Creator God,
\nLife is your gift to me. Through Baptism, you invite me to share the gift of my life in service to others. Be with me as I choose each day to show your Presence in our world. Give me the courage and generosity to respond to your love, to your call.
\nI pray especially for those who serve you in ministry throughout the parishes of this Diocese.
\nMay we bring the Good News to those in need. Keep us close to you.
\nOpen the minds and hearts of many others — men, women, and young people — that they may accept your challenge to build the Kingdom in our parishes.
\nWe ask this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.<\/p>\n
Generous God,
\nI give thanks to you for the gifts you have given me -my life, my family, my friends – time, talents, and material possessions. All that I have comes from you. Help me to remember this and rejoice in your goodness.
\nWalk with me, my God. Help me on my spiritual journey, so that I may constantly renew my relationship with you and all the good people in our parish and beyond.
\nRenew in me your Spirit. Give me the strength and courage to become a better follower of Jesus, to be a disciple. Help me hear the call to “Come, Follow Me.”
\nI give glory to you, my God, as I make stewardship a way of life. Amen.<\/p>\n
Creator God,
\nAt Baptism, we accepted the call to follow Jesus.
\nBe with us as we move along on our faith journey.
\nSend us Your Holy Spirit, that we might have wisdom for the journey.
\nHelp us to develop and share our gifts as good stewards, that we may use them in love and service in your Kingdom.
\nWe ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.<\/p>\n
Oh Lord, giver of life and source of our freedom, we are reminded by the Psalmist that Yours is \u201cthe earth and its fullness; the world and those who dwell in it.\u201d
\nWe know that it is from your hand that we have received all we have, and are, and will be. Gracious and loving God, we understand that You call us to be the stewards of Your abundance, the caretakers of all You have entrusted to us.
\nHelp us always to use Your gifts wisely and teach us to share them generously. May our faithful stewardship bear witness to the love of Christ in our lives. We pray with grateful hearts, in Jesus\u2019 name. Amen<\/p>\n
Lord God,
\nYou alone are the source of every gift, of the vast array of our universe, and of the mystery of each human life. We praise You and we thank You for Your great power and Your tender, faithful Love.
\nEverything we are and everything we have is Your gift, and after having created us, You have given us into the keeping of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
\nFill our hearts with Christ\u2019s truth and our hearts with His love, that in His Spirit we may be bonded together into a community of faith, a parish family, a caring people.
\nIn the Name and Spirit of Jesus, we commit ourselves to be good stewards of the gifts entrusted to us, to share our time, our talent and our material gifts as an outward sign of the treasure we hold in Jesus. Amen.<\/p>\n
God, Creator and Giver of all that is good, we thank you for our many blessings. Mindful of your generosity, we acknowledge that all that we have is from you. Daily, we offer you thanks and praise for the beauty of the earth, our work, our family and our loved ones.
\nIn the dawning of a new day, You are with us. In each dark hour, You are here. Blessed by Your grace, we show gratitude by sharing what we have. By serving our brothers and sisters, we serve You.
\nAs You protect and guide us on our journey, we, Your stewards, remain ever grateful for Your constant love.
\nAmen<\/p>\n
Life is Your Gift

\nIf not here, where?
\nIf not now, when?
\nIf not for Your Kingdom, why?
