stewardship…

St. John the Baptist was chosen to be ‘the prophet of the Most High God’. (Luke 1.76) As baptized Christians we too are called to be prophets. What has this got to do with stewardship? If we are to be prophetic then we must, by the example of our lives and the witness of our speech, be good stewards of the Gospel message and share it.
