THE STEWARDSHIP "TAG"
Every gift given to you by God has a "TAG" with YOUR NAME on it! God wants you to be THANKFUL for all that he has given to you. God wants you to be ACCOUNTABLE in using your gifts in good and responsible ways. God wants you to be GENEROUS in sharing your time, talent, and treasure. "THE GIFT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN, GIVE AS A GIFT." (Matthew 10:8)

THOUGHTS ON STEWARDSHIP
It is often hard to see our misfortunes as blessings from a loving God. Yet, like Paul, we must see our misfortunes as gifts that remind us to rely on God for everything we have.
Choose Life Prayer - We pray that God may touch the hearts and open the eyes of those who perform abortions so they may truly understand what they are doing.
Vocation View - Look with new eyes at the people in around you. Whose son or daughter has the capacity to serve God's people as a priest, brother, or sister? Invite them!
