Through her experience and teachings on stewardship, Mila Glodava highlights the spirituality of stewardship as a vital and effective expression of being a synodal Church. This book is so real and refreshing!

The book is a helpful material to us, especially the lay people, in understanding and practicing the spirituality of stewardship in the light of the call to become a “Church of the Poor”. Surely, the Basic Ecclesial Communities, or BECs is the fertile ground in which the spirituality of stewardship as a Way of Life will be thriving and fruitful. In the Archdiocese of Davao, with its suffragan dioceses of Digos, Tagum and Mati, through the leadership of archbishop Romulo G. Valles, we are slowly but steadily practicing it in a synodal way.

Having access to Mila Glodava's experience collected in this book is an exceptional gift. For Spanish parishes, that are beginning to put stewardship into practice, this book will be an invaluable help. Rather than focusing on fundraising for the needs of the Church, she helps us to embrace the need to give, in grateful response to God’s abundance. Thanks be given to the Lord for her testimony of a lifetime dedicated to inspire gratitude.
