Dear Friends
“I will never ask you to do anything that is impossible. It might not be easy. But it will never be impossible. If you stick with it,
never quit, you will succeed.” I heard these words recently in a documentary. They really made me think. If I give all of my effort
to what I am doing, do it as best I can, pursue perfection, I will succeed. True enough. Hard work pays off in life, no doubt.
But there are things that are impossible to do in life. Look at the lives of the saints. St Peter was crucified upside down. St Lawrence was roasted alive. St Joseph Cupertino lived for five years without food apart from the Eucharist. Saint Padre Pio had the
gift of bilocation. These are impossible actions!
The lives of the saints show us that taking ordinary talents and living them in an extraordinary way for God’s glory can bring
about miracles.
This week’s Gospel speaks to us of taking our talents and multiplying them. If you look at each saint, they are ordinary people just
like all of us. The difference is that they chose to stick with living a life dedicated to being virtuous and imitating Jesus. They never quit in pursuing perfection, even if they stumbled and failed. And they succeeded in becoming great people through God’s
grace and mercy. They dedicated their lives to living for spiritual values and the results were astounding not only for themselves
but for many souls around them. The one who doubles their talents is the one who lives for spiritual values. The one who buries
his talent is the one who lives for the world and selfish desires.
What does it take then? Dedication. One week I will work on temperance – I will moderate what I eat and drink. Next week I will
work on fortitude – I will commit to praying for 15 minutes a day. Another week I will work on love – I will say only kind words
to people. Another week I will work on humility – I will look to serve others and not think about myself. The list is endless. If we
pray daily the Holy Spirit will enlighten us what to do. The ordinary tasks of living like Christ that are not impossible, will allow us
to do things that are extraordinary. Our lives will change for the better. And so will the lives of others around us who see the
good actions in us.
St Paul says, “I can do all things in Him who strengthens me” (Phillipians 4:13).
May the Lord Jesus bless you abundantly this week with His Grace.
Fr. Todd
