Wednesday 20 November
Luke 19, 11-28:
“I say to you: “To everyone who has will be given more; but from the person who has not, even what they have will be taken away”.
This gospel is a call to grow always in favour of others without resting on our laurels.
It is an invitation to recognize the talents that the Lord has given us and is also an invitation to give thanks for them.
Recognizing and giving thanks is a way to grow the treasure Jesus has placed in us and also to enrich everything good in us.
And don’t be afraid to take a risk. The lazy servant took the wrath and punishment from his master because he did not want to risk the talent he had received.
The Lord also says to you what he said one day to Peter: “Go out into the deep”.
And remember what Pope Francis tells us: “I prefer a wounded Church to a diseased church”.
A church that negotiates with all the talents that the Lord gives to each of its members in favour of others.
Appreciate the gifts that the Lord has granted and make them bear fruit twice over.
If you enclose your gifts, you will never win anything and it will never come to anything for others.
Good day.
