DAILY HOMILIES #slothful

Why would God give others more talents than me? We do not all have equal opportunities, but we all have equal abilities to make the best of our unique opportunities. God gives to each according to their ability. Some people are more fortunate than others, but just as our abilities differ, so do our problems. Avoid envy; no one is better than you. Avoid pride; you are not better than anyone else. We are just different.

Do not be so concerned about who got five talents or ten. If it is only one that you have, don’t bury it. Focus on your opportunities, use even your limitations and lack to your advantage – make the best of your unique situation.
