St. Stephen Parish Stewardship Prayer

Heavenly Father, You are the giver of all
that is good. Forgive us for the times we
have missed the gifts and talents You
have entrusted to us.

Jesus, the example of Your life and death
teaches us that selfless love motivates true
sacrificial giving. Encourage a boundless
love in our hearts.

Holy Spirit, help us to recognize
opportunities that will enable us to
respond generously to the call of
stewardship in proportion to the gifts and
talents we have received.

Mary and Joseph, models of obedience and
charity, intercede for us as we pray to
discern God's will in our lives. Teach us to
trust that His kindness and mercy are all
that we really need to cling to.

St. Stephen, our patron and protector,
Pray for us.
