#### **We witness to Christ when we do good toward others**

In their pastoral letter, *Stewardship: A Disciple’s Response,* the U.S. bishops remind us that, as faithful disciples, we are obligated to witness Christ by blessing others in mercy and love:

*Disciples give thanks to God for gifts received and strive to share them with others. That is why, as Vatican II says of the Eucharist, “if this celebration is to be sincere and thorough, it must lead to various works of charity and mutual help, as well as to missionary activity and to different forms of Christian witness.”*

Through our support of the ministries, programs, and services the [CSA funds](https://give.aod.org/) and the countless spiritual and temporal benefits they provide, we witness Christ’s mercy and love to thousands of people in southeast Michigan and beyond.

Generously sharing ourselves and our gifts through the CSA allows us to witness our discipleship in Christ through our love of one another.
