Prayer, Participation, Generosity: Making Commitments to the Lord Stewardship is a commitment of mind and heart to the Lord; a way of life that needs constant renewal and transformation. Perhaps those who seek to make resolutions to be better stewards might find inspiration in one or more of the following examples: Stewardship of Prayer: Resolve to strengthen your relationship with the Lord through prayer. Notice how often you pray and what hinders you from praying. If you are a beginner, commit to short, daily prayer times. Prayer form Stewardship of Participation: Resolve to be a person of hospitality and mercy. Challenge yourself to perform two spiritual or corporal acts of mercy each month . Make time and space for others who enter your life. Be more aware of those times when a neighbor, co-worker, fellow parishioner or stranger, needs a moment of kindness, a little attention or an affirming gesture on your part. Resolve to serve your faith community in some way this year such as at liturgy, in the parish’s outreach or education and formation efforts Stewardship of Generosity: Resolve to be generous with all our gifts (prayer, participation and generosity), not just the ones we choose. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus challenged us to give as it has been given to us. Aware of our tremendous blessings, we strive to give generously to support the building up of God’s kingdom. One way to do this is to reprioritize your financial goals to ensure that the Lord comes first in your spending.
