Stewardship

A Way of Life

This Week’s Readings

The second son in today’s Gospel said he would do his father’s bidding, but did not. The first son balked at first, but then repented and did as he was asked. What service is God calling me to do? Which son am I more like?

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. — Prepared by Diana Macalintal. Copyright © 2013, Diocese of San Jose.
