Without God, we forget that all is gift and we begin to think ourselves as owners, instead of stewards, masters of the universe instead of servants of the one lord who has called us to nurture and develop his gifts wisely and well for the good of all.
- Pope Benedict XVI
As good stewards, we thank God for all of His blessings by returning a portion of the Time, Talents and Treasure allotted to us. Conscious that what we have been given by God belongs to Him, we are only giving back what He already owns. We feel the need to give back in thanksgiving, regardless of the needs of the Church or the parish. Stewardship is a spiritual way of life that leads to conversion and a deeper relationship with Jesus.
As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace.
1 Peter 4:10
