How We React

When I was very young, I felt a rivalry with my older brother that was diluted with time. I remember occasionally that I envied certain-he had certain-equal-equal-equal skills that he had and I didn't, but to tell the truth I believe that if I had paid attention to my own skills instead of envying his, all would have been remedied. Just as my brother and I are both skilled in different ways, the Lord endows us all with unique gifts, but what do we do with them?


Just like the parable of the talents, it is our duty to work them and bring them to their maximum exponent, as well as to use them in the way that God-equipped us. That is why it is important to speak seriously about how-not only for ourselves-but also to give an account of the Lord's kindness and-bountifulness. Let us remember to see ourselves as important instruments in this journey; components of a great apparatus that spreads the love that Christ has for his children. So brothers and sisters: let us work on these gifts because in the Lord all things are possible.
