A REFLECTION ON THE READINGS FOR THE SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

St. John the Baptist used his gifts of prophecy and preaching to help make Christ known. Likewise, Cardinal Collins, in his Pastoral Letter on Stewardship, says that our time, talent and treasure “are the gifts that each of us has freely received, and which we need to use responsibly in a spirit of gratitude.” Let us strive to be intentional and tangible in our resolve to be stewards by offering our gifts back to God and our parish community.
