A
Christian Steward receives God’s gifts gratefully, cherishes
and tends them in a responsible and accountable manner, shares them
in justice and love with others, and returns them with increase
to the Lord.
The
Christian vocation is essentially a call to be a disciple of Jesus.
Stewardship is part of that. Christians are called to be good stewards
of the personal vocations they receive. Each of us must discern,
accept, and live out joyfully and generously the commitments, responsibilities,
and roles to which God calls us.
Becoming
a disciple of Jesus Christ leads naturally to the practice of stewardship.
These linked realities, discipleship and stewardship, make up the
fabric of a Christian life in which each day is lived in an intimate,
personal relationship with the Lord.
Catholics
have a duty to be stewards of their Church; that community of Disciples,
that Body of Christ of which they, individually and together, are
the members, and in which "if one part suffers, all the parts
suffer with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its
joy". 1
Cor. 12:26)
