TALENT
God gives us many gifts – our faith, the love and affection of friends and family, our possessions – to name but a few. As good stewards, as good Catholics, we need to discover more and better ways to express our gratitude.

As individuals and as members of the community of faith, we have been blessed with many talents. Stewardship invites us to offer our gifts and talents to our parish in order to build up the kingdom of God on earth.

Some are able to organize, some are teachers, still others have the ability to visit the sick and listen with great care. Talents are not better or worse, talents are just different. Together we can always do more than when we act alone.

We are not called to be passive beneficiaries but active doers of the work of God.

“There are different kinds of gifts but the same spirit: there are different forms of service but the same Lord.” 1 Corinthians 12:4
