Each of us has been entrusted with unique gifts, talents, and abilities. Our gifts are blessings from God, given with and for a purpose.

In the Gospels, Jesus reminds us not to "bury" the gifts we receive. We will not be measured by what we accumulate, but by what we give away—reflected in our generosity, and the service we offer to others.

During the sacred season of Lent, we are called to practice almsgiving—to generously give of ourselves and share our resources to help the poor and suffering.

Today, find at least one way to be generous. There is someone who needs you and your attention and timely assistance. Sacrificially, share your God-given gifts. Don't bury them!
