STEWARDING THE GIFT OF TALENT
A “talent” is not necessarily something at which we are very
skilled. Being a good steward of our talents means using
whatever God gave us to the best of our ability to build up His
kingdom. When we name our talents we are not bragging because
we know that each trait is a gift from God. And we needn’t feel
that we don’t have enough talents to make a difference. God will
make whatever he gave us “enough” to fulfill His plan if we
generously share the gifts we do have with others.
What are my Talents?
God made each of us in His own image and likeness, and yet
unique in all the world! We each have a special combination of
aptitudes and abilities, interests and passions, skills and
experiences that make us who we are and equip us to do what
God needs us to do. Whether you are a good listener, a computer
programmer, a good cook, a concert pianist, a warm hugger or a
motivational speaker – God gave you a valuable talent to be
cultivated and shared.
How do I/can I use my Talents?
Opportunities abound in our day-to-day lives to use our talents to
serve others. We use them to take care of our families, help our
friends and neighbors, contribute to society through our work and
civic activities, assist at the school, participate in parish life and
do community service.
Take this opportunity to identify the particular gifts with which
God has blessed you. If you do this with your family or friends,
you can share your insights and also identify some of the gifts
you see in them that they may not notice in themselves – and they
in you!
“There are different gifts but the same Spirit,
there are different ministries but the same Lord,
there are different works but the same God who accomplished all
of them in everyone.” (1Cor 12:4-5)
Fr. Randy will be away on vacation for the week of
October 13 through 20. We pray for safe travels
and a restful break.
XXVIII DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO – 12 DE OCTUBRE, 2014
“Un talento no es algo en lo cual somos muy hábiles
necesariamente. Ser un buen administrador de talentos,
significa utilizar todo lo que Dios nos ha dado en lo
mejor de nuestra habilidad para construir su Reino.
Cuando nombramos nuestros talentos no nos jactamos
porque sabemos que cada uno es un regalo de Dios. Y
no debemos sentir que no tenemos los suficientes
talentos para hacer la diferencia. Dios hará lo que él nos
dio “suficiente” para cumplir con su plan, si compartimos generosamente con los demás los dones que sí
tenemos.

As Christian stewards, we receive God’s gifts gratefully, cultivate
them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice with others, and
return them with increase to the Lord.
In today’s second reading, St. Paul thanks the Philippians
for being willing to share in his hardships and promises that
God, in turn, will fully supply all their needs. Our God truly
cannot be outdone in generosity!
Your ongoing support of
the Society for the Propagation of the Faith is
vital to the missionaries serving in 1,150 dioceses
throughout Asia, Africa, parts of Latin America
and Europe, and on the Islands of the Pacific.
Your generosity makes it possible for local
priests, religious, and catechists to reach out to
communities, families and children in desperate
need, bringing the light of Christ to the darkest of
circumstances.
