Stewardship Reflections: 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time 2012~“Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward.” (Mark 9:41) Our Lord’s comment about the simple gesture of giving a drink of water is a reminder of how Jesus taught that we would all be judged at the end of time. “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me a drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in pris-on and you visited me.” (Matthew 25:35) Our service and sacrifice to our parish and the greater Church allows us to care for Jesus when He is hungry, thirsty, ill or in need.

Reflexiones de Mayordomía: Domingo 26 del Tiempo Ordinario de 2012 ~ “Cualquiera que te dé una taza de agua para beber porque perteneces a Cristo, Amén, te digo, que seguramente no perderá su recompensa.” (Marcos 9:41) El comentario de nuestro Señor sobre el simple gesto de dar un trago de agua es un recordatorio de cómo Jesús enseñó que todos vamos a ser juzgados al final del tiempo. “Porque tuve hambre y ustedes me dieron de comer, tuve sed y me disteis de beber, un extraño y tú me dieron la bienvenida, estaba desnudo y me vistieron, estuve enfermo y me cuidaron, estuve en la carcel y me visitaron. (Mateo 25, 35) Nuestro servicio y sacri-ficio a nuestra parroquia y a la iglesia mayor nos permite cuidar a Jesús cuando Él tiene hambre, sed, está enfermo o en necesidad.
