Stewardship: All Encompassing
Examples of the works, services, and ministries of the good steward enumerated in the stewardship letter include the following:
• Evangelization and witness to the Gospel
• Catechesis and faith formation
• Parent stewardship of the domestic church
• Stewardship of simplicity of life
• Stewardship for ecology of the globe
• Lay witness in the marketplace and institutions
• Financial accountability in personal and parochial affairs
• Stewardship of collegiality and collaboration in parish life and ministries
• Stewardship of social justice and the work for peace
Stewardship, then, is all-encompassing. It provides a place for the simplest individual gesture of kindness as well as stewardship communities working for systemic justice and peace. Stewardship flowing from a personal and communal relationship to Christ holds a particular attraction to people. It is, ultimately, the pull and the power of the Gospel come alive in our times and circumstances.
