Today's readings have to do with the knowledge of the plan of God's mystery that is freely given to those God wishes to have it.
St. Paul was one such person. But he was given the knowledge so he could share it and thus motivate God's people to act as who they were truly chosen to be: God's special people – members of his family, living stones of his spiritual temple!
Jesus in the gospel passage refers to the same dynamic in making the point that much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and more of the person who has more – that which is in possession here being the knowledge and benefits of life in the kingdom of heaven!
God wishes to supply us with what we need to live rich and abundant spiritual lives both here and hereafter! This is a drawing of spiritual water from spiritual springs of salvation! May we be thirsty this day – may we approach and drink in the mysteries of God – and then share them with all we meet – especially in acts of loving service!
You will draw water joyfully from the springs of salvation!
