“Almighty God, we thank you for all

the gifts You have given us; our loved

ones, all that we have and all that we

are. Most of all, we thank You for Jesus, your Son and our

Redeemer, who came among us to show us the way to

eternal life. Jesus was the perfect steward of your gifts,

showing that complete trust in You is necessary, and that

giving of self is a most important part of following Him.

May the offerings of our time, our talents, and our material

resources be made in the same spirit of sacrifice that Jesus

taught us by His life and death for us. Amen.
