“Giving a portion of financial resources is part of stewardship living.  It is a powerful way of showing we truly believe that all we possess has been given to us by our God.  Some advocate sacrificial giving as a way to make sure we return a portion of our wealth to the Lord.  While sacrificial giving doesn’t entail a specific amount, it does mean we make God our top priority."  (Catholic Stewardship, Sharing God’s Gifts)
