Parish News: The Twenty-Fifth Sunday and Week of the Year

In the parable Jesus tells today, it is the dishonest steward who is praised. This seems peculiar. But the message is in the contrast between the subject of the parable – money – and true spiritual riches from God. We are challenged to ask ourselves who our real master is, but also to use all the gifts we have received wisely. 

You can read the scriptures for this week here.

Please pray for:
The sick and those in need
Conor, Chinye, Adelida, Jason, Rod, Edny & John.

The Faithful departed
The repose of the soul of our late Queen, Elizabeth.
All who have worshipped in and served at Saint Benet’s and those whose year’s mind falls this week.

The cover art is The Unjust Steward by Kazakh artist Nelly Bube.
