STEWARDSHIP
(SACRIFICIAL GIVING)
Stewardship
is a total concept embracing all areas of life. It
is a central theme of the Bible, which tells us
that we are not owners of our time, talent, and
treasure. We are stewards, called to manage these
gifts for a limited time, responsible to God who
entrusts them to us.
The
stewardship approach starts not with institutional
needs, but with something even more important: The
personal needs of each one of us to return to God a
truly grateful portion of our income in
thanksgiving for all the good things that God gives
us.
"No
where does Christ condemn the mere possession of
earthly goods as such, instead, He pronounces very
harsh words against those who use their possessions
in a selfish way, without paying attention to the
needs of others." - Pope John Paul
II
We
are called to be stewards of the gifts we have
received from God. He has given each of us, in
varying amounts, His gifts of time, talents, and
treasure. We are stewards or caretakers of these
gifts and have a responsibility to use them to help
build up the kingdom of God, to build a better
world and a better Church. By sharing our time and
talents with our parish, we give back to God a
portion of these gifts. By giving generously to our
parish, we give back to God a share of the
treasures we have received, thereby helping to
build up the Church and to aid the suffering and
the needy of the world. True stewardship,
therefore, means sharing our time, talents, and
treasure, not hoarding them for our personal use
and pleasure.
