The ABCs of Stewardship (Cont’d) By Mary Catherine Stewart, O.P.

D is for Discernment. Discernment implies total honesty. How much of my Ɵme, treasure and talent can I give? Can I give 10% of my earnings? Can I give 10% of my Ɵme to volunteer? Can I give 10% of my talents? Some of us can give more and some of us can give less but in the discernment process I need to look at where my values are. To help me in this process, I took a week and wrote down, how I spent my waking hours—I found that I had “wasted” some Ɵme that could easily be given to volunteering. I looked at my expenses for a month and found that there were things that I really didn’t need that I had bought and this money could go to a charity. The challenge I find is to be totally honest in the discernment process.
