The worthy wife and 2 servants show the importance of using our God- given gifts
by Sister Agnes Fischer
The beautiful woman in this Sunday's first reading from Proverbs 31 certainly did not bury her talents in the ground, but rather exercised and enhanced them much like the first two men in the Gospel (Mt. 25:14-30).
These are people who are not afraid:
- To get involved when a friend or neighbor has a problem or is in trouble.
- To be generous and willing to give whatever is necessary: time, understanding, companionship, help, pardon …
- To be aware of the tears of another and do what they can to alleviate them.
Maybe it’s time to dig up that buried talent and put it to work.
Thanks for your Reflection, Sister! I love the closing suggestions for each of us. I make a "running list" of what I can do each day in categories like you suggested. Some days, I'll just say, Lord, what do you want me to do today & ideas pop into my thinking..
In God's Never-ending Love & Mercy,
Fr. Bill Jacobs
P.S. Thanks to all the Good Sisters for their Prayers for the Jacobs Family & our Dear Sister, Celina, who went home to the Father on Tuesday, November 2nd.
