On this feast day of the anniversary of the canonization of St Josemaria Escrivá, Fr. Leo Austin reflects on the Gospel's parable of the talents, exploring themes of gratitude, vocation, freedom, and trust in God - on how each person’s life and gifts are unique invitations from God to create, take risks, and live gratefully without fear. Drawing on examples from Saint Josemaría Escrivá, Saint Joseph, Pope Francis, and even Bill Gates, the meditation encourages listeners to embrace their personal calling with courage and creativity, transforming ordinary moments into expressions of holiness.
