Prayer

rcp-pillar“Have no anxiety at all, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving make your request be known to God.”
Philippians 4:6

Prayer and the sacraments dispose a soul to receive God’s abundant graces, which are necessary to  grow in holiness. It is through prayer that we nurture our personal relationship with Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Prayer increases our yearning to receive the source and  summit of our Catholic faith, the Eucharist. As a parish family, we gather together to worship and praise God in the Mass. Nourished by the Word of God and the Eucharist, we are strengthened as a parish family to go and to serve the Lord. Stewardship is a lived response of the disciple to follow this command.

There is a deep connection between the Eucharistic celebration and stewardship. In one of the prefaces of the Eucharistic prayers it says, “Lord, our desire to thank you is itself your gift.” The Third Eucharistic Prayer states, “All life, all holiness comes from you through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, by the working of the Holy Spirit… And so, Father, we bring you these gifts. We ask you to make them holy by the power of your Spirit, that they may become the body and blood of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, at whose command we celebrate this Eucharist.”  

All we are and seek to become is strengthened and becomes more perfect through the Eucharist. It is in the Eucharist where we again recognize our total dependence upon God for everything. All that is good is a gift from Him. It is not that we have loved Him, but that He first has loved us by giving His Son.

In both our personal and communal prayer, we turn toward  God to discern properly our talents and gifts. In a steward’s response, we place those gifts at the service of God and one another.  At the  heart of the  steward’s prayer is the petition, “Thy Will be done.”
