Wednesday of week 20 in Ordinary Time
Saint Rose of Lima, Virgin
First reading – Judges 9:6-15
The plan of God is to produce fruits according to the talents given to us. Our vocation is to be for others. The answers of the olive tree, fig tree and vine show exactly that they are supposed to serve others, and nothing can let them forego that. They could answer that because they are well aware of what they can produce and what are the qualities of their fruits. Recognizing one’s own talents and the utility of these talents for others is necessary to understand our vocation. The talents in us are gifts of God. Knowing the gifts of God will help us to know the plan of God for us. Knowing how the gifts of God can help others will help us more to know our vocation. Let’s reflect: Do I recognize my talents and its utility for the service of others to know the plan of God for me?
