Living Your Strengths
-
Stewardship of Talent
Harness the power of your innate gifts and live a heroic life using your gifts as God intended.As Catholics, we rely on the Word of God and live it out in His Church through the sacraments. The gift of His grace is offered to us with a challenge: Can we harness our own gifts and talents as individuals and as a community to make the “good news” live in our hearts and in our community?
We are all trying to decipher the meaning of the mystery “Who am I really?”The gifts that God has given to you He has given to no other -
you are unique in the entire universe.Living Your Strengths (LYS) sets a foundation for growth based upon an assessment of one’s God-given talents and helps identify how to live God’s plan for your life. By accepting the gifts of God you will lead a life of right decisions, peace of mind and harmony with others in your life.
LYS helps you to understand what God has given you by the grace in which you have been born and baptized, and to identify your role in energizing and shaping the Church.Do you ever ask yourself:- What am I to do next?
- Why did I react that way?
- Why do I love doing some things and avoid doing others?
- Do you feel disconnected from your Church lately?
- Do you struggle with what God’s plan for your life is?
- Are you a passionate parishioner who wants to become even more involved and be an inspiration to others?
