“Parish facilities are built with parishioners’ money, but in a truer sense they are built with what belongs to God, the tithe of good stewards. They are gifts to be treated with respect and care, as one would care for his or her own house-or better yet, as one would care for someone else’s home. The vast majority of Catholics enjoy worship and parish life in facilities they did not pay for. Even if at present we happen to be members of a new or expanding parish and have contributed to a building campaign, we were handed down from past generations. We all enjoy the fruit of the blood, sweat, tears, and generosity of our forebears; and we have a responsibility to hand on to future generations the fruit of our generosity. In doing so, we are only acknowledging that everything comes from the hand of God and belongs to him. An ancient Hebrew insight teaches that almsgiving restores God’s right order in the world, for through it we use His gifts according to His plan. The proper understanding of stewardship reminds me that even those things I “own” are ultimately not truly mine but gifts from God to be shared. The great Rabbi Abraham Heschel once wrote, “What we own, we owe.” A tithe- a gift to ones church is merely a response to God’s generosity, recognition that the standard for giving is set by Him who holds back nothing from us. As St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “What do you posses that you have not received? But if you have received it, why are you boasting as if you did not receive it?” (I Cor. 4:7). We humbly do well to take a gauge of our stewardship: the way we treat personal property and the property of others; the gratitude we show for the privilege of having parish facilities at our disposal; the strings-the control—we some-times attach to our financial stewardship, as if we have bought something rather than made a gift; the initiative we take in maintaining parish facilities, whether or not we were the ones who dirtied them; and the humility with which we acknowledge God as the giver of everything. (From: A Journey to the Heart of Jesus by Archbishop J. Peter Sartain)
