Time
Each and every week (until our last one), God gives us 168 hours. Hopefully, we spend it all with God, no matter what we are doing. For the most part, very little of that is restricted.
25-35% is spent sleeping. If you have a full-time job, that’s another 25% - plus potential commute time. What about the rest of the time? Getting ready – for the day or for bed. Eating and prepping food and cleaning up. Time with family. Recreation and entertainment. Chores. Shopping. What amount is spent in prayer or at Mass? What amount is spent in service of your faith community and those in need? Where do these fit into your life? God gives us 8,736 hours each year. What do you do with that time? Does God really come first – not in amount, but in precedence?
Talents
We all have them. And they vary. Which makes sense. There are lots of different talents and abilities, which is good. And no one has them all. Our world needs each of them – and our Church, too. Which means the Church needs each of us. Only then can the work of Christ continue in its fullness. Lacking some people, we are lacking some gifts, and our work and mission are hurt. In truth, it’s also important to acknowledge that many ministries don’t require a special talent.
