What is Stewardship?
#2 Prayerful: Sees entire day as
an opportunity to be in the presence
of God.
In the bulletin of October 2 we published a listing
of six characteristics of an everyday steward.
This week let’s talk about #2, Prayerful.
An everyday steward sees the entire day as an
opportunity to be in the presence of God.
How often do you pray? Is prayer an all-day
habit? You don’t have to always say formal
prayers such as the Our Father or Hail Mary.
A few words of thanks giving and praise or a
cry for help, though informal, are just as worthy
a prayer. It’s easy to get into the prayer habit.
There are thousands of opportunities every day.
Don’t miss out on your chance to talk to God
often. Thank you God for giving m e the w ord s
for this message.

Vatican II provides a map to
help us enrich our lives through faith and
effectively experience the good news of God’s
divine mercy.
