Much will be required of the person entrusted with much.

"Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more." (Luke 12: 48).

In today's Gospel Reading, Jesus ended His teaching on the need to be prepared at all times for His sudden and unannounced coming with a curious ending:
"Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more."

Why did Jesus end His teaching thus? Perhaps because the irresponsible servants in the story may not even be aware of their gifts  and responsibilities. Are you aware of your gifts as a Christian? As a Catholic Christian with the fullness of faith? As Catholic Christians, we enjoy the fullness of the content of Revelation or the fullness of truth that God offers the world for the sake of our salvation. No other church or ecclesiastical community enjoy 100 % of the fullness of faith. Only the Catholic Church claims this from the beginning of her life.

If you do not know your gifts, tools and responsibilities, how can you be expected to be faithful to your assignment? Jesus will not accept ignorance as an excuse. If you do not know your master's will, you will still be "beaten lightly."

We have been given a lot. We have been given the Seven Sacraments, and the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit. If you want to learn more about these topics, click the link below:
