REFLECTION
Today’s readings challenge us to focus on the “why”
of stewardship.
Why embrace this challenging
way of life when it seems hard
enough just to meet the
demands of our daily lives and
responsibilities? Because this
life is not all there is. While we cannot earn our way
into Heaven, what we do now with the life God has
given us has eternal consequences. Stewardship
living helps us to keep focused on our hoped-for
destination in the choices we make each day.
In our Gospel passage from Luke, Christ reminds us
we were made for more than just this life, and our
choices have eternal consequences. In this passage
our Lord corrects some Saducees for their mistaken
notion that there is no resurrection. He instructs that
“those who are deemed worthy to attain to the com-
ing age and to the resurrection of the dead… can no
longer die, for they are like angels; and they are the
children of God because they are the ones who will
rise.
Stewardship is not about the particular amount or
kind of time, talent and treasure that we offer. It is
about the conviction that everything we have is a
gift from our loving God. Revisiting these three
aspects of our lives on a regular basis, prayerfully
discerning the best use of our gifts, and putting this
down in writing clarifies and strengthens our
conviction to put God first.
That is the “why” of stewardship.
