My church is composed of people like me.
I help make it what it is.
It will be friendly, if I am.
It will be holy, if I am.
Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.
It will do great work, if I work.
It will be prayerful, if I pray.
It will make generous gifts to many causes,
if I am a generous giver.
It will bring others into its worship,
if I invite and bring them.
It will be a church of loyalty and love, of
fearlessness and faith, of compassion,charity,
and mercy, if I who make it what it is, am filled
with these same things.
Therefore, with the help of God, I now dedicate
myself to the task of being all the things that I
want my church to be.Adopted from the stewardship prayer of the Diocese of San Diago
