God calls us to be good stewards of the many gifts he has given us. Thus, they are not to be stored away but to be used in service of others, especially those in need. When the Lord calls us home he will not ask what we accumulated but, rather, what we gave away. May he find us to have been compassionate and generous.

We may wander from God and lose our way. The parable of the lost sheep reminds us that Our Lord never tires of searching us out and inviting us back. He will never give up on us and will patiently wait for us. When we return, he embraces us in love and extends his mercy. He says: “I tell you, there will be rejoicing among the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

True happiness is not found in wealth, comfort, or worldly success, but in trusting God. Those who suffer today are not forgotten. His Kingdom promises hope, justice, and lasting joy to all who place their faith in Him.
But whatever gains I had,
these I have come to consider a loss because of Christ.
More than that, I even consider everything as a loss
because of the supreme good of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.
