Eric McArdle: A Stewardship Prayer
We often get requests from parishes for short prayers to incorporate at the end of the Prayers of the Faithful, and we think this is a good practice. Listed below is an example of a stewardship prayer you could use as-is or adjust as you see fit for your own parish.
Lord, hear our prayer as we seek to be good stewards of the many gifts you have given to us. Give us wisdom to discern Your will for us, strength to meet the challenge, and the grace to remain committed to You. Help us to use our Time, Talent, and Treasure for Your greater honor and glory. In your name we pray. Amen.
Msgr. Thomas McGread: Stewardship Prayer
Stewardship Prayer
Lord, You alone are the source of every good gift,
of the vast array of our universe,
and the mystery of each human life.
We praise You and we thank You
for Your great power and your tender, faithful LOVE.
Everything we are and everything we have is Your gift,
and after having created us,
You have given us into the keeping of Your Son,
JESUS CHRIST.
Fill our minds with His truth
And our hearts with His love,
that in His Spirit
we may be bonded together into a community
of faithful, caring people.
In the Name and Spirit of Jesus,
we commit ourselves to be good stewards
of the gifts entrusted to us,
to share our time, our talent
and our material gifts as an outward sign
of the Treasure we hold in Jesus.
Amen
