Reflection 20                                                                                                                       
            Today we have the gospel passage of St Mt. Chapter 13 verses from 54 to 58.Here some people are amazed on Jesus and the say that isn’t he the son of Joseph the carpenter? From where did he get these powers? Isn’t his mother Mary? They asked these questions because they saw the beautiful works done by Jesus. Jesus is god. So he is able to do miracles. Jesus himself knew that he is the son of god and that made him doing wonderful works. If Jesus would have thought that am a man only and a son of a carpenter, then I think he might have reduced to himself would not have able to any miracles. But   we are sure that this is not possible. This sometimes happens in our life. Sometimes we think that I may not able to do these things. We are not sure about our abilities and sometimes we become the third man who kept the coin in soil. God has given talents to everybody. What we need to do? We should find out the talents and make use of it for the kingdom of heaven. We need to believe in ourselves and should make use of all the opportunities given to us. As we know today we celebrate the feast of Dt. Ignatius of Leola. He ones said to himself that if he or she can become a saint then why can’t I? Later he became one of the greatest saints that Church had ever seen. If he did not find out the blessing that were given to him, or if he would have said that I am wounded and not able to do anything, we might have lost one saint. So dear brothers what I want to say you we are all talented. The verbal disordered Moses was the one who led the Israel from Egypt to Canaan; the small unarmed David killed the mighty goliath and led the kingdom for 40 years. So find out our talents nourish them and pray fervently to God for the grace to make use of it for the kingdom of heaven.
