Pope Francis on Stewardship
To an audience on April 24, 2013

“In this period of crisis today, it is important not to turn in
on ourselves, burying our own talent, our spiritual,
intellectual, and material riches, everything that the Lord
has given us; but, rather to open ourselves, to be
supportive, to be attentive to others.

Set your stakes on great ideals, the ideals that enlarge the
heart, the ideals of service that make your talents fruitful.
Life is not given to us to be jealously guarded for
ourselves, but is given to us so that we may
give it in turn.”

Stewardship: Sharing Our Gifts

"A Christian steward receives God's gifts gracefully, cherishes and tends them in a responsible and accountable manner, shares them in justice and love with others, and returns them with increase to the Lord."
