Intro
Our attitudes and beliefs about money are shaped by the people we know, the things that have happened to us, and by the choices we've made. Sometimes these experiences become barriers to a healthy relationship with money. But taking time to reflect on them can also create opportunities for spiritual growth.
This Spiritual Formation Kit is an invitation to think about the ways we earn, inherit, receive, invest, spend, waste, give and share money. As you reflect on your money story, we hope that the process will give you deeper self-awareness and enable you to respond faithfully to God's call to simplicity, contentment, and generosity.
Do you feel that dealing with money is a bothersome intrusion into the real purpose of your life? Consider this and other thought-provoking questions below.

A Prayer of Abundance
written by Mark & Lisa Scandrette
for group or individual use
We know that we are cared for by an abundant Provider.
Let us choose to be grateful and trusting.
We know that we have enough and that what we need will always be provided.
Let us choose to be content and generous.
We know that our choices matter for ourselves, for others and for future generations.
Help us to live consciously and creatively, celebrating the signs of your New Creation that is present and coming.
Creator, who made us to seek the greater good of your kingdom,
guide us to spend our time, talents and resources on what matters most.
Teach us to be free,
to live without worry, fear or greed in the freedom of your abundance.
Give us our daily bread, as we share ours with the hungry.
We give you thanks for the precious gift of life!
