Imagine someone who, before traveling abroad, gathers his servants to entrust his property to them. He gave five talents of silver to one servant, two talents to another, and one talent to a third, each according to his ability; then he went away.
---- my own,
Above all, never forget that your whole purpose in this life is to serve in love. Life is meaningless if it is not spent doing good to everyone you encounter. This is why I urge you to pray constantly, unceasingly, for all good works done for love of Me are transformed into prayer. Nothing is beyond merit, no matter how small the task, if undertaken with love, in a spirit of compassionate service to those unable to help themselves. All the work that, according to your state in life, is entrusted to you must be done cheerfully, promptly, diligently, and joyfully. Remember that I love a cheerful giver. Yes, you are human. Yes, you are weak and frail, and the wiles of the evil one are constantly arrayed against you, but all you need to do is keep your gaze fixed on Me. You have your Guardian Angel, who is with you constantly, waiting to help you. Ask, and he will obtain for you all the help and graces you need from Me. Heaven stands available to you to pray for you, intercede for you, and bring all your petitions to the throne of mercy and grace. Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
