The Real Presence
February 2, 2024
Why were you created? Why do you exist? What is your purpose? Sound the crickets…
“As each has received a gift, employ it for one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” (I Peter 4:10)
“There are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit, there are varieties of services, but the same Lord, there are
varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates them in everyone.” I Corinthians 12:4-6
“Christian Stewards receive God’s gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice
with others, & return them with increase to the Lord… A Christian steward models the life of Jesus… God gives
us this divine-human workshop… The Spirit shows us the way.” U.S. Catholic Catechism: 450-4, 527
“What we are is God’s gift to us.” What we make of those gifts is Stewardship! Did you bury your talents or use
them? There is no time limit, Abraham and the Apostle John fulfilled their purpose in their nineties.
