Pope Benedict XVI used his Sunday Angelus address today (November 13, 2011) to remind people that God has given everybody both talents and a mission in life, according to the Catholic News Agency website.
"God calls all men to life and bestows him with talents, while entrusting him with a mission to accomplish," said the Pope from the window of his Apostolic Palace to the crowds gathered below in St. Peter's Square.
The Pope added, "It would be foolish to think that these gifts are due to us, just as our failing to use them would be a dereliction of the goal of our very existence."
The Pope drew his observations from Sunday's Gospel passage from St. Matthew, in which Jesus tells the parable of the master who goes on a long journey and gives talents to three servants.
