Growing in Christ and sharing his blessings

Each one of us is called to be a disciple of Christ. However, to be a disciple we must build a relationship with Christ. As one focuses on this relationship, the practice of stewardship naturally follows.

“We strive to grow closer to Christ as we serve one another in all our ministries in the parish,” says parishioner Socorro Deguzman of St. Jude Church in Kapolei. “However, we can see that there is so much more we can do to bring others to Christ. But I think God wants us first to grow closer to him. Then we can bring others to love God as well.”

St. Teresa of Avila remarked, “Christ has no body but yours, no hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes with which he looks compassionately on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world.”
