Stewardship as a Way of Life

“Be doers of the word and not hearers only…” -

James 1:22
What do you do to live God’s word? Do you share time and talent with your parish or those in need? Do you support the work of the Church with the fruits from your own work?

“Work is a fulfilling human vocation. The Second Vatican Council points out that, through work, we build up not only our world but the Kingdom of God already present among us. Work is a partnership with God. It occupies a central place in our lives as Christian stewards.”
