Luke 19, 11-28
“I tell you, to the one who has will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away”.
This Gospel is a call to always grow in favour of others without resting on our laurels. It is an invitation to recognise the talents that the Lord has given us and it is also an invitation to thank him for them. Acknowledging and giving thanks is a way to grow the treasure he has placed in you and also to enrich all the good that is in you.
And don’t be afraid to take risks. The lazy servant was scolded and punished by his Lord because he did not want to risk the talent he had received. The Lord also says the same to you as he said to Peter one day: “Put out into the deep”.
And remember also what Pope Francis tells us: “I prefer a wounded church to a sick church”.
A church that trades all the talents that the Lord gives to each of its members for the benefit of others.
Be grateful for the gifts the Lord has given you and make them bear fruit twice as much. If you bury them you will never gain anything.
Good day to you.
