Stewardship as a Way of Life
-
As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”1 Peter 4:10
“The greatest gift we have all received is our faith, the gift of our salvation in Christ present here and now, and alive in His body the Church. Our parish exists as part of Christ’s body and our goal does not consist in any human program.It is Christ’s mission of salvation towards the world as the Son of God.”
What is Stewardship?Stewardship is a way that leads us to a deeper relationship with God. We are not our own, we belong to God our loving father. He gives us everything we need. Stewardship answers the ”need to give to God, not giving to a need” as a way to live a Christ-like life. We learn to offer him our prayers, time and talent, and treasure in gratitude and fulfillment.

Stewardship of Prayer
“This power, the grace of the Spirit, is not something we can merit or achieve, but only receive as pure gift. God’s love can only unleash its power when it is allowed to change us from within. We have to let it break through the hard crust of our indifference, our spiritual weariness, our blind conformity to the spirit of this age. Only then can we let it ignite our imagination and shape our deepest desires. That is why prayer is so important: daily prayer, private prayer in the quiet of our hearts and before the Blessed Sacrament, and liturgical prayer in the heart of the Church. Prayer is pure receptivity to God’s grace, love in action, communion with the Spirit who dwells within us, leading us, through Jesus, in the Church, to our heavenly Father. In the power of his Spirit, Jesus is always present in our hearts, quietly waiting for us to be still with him, to hear his voice, to abide in his love, and to receive “power from on high,” enabling us to be salt and light for our world.” (Benedict XVI, July 20, 2008)
Throughout the month of September, we learn about Stewardship of Prayer. We explore the importance of an active prayer life and the many prayerful opportunities to enhance or begin your Stewardship of Prayer. We also have an opportunity to make a commitment of prayer.

This Week's Prayer Intention: The Church of St. Peter and its Parishioners
Prayer to Mary by Fr. de Grandmaison
Holy Mary, Mother of God, preserve in me a heart of a child, pure and clean like spring water;
a simple heart that does not remain absorbed in its own sadness;
a loving heart that freely gives with compassion;
a faithful and generous heart that neither forgets good nor feels bitterness for any evil.
Give me a sweet and humble heart that loves without asking to be loved in return, happy
to lose itself in the heart of others, sacrificing itself in front of your Divine Son;
a great and unconquerable heart, which no ingratitude can close and no indifference can tire;
a heart tormented by the glory of Christ, pierced by his love with a wound that will not heal until heaven.
Amen

Why do we dare to continue with you the Stewardship as a Way of Life in this uncertain New Year at the Church of St. Peter?
We humbly dare to continue the Stewardship as a Way of Life at the Church of St. Peter, because of the willingness to abandon the old, what is behind us, and begin to desire to be created again by the power of God’s Holy Spirit within the Church.Read More
