Stewardship: A Grateful Response to God’s Love

A few years ago, I attended a Stewardship Conference presented by the Diocese of Wichita, Kansas. These four pillars stewardship were explored: HOSPITALITY, PRAYER, FORMATION AND SERVICE.  Every parishioner is invited to experience, witness and live the stewardship way of life in response to their baptismal call to discipleship. Individually, each baptized person is called to give of time, talent and treasure to strengthen these four pillars that support the parish community.

God reveals his perfect and infinite love for us most visibly in his son, Jesus Christ. A steward makes god’s love visible by imitating Jesus. As the United States bishops wrote in their pastoral letter, stewardship is the response of the disciple to god’s unconditional love for us. Stewards bask in the wonder and awe of God’s love. The more deeply one grows in love for God, the more one grows in heart to see stewardship as a way of life, a way of love, imitating god’s love for us. Stewards see everything good as gifts received from God and they respond in gratitude with the gift of self.

The sacrament of baptism calls Christians to a lifelong vocation of discipleship as children of god made in his image and likeness. Strengthened by the holy spirit, we are called as disciples to follow Jesus to grow in holiness by the graces god showers upon us. As recipients of god’s loving grace, our hearts leap with gratitude. “How can I repay the Lord for all the good He has done for me?” (Psalm 116:12).

Soon we will celebrate Thanksgiving Day, a time when we express gratitude for all the gifts God has given us. During this fall season of harvest, I invite everyone to answer the question the psalmist presents to us: “How can I repay the Lord for all the good He has done for me?” In doing so please consider your commitment to being good stewards of God’s gracious love to you and be willing to share that love with others.

PESCANDO CON ST. JAMES

Corresponsabilidad: Una Respuesta de Agradecimiento al Amor de Dios

Hace unos años asistí a una Conferencia de Corresponsabilidad presentada por la Diócesis de Wichita, Kansas. Se exploraron estos cuatro pilares de la administración: HOSPITALIDAD, ORACIÓN, FORMACIÓN Y SERVICIO.  Cada feligrese está invitado a experimentar, testificar y vivir el estilo de vida de corresponsabilidad en respuesta a su llamado bautismal al discipulado. Individualmente, cada bautizado está llamado a donar tiempo, talento y tesoro para fortalecer estos cuatro pilares que sostienen a la comunidad parroquial.

Dios revela su amor perfecto e infinito por nosotros de manera más visible en su hijo Jesucristo. Un corresponsable hace visible el amor de Dios imitando a Jesús. Como escribieron los obispos de los Estados Unidos en su carta pastoral, la corresponsabilidad es la respuesta del discípulo al amor incondicional de Dios por nosotros. Los corresponsables disfrutan del asombro y el asombro del amor de Dios. Cuanto más profundamente uno crece en el amor por Dios, más crece uno en su corazón para ver la mayordomía como una forma de vida, una forma de amor, imitando el amor de Dios por nosotros. Los mayordomos ven todo lo bueno como regalos recibidos de Dios y responden con gratitud con el don de sí mismos.

El sacramento del bautismo llama a los cristianos a una vocación de discipulado de por vida como hijos de Dios hechos a su imagen y semejanza. Fortalecidos por el espíritu santo, somos llamados como discípulos a seguir a Jesús para crecer en santidad por las gracias que Dios derrama sobre nosotros. Como receptores de la amorosa gracia de Dios, nuestros corazones saltan de gratitud. “¿Cómo le devolveré al Señor todo el bien que me ha hecho?” (Salmo 116:12).

Pronto celebraremos el Día de Acción de Gracias, un momento en el que expresamos gratitud por todos los regalos que Dios nos ha dado. Durante esta temporada de cosecha de otoño, invito a todos a responder la pregunta que nos presenta el salmista: “¿Cómo le devolveré al Señor todo el bien que me ha hecho?” Al hacerlo, considere su compromiso de ser buenos administradores del amor misericordioso de Dios hacia usted y esté dispuesto a compartir ese amor con los demás.
