In the Parable of the Talents Jesus tells us that God gave each and every one of us gifts and talents to use for the Glory of God and our purpose in this life is to use those gifts and talents in such a way that we gain more gifts and talents and so show that the ‘Glory of God is Man fully alive’ (as St Irenaeus put it).
Using our gifts and talents for the Glory of God is called Evangelisation! To complete St Irenaeus’ quotation, ‘The Glory of God is Man fully alive, but the life of Man is the vision of God’. When we use our gifts and talents to evangelise we bring the vision of God to fruition in the world, show the nobility of human life and bring people to Christ’s Church.
For this reason we are looking for more people to help in these ways!
