Oh, Generous God, today the Gospel reminds me that everything begins with Your grace, Your love and generosity. I hear the parable of the talents that a man gives to his servants. Not equally, but in proportion to their abilities, with expectation they would be multiplied and used. On his return, two servants have increased them while the third simply returns the talent. Give me the grace to realize how much You have given me and look to how well I am using my gifts for the good of others and the world around me. Let me not waste Your generous gift of Your grace, but rather use it for Your honor, glory, and good of others.
Amen.
