In today’s reading, St. Paul reminds the Romans – and us – that all things come from God: “For from Him and through Him and for Him all things
are.” Good stewards understand that all is gift and share generously the gifts of time, talent, and treasure with which they’ve been blessed.

A PRAYER FOR RAIN: Father, You said whatsoever any two or more come together and agree and ask in Your
Son's name, it shall be given. We come to you, humbly, and ask that you bring down the rain to our parched lands.
Our farmers and ranchers need it desperately, as well as our firefighters. We ask this all in Jesus' name. Amen.
