Why give?

As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace(1 Pt 4:10).

"What identifies a steward? Safeguarding material and human resources and using them responsibly are one answer; so is generous giving of time, talent, and treasure.  But being a Christian steward means more. As Christian stewards, we receive God's gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice with others, and return them with increase to the Lord." -USCCB on Stewardship
