God's possessions are entrusted to us so that we might nourish the fruits of wisdom and understand the gifts He has given us.

"God's possessions are not earthly, physical things like ours; a home, bank account, personal items and so forth," the bulletin of Saints Joseph, Peter, Boniface and Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary said. "God's possessions are far greater and deeper. God's greatest possession is His very Self and it is precisely this pearl of great price that He bestows freely upon us."

But with God's possessions, we may wonder what to do with them. To do this, we must understand His gifts. 

"Wisdom asks us to broaden out horizons to embrace all avenues of human life, including the needs of the poor, the marginalized and the needy," the church said in the bulletin. "Manifested primarily in the virtues of faith, hope and love, what God has entrusted to us can multiply exponentially if we invest His gift wisely and reap the greatest benefits. While it requires a great deal of focus and persistent hard work, we will experience tremendous joy when we realize just how much confidence God has in us."
