Man's gift are his burden,
his burden, his gifts.
When you have a gift,
You also have a burden;
to develop it, share it
find where to put it to good use,
be responsible for it.
Thus your gift has become your burden.
When god gives you a burden,
it is also His gift;
Because your burden makes you realize
how weak and little you are,
You are now constrained
to surrender your littleness to Him -
to lay your burden at His feet.
The burden thus offered
has now become your gift.
-- Fr, Guido Arguelles S.J.
