Stewardship Reflection for Sunday, July 28, 2013 The Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Today we are reminded that God is just and merciful. Abraham pleaded with the Lord to spare the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah if ten innocent people could be found. But justice demanded that the wicked people be punished. This justice became the foundation of the Mosaic law and Jewish society. St. Paul explained to the Colossians that when we turn to God in faith our sins can be forgiven. Jesus teaches us that we can exhibit justice and still reflect the mercy God shows to us. He explains that we will receive good gifts from our heavenly Father, just as our earthly father gave us what we needed. May we accept God’s mercy.
