WEEKLY MASS SCHEDULE

"A man going on a

journey called in his

servants and entrusted his posses-

sions to them." In today's Gospel par-

able, this man represents

God, and

the servants

represent us. The story makes a clear point about the

importance of putting the gifts God has given us to good

use. Unlike the first two servants, the third servant

chose not to make a return on his "talent." Thus we can

understand the frustration of the master. He trusted

this servant, and the fellow let him down. Remember,

this all began with an act of trust when the master

handed over care of his things. The fact is that the third

servant did not take good care of what he was given.

What have we been given? Some gifts from God

we all share in common: life and salvation. But others

differ from person to person. We each have our own set

of "talents": our personal skills, our material blessings,

our education, family background, and so on. Some have

more, and some have fewer. But the point is that we are

called to make the most of what we have,

whatever that maybe. Perhaps the starting point for

making a return on God's investment in us is to recog-

nize that what we have is really his! In a sense, our gifts

and skills, even our lives, are all "on loan" from God. He

is generous in sharing his life and his blessings with us.

And, like the parable's master, he is quick to praise and

reward our efforts. But when we choose to be "wicked,

lazy" servants, taking everything for granted and not

using our gifts for God's glory, then "even what [we

have] will be taken away." What we bury underground is

as good as gone. So let's bring our gifts into the light of

day by sharing them with others and making the best

possible use of all

we've received.
