“Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s.” Everything we are and everything
we have belongs to God. We aren’t owners of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God
has given each of us. All God is asking is that we give back a portion of what He gave us. This is the essence
of Stewardship. God should be our first priority in everything. All else comes second, especially our

PRAYER AGAINST CORONAVIRUS Lord Jesus Christ, our Divine Physician, we ask you to guard and protect us from Coronavirus
COVID-19 and all serious illness. For all who have died from it, have mercy; for those ill now, bring
healing. For those searching for a remedy, enlighten them; for medical caregivers helping the
sick, strengthen and shield them. For those working to contain the spread, grant them success; for those
afraid, grant peace. May your precious blood be our defense and salvation. By your grace, may you
turn the evil of disease into moments of consolation and hope. May we always fear the
contagion of sin more than any illness. We abandon ourselves to your infinite mercy. Amen
