Reflection on the Readings for the 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time

God says to all of us, “be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.” The Second Vatican Council teaches us that we can reach holiness by gratefully acknowledging the gifts God has given us and cooperating with God in giving these gifts back for the service of the Church. Therefore, let us take some time to reflect on how we can become better stewards in our parish community so that we may move closer, through God’s grace, towards holiness.
