Money has a sacramental nature. When your giving comes from a generous and caring heart, we transform the material object to possess and convey spiritual value.
That is, money possesses and conveys spiritual value because of you; because something of your very self is offered with it–— your work, precious energy, mind, intelligence, dreams, and your longings. In this way, money becomes a spiritual matter, and its use becomes a statement of faith.
We believe God is the source of life, our will, gifts, and talents. We act out that belief in the ways we use God’s gifts: when we offer it to some good cause, to someone in need. When we use our gifts and our money in this way, they convey God’s grace, and become sacramental.
