Focus on Stewardship

"Love one another as I have loved you...I have chosen you to go forth and bear much fruit."
(John 15:12,16)

Ember Days

The First Fridays of Autumn and Spring (March and September) are special days of prayer and penance, focusing on the environment, the seasons and God's providence, by offering prayers of thanks and for needs of all people, especially for the productivity of the earth and for human labour.

Lord God, you are indeed the loving Father who provides us with food for body and spirit.

Make our work fruitful and give us a rich harvest.  Help us bring you glory by using well the good things we receive from you.

All-powerful Father, God of goodness, you provide for all your creation.  Give us an effective love for our brothers and sisters who suffer from lack of food. 

Help us do all we can to relieve their hunger, that they may serve you with carefree hearts. 

Amen.
