Stewardship Prayer
Dear Lord,
Teach me to be generous as You have been generous with me.
Teach me that all that I am and have are gifts from You,
and that these gift are meant to be shared.
Reveal to me the joys of generousity. Help me to understand
that others, perhaps unknown to me, depend on my assistance.
Keep me ever mindful that as Your disciple, I am called to be a "Good Samaritan" and to share the"Good News" with the world.
Make me a gift to others in Your name.
Amen
The Good Samaritan
