STEWARDSHIP

June 4, 2017

Pentecost Sunday God Centered Stewardship

“To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.” 1 CORINTHIANS 12:7

To receive the gift of the Holy Spirit you must open your heart and let Him in! Open your heart and be grateful for all the gifts God has given us. Regardless of your circumstance, God has given us all blessings. What we do with those gifts is our gift back to God. Generously sharing our gifts in Stewardship keeps us more “God-centered” and less “self-centered”.

Most Holy Trinity Grateful Heart Stewardship

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son…” JOHN 3:16a

Is your love conditional? Is there a price others have to pay to receive your love? Are you generous with your time, 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? Stewards pray for a grateful and generous heart.

Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) Stewardship Generosity

“Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.” 1 CORINTHIANS 10:17

As disciples of Jesus, we are called to lead holy lives and invite others to join us. Living a Stewardship lifestyle, being grateful and generous with our gifts, serves a twofold purpose. One, it helps build God’s kingdom here on earth. Two, it is a road map to Heaven. Let’s help each other get there!

12th Sunday of Ordinary Times Stewards Pray Publicly

“Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father.” MATTHEW 10:32

Do you share your Catholic faith with others? Do you defend your Catholic faith or do you remain silent when the situation arises? Do you pray in public before meals? Stewards pray for the strength and courage to be a joyful witnesses of our Catholic faith when the opportunity presents itself.
