In today's Gospel, Jesus continues to scold the Pharisees for not using the gifts with which God has blessed them. God's gifts are intended to be accepted, lived and used to bless others. In his letter to the Colossians, Paul writes ,"Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience....Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony." (Col 3:12, 14). Wouldn't our families, our cities, our world be better if we made these virtues, these gifts, the template of our lives? When we know someone who has integrated these gifts into his or her life, we feel such peace, such strength, that nothing seems impossible, even living this way ourselves.
