STEWARDSHIP A DISCIPLE’S RESPONSE

STEWARDSHIP IS Not a programme it is a way of life Not an activity it is an attitude Not the latest fad it is biblically based Not a way to raise money it is a way to attain holiness Not just a decision of the head it requires a conversion of the heart Not a programme it is a way of life Not an activity it is an attitude Not the latest fad it is biblically based Not a way to raise money it is a way to attain holiness Not just a decision of the head it requires a conversion of the heart

Stewards of Vocation Jesus calls us, his disciples, to a new way of life - the Christian way of life- of which stewardship is part. But Jesus does not call us as nameless people in a faceless crowd. He calls us individually, by name. Each one of us - clergy, religious, lay person; married, single; adult, child - has a personal vocation. God intends each one of us to play a unique role in carrying out the divine plan. The challenge is to understand our role- our vocation- and to respond generously to this call from God. SDR.
