On this #WorldDayofthePoor the parable of the talents is a summons to examine the spirit with which we confront the journey of our lives. We have received from the Lord the gift of his love and we are called to become a gift for others.
Poverty is a scandal. When the Lord returns, he will settle accounts with us. Let us #PrayTogether that each of us, according to the gift we received and the mission entrusted to us, may strive “to make charity bear fruit” and draw near to some poor person.
The wisdom of life lies in taking care of what cannot be seen, but is more important, because it is within us. It is nurturing the inner life. This means knowing how to stop and listen to one’s heart, to keep watch over one’s own thoughts and feelings #GospelOfToday (Mt 25:1-13)
