The readings today encourage us to live a life rooted in love and hard labor. St. Paul's letter tells us to abound in love for one another and to "work with your own hands." This speaks directly to the Filipino spirit of industry and dedication. As a nation built on the diligence and perseverance of its people, we are called to see our daily work not just as a means to an end, but as an act of love and service to God. The Gospel of the talents further highlights this. We are all given different gifts, and we are expected to use them for the Lord. The unfaithful servant, who was afraid and did nothing, is a warning against laziness and complacency. A faithful Filipino is a good steward of their talents, a hardworking person who uses their gifts to bring about God's kingdom on earth, a person of both faith and labor, acting out of love for the Lord.
