Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, reminds us that, “as it expands, goodness takes root and develops. If we wish to lead a dignified and fulfilling life, we have to reach out to others and seek their good” (Evangelii Gaudium, 9). Reaching out to others is an integral part of being a good steward of the gifts God has given to us. By reaching out to others in our families, parishes, communities and local Churches, we actually show in a tangible way how we return God’s gifts back to Him with our gratitude. Rob Faughnan |

Stewardship Prayer for March
God of mercy,
You have given us this special time to reflect on our lives,
embrace the Good News
and draw closer to You.
During this season of Lent
help us use this time to fast and pray,
be more generous
and show others how to live in Christ.
Let us see each day of this season as a new opportunity to renew our lives
and gain a deeper appreciation of Your active presence in our hearts and our community of faith.
Give us the grace to see Your face in others,
especially the poor and those who suffer.
And through your Spirit, enkindle in us the fire of Your love so that we may be better stewards of Your redeeming work throughout the world.
We ask this through Jesus, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever.
