Almighty and ever faithful Lord,
gratefully acknowledging your Divine Mercy
and humbly admitting our need,
we pledge our trust in you and each other.
Filled with desire,
we respond to your call for discipleship
by shaping our lives in imitation of Christ.
We profess that the call requires us to be stewards
of your gifts.
As stewards, we receive your gifts gratefully,
cherish and tend them in a responsible manner,
share them in practice and love with others,
and return them with increase to the Lord.
We pledge to our ongoing formation as stewards
and our responsibility to call others to the same
endeavor.
Almighty and ever faithful God,
it is our hope and prayer that you have begun this good
work in us
and will bring it to fulfllment in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Love, Deacon John
