God,

Loving Creator and Source of all that we have,

thank you for the many gifts you have given your people,

our parishes and the Diocese of Beaumont.

Grant us the spirit of true Christian Stewardship so we may carry out Your Mission.

Open our minds to the Gospel Message.

Open our hearts to conversion.

Open our hands that we might freely share the gifts you have bestowed upon us.

May sorrow, conflict and poverty be diminished in our Diocese because we have responded in Christ-like love and generosity.

Gracious God, send us your Spirit to accompany us on our Journey to Stewardship.

We ask this in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Amen.
