Stewardship by the Book
The Gospel today is sometimes called the Gospel in miniature because it so concisely sums up the Gospel message. In even more condensed form, God loved... God gave..., it is the paradigm for stewardship we give because we love.
Vocation View
Each of us experiences God’s revelation in a unique way. Tell your story. Add to the beautiful mosaic of God’s life in this world with the story of your life.
Stewardship Reflections
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son…” JOHN 3:16
Is your love conditional? Is there a price others have to pay to receive your love and forgiveness? Are you generous with your time, skills, money and possessions? If you give someone something, do you expect something in return? Do you give your time freely or do you “fit it in” when it’s convenient for you? God desires a personal relationship with us so much that He gave us His Son, unconditionally! Pray for a grateful and generous heart.
Family Perspective
As the Father “sent his son into the world” so parents send their children into the world “so that the world might be saved.” This is the missionary role of the Christian family. Your family is a school where your children develop convictions which enable them to make a difference in the world.
Word of Life
“The Gospel of Life is at the heart of Jesus’ saving message to the world. Through the Incarnation of Christ, God reveals to us the dignity of all human life.’
USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities “Pope St. John Paul II’s Challenge to Our Church”
