“In this weekend's Gospel, Jesus makes some remarkable claims (to his disciples)… that they will do greater works than Jesus Himself!.. What could Jesus
possibly mean? You and I are unlikely to walk on water.
Consider: Jesus healed dozens, maybe hundreds of people; the Gospels tell us he fed thousands upon thousands. And how many people have received medical attention from Christ’s followers since his Ascension? How many have been fed? How many have been consoled? How many have had the good news preached to them? The answer should stun us, or it is both untold millions and not nearly enough.” (Brett Salkeld, Archdiocese of Regina, excerpted from Sunday Missal)

Stewardship Bulletin Bit
“The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” (1 Peter 2:7)
Every person has been given gifts from the Holy Spirit. These are called “charisms” and they are used to build God’s kingdom on earth. While many people are able to recognize their natural talents and abilities, they may be unsure of their charisms. If you know someone who is struggling for a direction in life, give them a little encouragement. Help them discern their charisms and how God is calling them to use them. Remember - no gift is too small or insignificant in God’s salvation plan.
