The Archdiocese of New Orleans has made many efforts to explain the concept of stewardship to Catholics. Can you talk about what stewardship is?
When most people think of stewardship, they often think solely of financial giving. While financial giving is one aspect of stewardship, it is not the primary meaning of stewardship. Stewardship really is an attitude toward life. It is recognizing the gifts that God has given to us, and, in gratitude to God for those gifts, we give back to God in many ways. Stewardship is a way of thinking and expressing thanks. All we receive is a gift from God, and our gift back to God requires ongoing prayerful discernment of what God is calling us to share with others and his church.
