Stewardship Reflection for this Sunday

Flocknote

“Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus  for you” – 1 thessalonians 5:16 – 18

This scripture reading sums up Stewardship.  “Rejoice always” means place your trust in God; He will provide all that you need.   “Pray constantly” means prayer should be a running conversation with God throughout the whole day, every day.   “Give thanks in all circumstances” means even in bad situations, thank God.  Suffering a little bit helps build empathy for others in similar situations and shows our dependence on God.

Stewardship Reflection for this Sunday

“Prepare the way of the Lord…” – MARK 1:3

We are all called to live a holy life.  We are all called to invite others to live holy lives.  Living a stewardship lifestyle, being grateful and generous with our gifts, puts us on the path to holiness and is an example for others to be holy, too.   We are responsible not only for our own lives, but for the lives of others as well.
