The US Bishops Pastoral Letter on Stewardship tells us that a steward is one who receives God’s gifts gratefully, cultivates them responsibly, shares them lovingly and in justice, and returns them
with increase to the Lord. These 4 attributes of a steward match up with 4 areas of focus for both individual Catholics and the parish:
We receive God’s gifts gratefully through prayer and worship focused on thanksgiving;
We cultivate them responsibly through formation and education focused on learning more about stewardship and how to be better stewards;
We share our gifts lovingly and in justice when we share them with others especially the less fortunate;
And we can return them with increase to the Lord by giving adequately to the Lord’s instrument here on earth, our Church.
