Stewardship Prayer

Almighty and ever-faithful Lord,
gratefully acknowledging Your mercy
and humbly admitting our need,
we pledge our trust in You and each other.

Filled with desire,
we respond to Your call for discipleship
by shaping our lives in imitation of Christ.
We profess that the call requires us
to be stewards of Your gifts.
As stewards, we receive Your gifts gratefully,
cherish and tend them in a responsible manner,
share them in practice and love with others,
and return them with increase to the Lord.

We pledge to our ongoing formation as stewards
and our responsibility to call others to that same endeavor.
Almighty and ever-faithful God,
it is our fervent hope and prayer
that You who have begun this good work in us
will bring it to fulfillment in Jesus Christ,
our Lord. Amen

Catholic Daily Prayer of the Day and Readings for Tuesday 19 April 2022 || Gospel – John 20:11-18

¹¹ But Mary was standing outside near the tomb, weeping. Then, as she wept, she stooped to look inside,

¹² and saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head, the other at the feet.

¹³ They said, ‘Woman, why are you weeping?’ ‘They have taken my Lord away,’ she replied, ‘and I don’t know where they have put him.’

¹⁴ As she said this she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not realise that it was Jesus.

¹⁵ Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?’ Supposing him to be the gardener, she said, ‘Sir, if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and remove him.’

¹⁶ Jesus said, ‘Mary!’ She turned round then and said to him in Hebrew, ‘Rabbuni!’ — which means Master.

¹⁷ Jesus said to her, ‘Do not cling to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to the brothers, and tell them: I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’

¹⁸ So Mary of Magdala told the disciples, ‘I have seen the Lord,’ and that he had said these things to her.
