Discipleship

Stewardship may also be thought of as a component of discipleship.
A helpful metaphor is to think of discipleship as a gem with stewardship being but one facet of that gem.

The Christian disciple is not only called to be a good steward of the gifts God has given. He/she is also called to personal holiness, to evangelization, to lifelong learning, to the sacramental life, and to prayer, service, and sacrifice—all facets of the gem. We are privileged to have access to the gem, but with that privilege comes the responsibility to polish those cuts and facets in
accord with God’s will for us.
