no shortage of good days," writes Annie Dillard. "It is good lives that are hard to come by." Reflecting on what makes a "good life," Robert Benson offers a warmhearted, humorous guide to enriching our lives with the wisdom of Benedict, a 6th century monk. Each chapter is shaped around a Benedictine principle: prayer, rest, community, and work, and reveals the brilliant and infinitely practical ways that Benedictine spirituality can shape our lives today. Benson is honest and wise, sharing his own failings and the constant tension that he feels between the demands of the temporal and the spiritual. For anyone who feels caught in a web of conflicting priorities, or who finds the pace of modern life more draining than fulfilling, A Good Life will come as a welcome treat for the soul.” The Blessed Trinity Gift Store Hours: Wednesday* 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month—3:30pm – 5:30pm,*10% off all regular priced items.

LIGHTHOUSE CATHOLIC MEDIA

St. Teresa of Avila The Truth to Inspire Series offers children captivating dramatizations of the lives of saints and well-known Marian apparitions to teach them about the Catholic Faith. St.

Teresa of Ávila had a fiery personality as a young girl and was often distracted by the world. Despite many temptations, she grew up to be a powerful influence on the Catholic Church. Her determination to follow God’s will is an inspiring example for both the young and the old.

PLEASE NOTE: The cost of the CD’s and Books is

Pope Quote

Pope Paul VI addressed the 1st International Conference on the Charismatic Renewal in1975.

In closing, he said:

“Have we forgotten the Holy Spirit? Certainly not! We want him, we honor him, and we love him. And you with your devotion, your fervor, your wish to live in the Spirit: this should be. It ought to rejuvenate the world, give it back a spirituality, a soul, a religious thought; it ought to reopen the world’s closed lips to prayer and

open its mouth to song, to joy, to hymns, and to witnessing. It will be very fortunate for our time and for our brothers that there should be a whole generation -

your generation of young people - who shout out to the world the glory and greatness of the God of Pentecost.”

Visit BT’s charismatic prayer group every Thursday, 7-8:30pm in the Elder Care center.

Find rejuvenation & joy! Call Richard or Katy for more information at 307-9009.

OUR CATHOLIC APPEAL PRAYER:

O Lord,

we praise You for the

many gifts You give us each day;

from the moment we were a

presence in our mother’s womb to

the grace-filled rise of the sun,

to the blessing of Sacrament,

to the night which ushers us rest.

Help us to grow in our living faith.

Guide us to serve as leaders to bring

about holiness. Bring us to share

ourselves selflessly in all things

in a spirit of love of You.

In the Eucharistic banquet,

You give Yourself completely and

entirely to us. We give You our

return, O Lord, with gratitude

knowing there is no measure

to the gift of the Cross

which brings us resurrection.

~Amen

BROTHER’S KEEPER IS MOVING… We are very excited to announce that in the next few months the Brother’s Keeper Thrift Store and Emergency Assistance Program offices will be moving from our downtown location to 320 NW 10th Street (the old Napa Auto Parts Building). Our

new building is larger, has lots of free

parking, is single-storied and is an

overall more customer and

client-friendly facility. We are very blessed to have found a facility that allows us to expand our ministry and our ability to help those in need in our community. As we transition to this new facility, we will need your help! The new building is in good overall condition but will require many repairs and improvements, including a new roof, to suit our needs.
