If we stop and take a moment to reflect on our lives, it's incredible to recognize the ways God has bestowed blessings upon us. Perhaps you've been graced with a unique talent, surrounded by loving friends and family, or endowed with valuable personality traits. Maybe you can forgive swiftly or effortlessly lift others up, seeing the best in them.

Let's take a moment to appreciate these gifts and acknowledge that they come from the divine. As we do, let's offer them back to God, recognizing that they are meant to be shared for the greater good of our brothers and sisters.  Today, Father Michael Simone invites us to surrender our talents to the service of God, urging us to utilize them in ways that contribute to the collective upliftment of humanity.
