Stewardship Devotional: Week #3

(For the full handout, click here)

Stewardship is the grateful response of a Christian disciple
who recognizes, receives and cultivates God’s gifts
and generously shares these gifts in love of God and neighbor.

Steward's Identity: Sewing & Reaping

Reading: “The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and
whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully” (2 CORINTHIANS 9:6)

Reflection: What seeds will I sow today?

Lord, thank you for your promise to me that, as I faithfully sow my gifts and
resources, you will bless my efforts. Help me to remember always that you are the source of all
good things. Forgive me when I fail to show my gratitude for who you are and all that you do
for me. In Jesus’ holy name I pray. Amen.

Steward's Purpose: Go & Bear Fruit

Reading: “I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever remains in Me and I
in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.” (JOHN 15:5)

Reflection: Is my life bearing fruit? How can I tell?

Lord, help me to bear much fruit in your name. Amen.

Steward's Lifestyle: Not in Vain

Reading: “Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain” (2 CORINTHIANS 6:1)

Reflection: How can my life reflect that Christ’s sacrifice was not in vain?

Dear heavenly Father, help me to receive your gifts and use them in my work. In Jesus’
precious name I pray. Amen.

What if....

"... I am unbaptized but want to grow spiritually in my life."

"... I have a different faith background but want to learn
what Catholics believe and why."

"... I am a baptized Catholic but never made my First Holy
Communion and/or Confirmation."

..... we would love to assist you in your faith journey through an exciting and deeply enriching process in the Catholic Church called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.). RCIA is for those who are seeking a better relationship with God, who are looking for more information about Catholic Christianity, or who are seeking to grow in their spiritual or Sacramental life. The RCIA process welcomes the unbaptized person to the family of Jesus Christ. Sessions are informal and comfortable opportunities to explore the Catholic faith with presentations, discussions, and fellowship.

Explore the faith without obligation & contact Rev. Juan Gonzalez to learn more!
