Sunday’s gospel is about investing in our talents. SPIRIT encourages us to look at our talents and gifts and to use them. Who benefits from our gifts, who beside ourselves? Do we use our gifts to enrich our spirit, team, and community? The song “Champion” is about how champions are forged out of their experiences and choices.
Key lines: I got rage every day, on the inside / The only thing I do is sit around and kill time / I’m trying to blow out the pilot light / I’m trying to blow out the light / I’m just young enough to still believe, still believe / But young enough not to know what to believe in / …If I can live through this / I can do anything / …Champion, champion / And I can do anything
Questions: What skills or talents have you worked at improving? What are the benefits and sacrifices you’ve have made to develop these talents? When have you had to quit something you loved? How do you encourage other people to use their talents?
