I realize today that God can multiply gifts if we cooperate. Vatican II said that each of us is called by our baptism to service in the Church and the world. Most of us are getting better at serving inside the Church. Most of us have learned that we can read or sing or minister at the altar. What is still left to be done is working in the world.
Many people are afraid to share their faith or to stand up for that which is right in the world.
We think that we are forcing our religion on others or that we won t be liked if we seem too religious. That is the area that still needs our further work. Let us ask the Spirit to help each of us to learn what our gifts are and then to use them to bring forth the Kingdom. It is crucial that everyone take up the challenge. It doesn t matter whether you have been given many talents or few, what is important is using whatever God has given you for His work.
