STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT

At the conclusion of today’s gospel, we hear Jesus tell a “great crowd” that “…anyone of you

who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.” Surely the renunciation of possessions need not mean literally giving all

one’s possessions away, does it? Do our possessions keep us from encountering

Christ at Mass? Do they distract us from our family? Do they make us insensitive

to those less fortunate?
