Gospel – Luke 12:39-48
This gospel passage speaks about our responsibility towards the gifts and graces we received from God. Each talent we have and each grace we have received is a responsibility for which we have to give account to the Lord. “What sort of steward, then, is faithful and wise enough for the master to place him over his household to give them their allowance of food at the proper time?”. With the gifts and graces, we have received, we have been placed over his household. For what? To give those around us what they need at the right time. Two important points to be noted. ‘What they need’ and ‘at the right time’. Are we aware of this? Then again, the Lord is specifying how to do it. We must do this faithfully and wisely. Again, two important points to be noted. So, the talents and graces which we have received, give us the responsibility to take care of those around us, faithfully and wisely, providing them with what they need and on the right time. What a responsibility! Are you aware about this?
