The Holy Mother of God Stewards Listen: “And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.” LUKE 2:19 Mary is the perfect role model for living a Stewardship lifestyle. She listened to God and said “yes” to His invitation to be the Holy Mother of His son. She also trusted in the God’s providence on a daily basis. As we start a new year, take time every day to listen to how God is calling you; trust that He has a better plan for you than you could ever imagine.
