When faith is present, God delivers in abundance. Then many are surprised by the results, when abundance can cause danger or make life difficult. Jesus tells them once again … “Do not be afraid” words he used many times in His ministry.

REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL AND READINGS 4 SEPTEMBER 2012
Today’s reading from 1 Corinthians talk about the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, versus man-made wisdom. It is really important for us to make that discernment, as there are many today that believe strongly in their own wisdom; and some of them represent this as God’s wisdom. Keeping ourselves in a spiritual mindset will ensure we don’t make this mistake and keep us ever closer to God.
REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 1 SEPTEMBER 2012
Each of us has been given different talents, which the English word is derived from today’s Gospel reading.
The effective use of those talents; for God’s plan and purposes brings us into closer communion and awareness of His love for us. May we not squander or misuse them; perhaps even worse not use them at all. We remain on a journey of discovery through our lives with these being revealed to us in different ways and through difference experiences.
