Sacrificial Giving Thank You for Giving! Stewardship Reflections “I tell you, Peter, before the cock crows this day, you will deny three times that you know me.” (Luke 22:34) How many times have you heard someone make a disparaging comment about Jesus or our Catholic faith? How did you react? Do you remain quiet not to cause a disturbance? Or, do you remain quiet because you believe people will think negatively about you? Pray for the courage to speak up and enter into a respectful dialogue when the opportunity arises.

Reflexiones sobre dar generosamente "Te lo digo, Peter, antes de que el gallo cante este día, negarás tres veces que me conoces". (Lucas 22:34) ¿Cuántas veces has escuchado a alguien hacer un comentario despectivo sobre Jesús o nuestra fe católica? ¿Cómo reaccionaste? ¿Permaneces callado para no causar disturbios? O, ¿permanece callado porque cree que la gente pensará negativamente sobre usted? Ore por la valentía de hablar y entrar en un diálogo respetuoso cuando se presente la oportunidad.
