Loyalty and responsibility for gifts from God. We will render an account to God.

The view of today’s fields is sad. We harvested and stored the harvest a long time ago. As long as he lives on earth, man is aware of his responsibility for everything that God has entrusted to him. Jesus reminds us of this in the parable about the talents, the mines that have been entrusted to us, with which we should use appropriately because the words will be fulfilled on us too: “For to everyone who has, more will be added, and he will have more.” And whoever does not have, even what he has, will be taken from him” (Mt 25:29).

Our task in life on earth is to fulfill the will of God and thus gain a share in God’s kingdom. The Church not only reminds us of this, but also helps us. The very fact that we live is a gift from God. None of us took our lives alone. Parents are just an instrument that God used so that we can live. We live only from the love of God. God has given us various gifts necessary for our life in his wisdom and love. We have to give the gifts to the donor – “a certain person.” Still, before that, we are obliged to treat them in such a way that we not only return them all but that we return them appropriately multiplied by our involvement, our work, and the activity performed consciously and voluntarily. God, in his justice, distributes gifts. God will not ask the impossible from the gifted. However, every gift must be used. Then God, as he gave a reasonable number of gifts, will also provide a just reward.
By giving a gift, God calls a person to responsible work, a conscious approach to the duties and tasks to which the gift obliges him. Multiplying the gift is a matter of human effort. With each gift, God fills man with adequate happiness. If a person responsibly handles gifts, he gains even greater inner happiness. The words of Jesus express this: “Everyone who has will receive more…” (Lk 19:27). At the same time, it is also a reminder that those who do not cooperate, who do not handle gifts appropriately, become a witness to Jesus’ words: “And my enemies … beat for me” (Mt 25:29). This means that whoever received more will rightly be asked for more, and if expectations are not met, a harsher punishment comes. Everyone gets talents. What the recipient must not forget is – adequate work with talents. God gives and rightly demands commitment from man. 

When Edison was asked what he owed for his discoveries and inventions, he answered: “One percent talent and ninety percent hard work.” Louis Pasteur, the inventor of the cure for rabies and the discoverer of pasteurization, said the same thing. We respond with our faithfulness and responsibility to the gifts from God. Because we will give an account to God for everything in our life
