Today, in the parable of the talents our Lord shows that he is not calling us to live a life of comfortable tranquility, but rather to develop our talents. He who lives his life in the light of responsibility of their own eternal life is much more conscious of the importance of each and every day. Time used well for something good is transformed into an object with a long lasting value. Time, we receive from God and as good administrators we should give it back to him well used.

We have to maintain the fruit for it to last. After a certain period of time, buildings, money, books..., disappear. All that remains eternally is the human soul, man created by God for all eternity. The fruits that remain are those that we have sown in the human soul. We must live in the present with view to eternity.

—I ask the Lord to help me to carry these fruits that will always exist. Only in this way can this valley of tears be transformed into the garden of the Lord.
