Let Us Know

In Matthew 25, Christ teaches his disciples an important lesson about stewardship. He tells them the story of a master who, before leaving on a journey, entrusted each of his servants with a certain amount of money, or talents. Upon his return, he asked them to account for what they had done with the sums given to them. Those who had invested the talents wisely were rewarded with more responsibility. But the one who did not, the one who held onto the talent and didn’t let it bear fruit, was stripped of his responsibility.

Through that parable, Jesus helps us see that the question for his disciples is not how much we’ve been entrusted with, but rather what we do with what we’ve been given. That’s Christian stewardship. It is the careful and responsible management of the financial resources God has entrusted to us. We are all called to use what God has given us prudently and faithfully, providing for our own needs, while at the same time, helping build up His kingdom in the world. When you make a planned gift to Franciscan University you are exercising faithful Christian stewardship. You are giving back to God, using your resources to bring glory and honor to Him.
