As Jesus’ passion on Calvary loomed nearer, He did not shy away from His mission, but rather, He firmly fixed His gaze on accomplishing what He was sent out to do. Our mission is to gratefully and generously offer our time and talents to our parish community as a means of serving Christ and the Church. Let us strive to pray to God every day, asking Him for the strength to persevere in our call of stewardship, especially in difficult moments.
