You Receive More. Give More.

Has much been given you? 

"Jesus said to his disciples:

“Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”

"Then Peter said, “Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?”

"And the Lord replied, “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the master will put in charge of his servants to distribute the food allowance at the proper time?

"Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so. Truly, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property.

"But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat and drink and get drunk, then that servant’s master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish the servant severely and assign him a place with the unfaithful.

"That servant who knew his master’s will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely; and the servant who was ignorant of his master’s will but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating shall be beaten only lightly.

"Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.” (Luke 12: 39 - 48).

Wednesday 25th October 2023 in the 29th Week of Ordinary Time. 

My friend, has God given you much in life? To answer the question truthfully and comprehensively, consider the following areas of your life:

1. Family. 

2. Health. 

3. Money. 

4. Job. 

5. Tools. 

6. Food. 

7. Future. 

When I did a similar reflection several years ago, I was astonished. 

"Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.” 

When I read the above, I knew I was in trouble. God is merciful. I threw myself into the merciful love of God. That was many years ago. Today I commit myself to make up for lost time and ground. 

Everyday, I engage myself to grow to know Jesus more through:

1. Daily Prayer. 

2. Daily Bible Verse. 

3. Communion. 

4. Confession. 

5. Daily Examination of conscience. 

6. Daily Spiritual Reading. 

7. Sharing my faith through Blogs. 

"Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.” 

Lord Jesus, I trust in Your merciful love. I cling tightly to this love. I surrender myself completely to You. Take care of everything Your way according to Your Plan for my life. 

 

“Go to the Madonna. Love her! Always say the Rosary. Say it well. Say it as often as you can! Be souls of prayer. Never tire of praying, it is what is essential. Prayer shakes the Heart of God, it obtains necessary graces!” (St. Padre Pio). 

Say the Holy Rosary every day in October.
