Weekly Reflection by Fr. Moe on The Sunday Gospel

Another parable: A Master going on a journey entrusts his possessions to his servants, to each according to his ability. When the Master returns, he settles his accounts with the servants.

The Master represents Christ; the servants symbolize us. The return of the Master speaks of the Day of Judgment.

Christ has entrusted us according to our abilities, with time, talents, and treasures to be used to build up His Kingdom. Are we using our time, talents, and treasures to their greatest potential? Or are we hiding or withholding them selfishly, out of fear, or out of concern about what others may think of us? All that we have is gift from God, borrowed as it were, on loan. We need to use these gifts in serving God and neighbor so that on the Masters return 'on the day of judgment’ it will be said to us “Come, share your master's joy.”

Pax et Bonum,

Fr. Moe
