kingdom; this is our stewardship. All our gifts, talents, material possessions, etc. are not our own, but belong to God and He entrusted them to us to safeguard and multiply.

Jesus often speaks of stewardship, how the king gives a different amount of his treasure to each steward according to his abilities: to one five talents of gold, to another two talents, to another one. The steward with five talents earned five more; the one with two earned two more; the one with one talent buried it, and was sent to the outer darkness, i.e. hell (see Matthew 25:14-30). This shows how God wants us to know that our talents of time, gifts, and treasure are gifts from him that we are called to multiply and then give them back to him.

On another occasion the steward unjustly used the benefits of his stewardship for himself, but was smart to make friends with the treasures he had amassed so that they would receive him into their “heavenly” home once he had rendered an account of his stewardship to the Lord (see Luke 16:1-9). This shows that anyone can do some good with their wealth by being generous with God’s gifts to those doing God’s work.

A true steward always fulfills his responsibilities in service of God, with gratitude for all the gifts he or she has received and strives to multiply and use those talents for our Lord’s mission. We acknowledge Christ’s lordship over all the gifts and talents we have received by giving back.

The gift of time: we acknowledge it as a gift that we receive from God by setting aside time for God in prayer. If you don’t give your spouse, family, or friends sufficient time there simply is no opportunity for those relationships to grow and mature; even more so with God. Let’s steward our time so that our Lord knows he is number one in our life. If we were to tithe our waking hours, then we would spend more than 90 minutes in some form of prayer (144 minutes if we tithed the whole day): daily Mass, Holy Rosary, some spiritual reading, meditation. Some ordinary Catholics do it! Is God not worth it? Perhaps we can work towards it.

The gift of work: perhaps we can volunteer teaching catechism (Family of Faith), or mentoring young people (such as at Midtown or Metro Programs), or serving at some soup kitchen. In this way we serve Christ in serving other souls.

The gift of treasure: when we tithe we acknowledge that it is our Lord’s money that we steward. Do I spend more money on extras, eating out, Starbucks, clothes, entertainment (cable or Dish), etc. than I give back to God? That doesn’t make sense if we truly are stewards of God’s treasure.

This stewardship attitude and approach frees us to truly put our trust in God and not worry about success or failure, as we know that God will always provide. Do you believe that? Then use this month of October to reflect on your stewardship over the gifts of time, work, and treasure you have received from Christ, and then consider how you use your gifts to manifest Christ’s lordship over you.

NOTA SEMANAL

Servicio: Reconocer el Señorío de Cristo

Octubre es el mes del Santo Rosario, mes en que dedicamos un tiempo para rezarle a Nuestra Señora de una forma especial. Octubre es también un tiempo para reflexionar sobre el Señorío de Cristo y nuestro servicio a El.

Nuestro Señor confía a cada uno de nosotros una responsabilidad especial en su Reino; esto es lo que ha de ser nuesro servicio. Todos nuestros dones, talentos, posesiones materiales, etc. no son nuestros, sino que le pertenecen a Dios, y Él nos los ha confiado para que los protejamos y los multipliquemos.

Jesús habla con frecuencia acerca de servicio; como el rey que da una cantidad diferente de su tesoro a cada servidor de acuerdo a sus capacidades: a uno cinco talentos, a otro dos talentos, a otro un talento. El servidor con cinco talentos ganó cinco más; el de dos talentos ganó dos más; el de un talento lo enterró y no hizo nada con él, como consecuencia fue enviado a las tinieblas de afuera, es decir, el infierno (Cfr. Mateo 25:14-30). Esto demuestra cómo Dios quiere que sepamos que nuestros talentos del tiempo, dones y tesoros son regalos que Él nos da, y que estamos llamados a multiplicarlos y a devolvérselos.

En otra ocasión el administrador injustamente utiliza los beneficios de su administración para su propio beneficio, y supo ser inteligente e hizo amigos usando los tesoros que había acumulado para que le recibieran luego en sus casas "celestiales", una vez que hubiera rendido cuentas de su administración al Señor (Cfr. Lucas 16:1-9). Esto demuestra cualquiera puede hacer algo bueno con sus riquezas, como el ser generosos con los regalos de Dios hacia aquellos están haciendo el trabajo de Dios.

Un verdadero servidor siempre cumple con sus responsabilidades en el servicio de Dios, con gratitud por todos los dones que ha recibido, y se esfuerza para multiplicar y utilizar esos talentos para la misión de Nuestro Señor. Reconocemos el señorío de Cristo sobre los dones y talentos que hemos recibido cuando los utilizamos bien.

El regalo del tiempo: reconocemos que es un regalo de Dios cuando dedicamos un tiempo para Él mediante la oración. Si usted no le da el tiempo suficiente a su esposo(a), a su familia o amigos, simplemente no habrá ninguna posibilidad de que esas relaciones crezcan y maduren; más aún con Dios. Administremos nuestro tiempo de manera que nuestro Señor sepa que Él es el más importante en nuestras vidas. Si tuviéramos que pagarle un décimo de tiempo por cada hora en que estamos despiertos, entonces dedicaríamos más de 90 minutos en alguna forma de oración (144 minutos si tomamos en cuenta todo el día): La Santa Misa, el Santo

Rosario, alguna lectura espiritual, meditación... ¡Algunos católicos ordinarios lo hacen! ¿No cree que lo vale Dios? Tal vez podemos empezar a hacer algo para lograrlo.

El regalo del trabajo: tal vez podemos ayudar enseñando el Catecismo (Familia de Fe), o siendo tutores de jóvenes (como en los Programas de Midtown o Metro), o servir en una de las cocinas para gente sin hogar. De esta manera podemos servir a Cristo sirviendo a otras almas.

El regalo del tesoro: cuando damos limosna a la iglesia reconocemos que nuestro dinero es realmente de nuestro Señor, nosotros solo somos administradores. ¿Gasto más dinero en cosas extras -como como comer fuera de casa, en ropa, en entretenimiento (Internet, cable), Starbucks, etc.- que lo que le devuelvo a Dios? Esto no tiene sentido si somos verdaderos administradores de los tesoros de Dios.

La actitud de un buen administrador enfocado en lo que Dios quiere nos libera para verdaderamente poner nuestra confianza en Él, y para no preocuparnos por el éxito o el fracaso, porque ya sabemos que Dios siempre proveerá. ¿Cree usted esto? Entonces, puede usar este mes de octubre para reflexionar en la administración de los dones del tiempo, del trabajo y del tesoro que ha recibido de Cristo, y luego considere cómo usar esos dones para manifestar el señorío de Cristo sobre usted.

OCTUBRE, MES DEL ROSARIO

Rezar el Santo Rosario considerando los Misterios, repitiendo el Padre Nuestro y el Ave Marí a, con las alabanzas a la Santí sima Trinidad, y la invocacio n constante de la Madre de Dios, es un acto continuo de fe, esperanza y amor, de adoracio n y reparacio n.
