Remembering St Brendan's and St Ann's

in your will

Many people have given bequests over the

years to our parish collaborative and we are

grateful for their generosity. Gifts and bequests

are a line item in our parish budgets and as the

fiscal year comes to a close some have inquired

about the logistics of giving a large or small gift

as part of your estate planning. If you would

like more information about how this can be

done in loving memory of anyone in your life

please contact our finance manager Nancy Lafoe

or any member of our finance councils. May

the Lord continue to inspire us to be cheerful

givers.

Thanks to Parish Leadership, staff, musicians,

lectors, servers who made our annual Outdoor

Mass a true community builder. The cookout

hosted by the Knights of Columbus and parish

volunteers was a fine way to end the day. We

are already planning for this to happen again

next year but without the rain. May Saint Pope

John Paul II, who celebrated Mass on Boston

Common nearly 40 years ago in a torrential

downpour, pray for us!

Prudent Stewards— Dr. Scott Hahn

The steward in today's Gospel confronts the reali-

ty that he can't go on living the way he has been.

He is under judgment, must give account for

what he has done.

The exploiters of the poor in today's First Reading

are also about to be pulled down, thrust from

their stations (see Isaiah 22:19). Servants of mam-

mon or money, they're so in love with wealth that

they reduce the poor to objects, despise the new

moons and sabbaths - the observances and holy

days of God (see Leviticus 23:24; Exodus 20:8).

Their only hope is to follow the steward's path.

He is no model of repentance. But he makes a

prudent calculation - to use his last hours in

charge of his master's property to show mercy to

others, to relieve their debts.He is a child of this

world, driven by a purely selfish motive - to make

friends and be welcomed into the homes of his

master's debtors. Yet his prudence is commended

as an example to us, the children of light (see 1

Thessalonians 5:5; Ephesians 5:8). We too must

realize, as the steward does, that what we have is

not honestly ours, but what in truth belongs to

another, our Master.

All the mammon in the world could not have

paid the debt we owe our Master. So He paid it

for us, gave His life as a ransom for all, as we hear

in today's Epistle. God wants everyone to be

saved, even kings and princes, even the lovers of

money (see Luke 16:14). But we cannot serve two

Masters. By his grace, we should choose to be, as

we sing in today's Psalm - "servants of the Lord."

We serve Him by using what He has entrusted us

with to give alms, to lift the lowly from the dust

and dunghills of this world. By this we will gain

what is ours, be welcomed into eternal dwellings,

the many mansions of the Father's house (see

John 14:2).
