Stewardship - Trinity Sunday - 2008 |
|
My dear people I greet you on this Trinity Sunday, praying that God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit will fill you with life, hope and courage for your life’s journey. On this weekend, I would like to formally launch our Year of Stewardship which I believe is a personal call to each one of us to welcome God’s gifts, to develop them and to use them to support one another. Stewardship offers a new focus on what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, to take Him as a role model, and to find happiness and fulfilment in living for others. The surest way to a miserable life is to live just for one’s self; the surest way to experience real peace, is to offer our lives in service to all. As this year unfolds, I hope that the joy of sharing our treasures for God and with others, will emerge. I ask you to pray the Stewardship Prayer each day at midday and to accept this weekend, a simple brochure outlining a little further the value of Stewardship in our own lives, as it draws us closer to the Lord. God bless you with peace and may we find in a world of confused values, the light of Christ and the power of the Spirit. Yours sincerely Trinity Sunday 2008
