We don’t own anything. It’s really a gift from the Lord; our time, our talent. It’s not ours to cling to; it’s ours to share. The more we cling to things, the more we sink. The more we share generously, the more we live. Life’s too short to just exist. We need to live, live to the fullest, and we do that when we are not so focussed inwards but we’re reaching outward. That’s the way our Lord Jesus calls us to live.
-Most Reverend Thomas Collins, Archbishop of Toronto
