Our Gifts from God | One-Minute Homily

Brother Bobby Nichols, SJ, shared a reflection on stewardship and ownership for the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi.

Nichols used the Parable of the Tenants in the Vineyard to describe how people often attempt to possess or control what God has given them, turning gifts into burdens. He presented Saint Francis of Assisi as a model of someone who gave everything away to find true richness. Nichols suggested that while talents are gifts from God, the way people use those talents serves as a gift back to God.
