1230 This initiation has varied greatly through the centuries according to circumstances. In the first centuries of the Church, Christian initiation saw considerable development.

To whom much is given, much is expected. The gift of life within the early church wasn't a given, it required evidenced and determination for one to enter. There are gifts revealed as we study our faith and understand what comes with this new found life. Your life becomes the evidence as you work at it, this is true of any endeavor we take seriously.

In todays Gospel reading, each was given according to his ability. There is a trust given by the Master that one will do what is right with the talent/talents given. Burying our talents and withdrawing out of fear does not produce new life, it causes us to shrink and to become less then. God entrusts each of us with ability and the Master will ask what we did with the gift of life given at our Baptism, did we multiply this gift or did we bury it. To whom much is given, much is expected, the joy is in knowing that we are only the workers, He is the grower.
Dear Father, there is much joy and love in witnessing You at work in the stillness. I thank You for the encouragement to reach out and help another in need. Bless our efforts Father and grow Your Kingdom through the work of our hands. Prayers for those that seem to be in impossible situations, nothing is impossible for God for we, His faithful, are made in His image and likeness. Bless this day Father and all it will produce. Love Your son.
Mary, Our Lady of the Rosary, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
St Patrick, Pray for us.
He forgives the broken hearted not condemn it. Never underestimate the power of forgiveness.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
