Stewardship Prayer
Dear Lord,
Your presence at the Eucharistic Table is truly the source and summit of our faith.
And in the breaking of the bread your presence is meant to impel us to reach beyond our immediate gathering and unify us with the larger gathering of our sisters and brothers around the globe.
If we can recognize you in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, we must also be able to recognize you among those who hunger and suffer in the world.
But if our faith in your presence under the appearance of bread and wine does not translate into action, we are still unbelievers.
Deepen our faith, make us good stewards of your Eucharistic presence and help us to bear fruit in the lives of those we encounter, especially those most in need of your love and compassion.
Amen.
