Luke 19: 11-28 (Wednesday, November 21, 2007) - Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

It is important that we put into action the gifts that we have received from God. God has richly blessed us with various gifts but some times we do not use these gifts to further God’s kingdom on earth. How can we be better stewards of the resources that he has entrusted to us? I believe this is what the last judgment would be. Are we going to be like the first two servants who invested the master’s treasures or are we going to be like the last servant who did not invest? As members of Christ’s family, we are called to be investors of the treasures entrusted to us. When the Apostles received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday, they did not go back to the upper room; they used their gifts to minister to other people. We also are invited to be active in ministry. The most rewarding ministry we can do is the ministry of our lives - living radically our Christian vocation in the midst of the world.


Prayer:
Lord, help us to be better investors of the treasures you have given to us. Mold our lives according to your Christian image that we may daily minister with our lives to others.
