STEWARDSHIP
Second Sunday of Lent
Abraham was prepared to sacrifice his only son, Isaac. St. Paul
reminds us that God Himself “did not spare His own Son.” Are my
gifts to the Lord - of my resources, of my time, of myself - also
sacrificial?
Segundo Domingo de Cuaresma
Abraham estaba preparado para sacrificar a su único hijo, Isaac.
San Pablo nos recuerda que el Mismo Dios “ni siquiera perdono a
Su propio Hijo.” ¿Son mis regalos al Señor - de mis recursos, de
mi tiempo, de mi mismo - también sacrificios?
