To be a disciple is a living commitment to be Christ-centered rather than self-centered. We show our thanks to Him for all He has given us by living a life of gratitude and love. All we have is part of His divine plan for us, and we are intended to use it in service of Him and others.

Our gifts of time, talent, and treasure are meant to build the Church and make our world a better place. We are asked to responsibly manage our God-given resources here on Earth so that, ultimately, we may have our greatest gifts at our eternal reward.

God's generosity will never be outdone by our own.

God has chosen each of us to go out into the world and do good. As Christian Catholics, we are called to have a conversion of heart, to:

• Be followers of Christ through word and deed.
• Commit ourselves to the Lord as an entire way of life.
• Be caretakers of God's many gifts, grateful for what we have and eager to share them out of love for God and others.

What return have you made to God for all He has given you?
