Stewardship is giving thanks!
For many Catholics, we think seriously about stewardship
when our parish or diocese raises money but real stewardship is about becoming more fulfilled and having a greater
sense of purpose. It is giving back to God in gratitude for
his gifts. And while it’s not just about money, good
stewards have all the money they need.
God’s family comes first. All families come together in
love to care for each other, enjoy each other, and support
each other. In God’s family, we come together in His love
to care for each other, enjoy each other, and support
each other. As good stewards, we meet the needs of God’s
family first, before we spend time or money on anything
else.
Find your place. Ask God to help you discern and learn
your place in his family. What are you to do with your
gifts?
Take your seat at the table. Find out where you can put
your talents to work in your parish. Talk with your pastor,
with the rectory staff, and with parish leaders.
Think before spending. Before you commit your time or
money to any purpose, make sure you have taken care of
the needs of God’s family first. Everything we have and
everything we are comes from God. He deserves the best
we have to give in return.
