Stewardship is …

 Why does stewardship call us to give? Of course, our parish and other charities need our financial support to run ministries, pay bills, staff and much more. However, do we ever consider our need to give? 

"He humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”  — Philippians 2:8

Lent calls for sacrifice much like stewardship. What better time than Lent to focus on being a good Christian steward. During Lent we make sacrifices for 40 days through prayer, fasting and almsgiving to prepare for Easter. As faithful Catholic stewards, we are called to step out of our comfort zone to share the gifts of time, talent and treasure that God so generously gave us all the time. If we are not living the life of a Christian steward, Lent is the perfect time to start!
