"So Pilate
said to him, "Then you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You
say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world,
to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to
my voice." --Jn 18:37

Support
Next weekend we participate in the special Collection for the Catholic
Campaign for Human Development. For 33 Years, this initiative of the Catholic
Church has worked to address the root causes of poverty. The Campaign
has funded thousands of projects nationally and more than 100 in the Archdiocese
of New York that have empowered people to work together to solve community
problems, create jobs and build affordable housing. The Campaign gives
us an opportunity to respond to the Gospel's call to solidarity with the
poor. Please give generously.

Thank you for your generosity
It is God who gives me time.
So in gratitude, I give some of my time to God.
It is God who gives me the skills I have.
So in Gratitude I make sure that I give away some of my abilities
for God's good work.
It is God who gives me possessions.
So, in gratitude, I give some off the top to God.
Gratitude, thanksgiving is at the heart of our relationship to God.
