When it comes to doing our duty, then it is quite certain that there are no options.
Doing our duty does not take into account how we feel about it or whether we like it.
In fact, when duty calls, that is when we take responsibility for what we are called to do.
There is responsibility because there is an accountability to our superiors and our bosses.
But when we are given something based on trust, that is when character counts.
It may be a large sum of money that we have to manage and invest and we are expected to take care of it.
Or it may be a service to others that we are to carry out because we are called to it.
In the 1st reading, St. Paul talks about the grace that has been entrusted to him and that grace is meant for the Ephesians so that they can come to the knowledge of the mystery of God.
St. Paul saw it that it was his duty and responsibility to do what God wants of him with the grace.
We too have a grace that is entrusted to us by God.
It is our duty to find out what that grace is, because that is what is expected of us.
