 What are God’s gifts to you? (mentimeter for all pax – word cloud; some will be
invited to share orally)
- Life, time, talent, material resources, opportunities, et al
 Every gift Is a responsibility. What have you done with your gifts? (accountability)
(cf., Mt 25, 14-30 “Parable of the Talents”)
- What gifts have you nurtured and returned to the Lord with increase?
- What gifts have you buried? not acknowledged? not used for love and service?
 [An appropriate song/music video can be played to end the second session.]

V. Session III – Gifted to Give as God’s Stewards

(cf., Mt 10, 8 “You received as a gift, give as a gift.”)
 Gifts are given to us for service.

excluded.

I just included here the basic concepts taken from the CBCP Pastoral Letter on Stewardship. You may
want explore how this can be worked out into a more detailed module (with powerpoint presentations,
videos, et al) appropriate to your target recollection participants.
  Considering your present circumstances, in what particular way/s are you
challenged to be a good and faithful steward? (as daughter/son? student? As a
member of a parish community? As a Filipino citizen?...) (break out rooms; some will
be invited to share in the plenum)

VI. Closing Prayer – “Pananagutan” or other appropriate song (music video)
