hort Reflection for the 33rd Sunday of the Ordinary Time (A)
Readings: Proverbs 31: 10-13, 19-20, 30-31; 1 Thessalonians 5: 1-6; Matthew 25: 14-30
The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25: 14-30)
Selected Passage: “For to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.” (Matthew 25: 29)
Meditation: Every gift we receive from God has corresponding responsibility. It must bear fruit in plenty so that others may also share in the blessing. Each one receives gives according to the measure one is capable. We become responsible and accountable for that gift else we become half-hearted servants. . The Parable of the Talents is a warning to those who do not produce anything. It is a kind of stripping (recalling) of anything that is left in an unproductive person.
Pope Francis reminds us that “only one whose gaze is fixed on that which is truly essential can renew his yes to the gift received.” Cf. www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
