Stewardship Moments: Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time
Does an encounter like Zacchaeus’ meeting with Jesus elicit extraordinary behavior in you? Here is what Pope Francis had to say: It is the encounter between Jesus Christ and the rich tax collector Zacchaeus, as a result of which Zacchaeus made a radical decision of sharing and justice, because his conscience had been awakened by the gaze of Jesus. This same spirit should be at the beginning and end of all political and economic activity. The gaze, often silent, of that part of the human family which is cast off, left behind, ought to awaken the conscience of political and economic agents and lead them to generous and courageous decisions with immediate results, like the decision of Zacchaeus. Does this spirit of solidarity and sharing guide all our thoughts and actions?

Pope Francis Quote for the Weekend
Jesus commanded his disciples, “You give them something to eat!” It means working to eliminate the structural causes of poverty and to promote the integral development of the poor, in meeting the real needs which we encounter. The word “solidarity” refers to something more than a few sporadic acts of generosity. It presumes the creation of a new mindset which thinks in terms of community and the priority of the life of all, over the appropriation of goods by a few.” The Joy of the Gospel

Stewardship Moments: Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
If we want to know what Jesus’ parable is about in today’s Gospel, it seems that we don’t need to work too hard because Saint Luke tell us right at the beginning: “Jesus told his disciples a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart.” This parable has often been used to bring comfort to us about our prayer life. But could there be a more challenging message for those who take stewardship seriously?
Widows were the poorest and most vulnerable of people in Jesus’ time. Oppressive legal and economic structures were the norm. Jesus embraced with great compassion the poor and the marginalized. Could it be that we are also encouraged to pray persistently for the poor, the weak and the vulnerable as we hear their cry for justice? And that we must not lose heart that we can effect change in their lives?
