I attended mass at Saint Ferdinand Cathedral on November 19, 2023 at 9:30 am, which was led by Fr. Bienvenido G. Lozano. The gospel reading from Matthew 25:14-30 about the parable of the talents encouraged reflection on stewardship and using the gifts God has given us to serve him and others. It challenges us to consider how actively we are engaging in God's kingdom and investing the opportunities he has provided. We should not be jealous of others and instead focus on using our own strengths and talents through God to find purpose and happiness in life.

I have attended the celebration of the mass in Saint Ferdinand Cathedral in
November 19, 2023 (Sunday) and was led by Fr. Bienvenido G. Lozano at exactly 9:30 in the morning. This parable encourages reflection on the theme of stewardship and responsibility. The talents represent the various gifts and resources that God has entrusted to each person. It reminds us that God has given us unique abilities, opportunities, and resources according to our individual capacities. The parable challenges us to consider how we are using the gifts and opportunities God has given us. Are we actively engaging with and investing in the Kingdom, or are we holding back out of fear or indifference? It prompts us to reflect on our responsibility as stewards of God's blessings and encourages us to live with faith, boldness, and a sense of purpose in the service of God and others. It reminded me that we should all not be jealous by anyone because we all have our strengths by which we can do all things through our God, we just need to find how to use it. We should always be grateful for what we have because that is where we would find happiness. Let us enjoy what we have and not what we want because I believe that is where is the true happiness.
