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, 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.
