“What profit would there be for one to gain the whole

world and forfeit his life?” - Matthew 16:26

St. Francis of Assisi once said, “Remember, you are what

you are in the eyes of God, and nothing else.” We

often forget this stewardship wisdom when we

spend all of our time, talent and treasure to gain

more of the world’s riches. We need to set our

priorities based on God’s values and not the values of the

material world
