"I have chosen you from the world, says the Lord, to go and bear fruit that will last."(Cf. John 15)
In today's Gospel, Jesus tells us a parable about two kinds of person that before the entrustment of the host. One is diligence and loyalty, instead, another is lazy and sophistry. Finally, the host belouded the good one, and according to justice, the host treated the latter.
In the life, for us Christians, each of us has been given a talent from God. We are meant to acknowledge the talent and trade with it. If we hide it away, we will be punished. How many of us declare that we have no talents? But we do: our very existence is a gift of God, our health, our intelligence, our emotions, our friends, our work—all are talents, gifts from God. Even, in many of the times, God gave us the blessing of the rich enough. Important thing is whether we understand it? Whether it be properly use it to bear the fruit?
O God, how much we value your mercy! All mankind can gather under your protection (Cf. Ps 36), teach and direct us in your way.
天主聖三，我們感謝你將教宗若望保祿二世，賜給教會，使他彰顯天父的慈愛、基督十字架的光榮，及聖神愛的光輝。他完全信賴你的無限仁慈，及聖母瑪利亞慈母般的轉求。他給予我們耶穌善牧的生動肖像，並為我們指出成聖是基督信徒日常生活的必然本分，又是通往與你永恆共融的道路。請你因教宗若望保祿二世的轉求，依照你的旨意，賜給我們所需的恩寵。願他早日被列入諸聖的名冊。亞孟。
