Preaching for the Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time, Rose Lue offers a reflection on using our God-given gifts fearlessly to cooperate in building God's reign:
"Consider the Gospel’s invitation to share the talents entrusted to you in trust and without fear. Know that when shared in this way, there’s a promise of the talents being multiplied! And if we all used our God-given talents in this way, we would be, in fact, cooperating with God in building, in realizing, a world where love, peace and justice reign. "
Rose Lue is a community organizer, justice advocate, and spiritual companion. An Advanced Lay Leader in the Diocese of San Jose, California, she has completed 7 years of formation along with the candidates for permanent diaconate.
