Stewardship Prayer

Thank you, Lord
For all the beautiful and wonderful things we
experience in our life;

for the beauty of the earth and its amazing colors;
for crisp autumn mornings and sparkling winter nights;
for mountains and forests, rivers and seashores.

Thank you, Lord
For all the beautiful and wonderful things we
experience in our life;

for the water that cleanses, the clothes that bring
warmth, the food that nourishes and the home that
gives comfort.

Thank you, Lord
For all the beautiful and wonderful things we
experience in our life;

for those who love us and care for us; for those who
value us for who we are;
for those we call family, friends, neighbors.

Thank you, Lord
For all the beautiful and wonderful things we
experience in our life;

for the gift of Christ, your son;
for his life, his gospel, his cross, and his Church;
for his Eucharistic meal
and the promise to be with us always.

Thank you, Lord
For all the beautiful and wonderful things we
experience in our life;

for the time you’ve allotted us, the life you’ve offered us,
the opportunities you’ve afforded us, and the miracles
you’ve worked for us.

Thank you, Lord
For all the beautiful and wonderful things we
experience in our life;

and for your infinite love that meets our daily needs.
May our love, too, be known for its abundance,
its readiness to bless and heal,
to offer peace and promote justice,
and to serve in Jesus’ name.

Amen.
