Everyday Thoughts on StewardshiP ..... lAugust 30, 2015 - 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

"Every worthwhile gift, every genuine benefit, comes from above" says St. lames in the second reading.

But, he reminds us, true worship of God involves using those good gifts to benefit the less fortunate. A

steward is one who looks after the property of his master. The steward's job is to care for the property,

manage it and invest its resources wisely. It is a job which involves trust and responsibility.

Good stewardship is not optional; it is the hallmark of our faith!"
