In today's readings we clearly hear the call to stewardship. In the first reading we hear of our responsibility to feed the poor, shelter the oppressed and homeless and clothe the naked. We hear that by doing these things, when we call upon the Lord, our prayers will be answered.
In the Psalms we hear that the just man is a light in darkness and how the just man shares generously with those in need. In the second reading Paul tells us that it is not by the wisdom of men that we come to know Christ, that only by the demonstration of the Spirit.
Finally, in the Gospel we hear that we are the light of the world and that no one hides a lamp under a basket, but he puts the light on a lamp stand so that it may shine for all to see.
We must share our faith through our works by giving generously of the best we have to offer. If we are to demonstarte our Attitude of Gratitude, we must live our lives in such a manner that others see the power of Christ in our lives.
