Stewardship

A Way of Life

Stewardship Reflection

In today’s readings, we learn a lesson about being humble. Being a humble steward for God pleases Him. “My child, conduct your affairs with humility, and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts.”

Living Stewardship

In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells us to give without expecting a return. Many times when we do things for others, we want to be congratulated for it and recognized. However, we should not worry about that but do good for others knowing that God sees it all.
