FROM TODAY’S GOSPEL READING:
His master said to him, “Well done my good and faithful
servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give
you great responsibilities.”
REFLECTION:
We are grateful for our faith, it has seen us through very
difficult times; but the parable urges us not to get too cozy.
Faith just about believing in Jesus, but in following him.
Our faith can urge us to leave our personal comfort zone.
Risk-taking faith would invite us to invest in situations that
may be beyond our usual horizon, but urgently need our
presence and action.
The 2015 Mass book is open. Masses may be obtained
at the Rectory during normal working hours. The stipend for weekday Masses will remain at $10, but the
stipend for Saturday evening and Sunday Masses will
increase to $15 per Mass. You may obtain six Masses four weekday and two weekend Masses. Additional
Masses may be obtained after December 1st. Sanctuary
candles and Altar bread and wine intentions may also
be ordered at this time.
Please Pray for the following:
PERSONS SERVING OUR COUNTRY: If you know
anyone who is serving our country, please call the
Rectory and we can add them to the prayer list .

SO WE ASK OURSELVES:
Are we keeping our faith “too close to our vest”? What
venture is God asking us to undertake in Jesus’ name?
PLEASE PRAY TO SUPPORT THOSE IN NEED
PRAYER IS AN EASY AND POWERFUL ACTION!

Evangelio: Mt 25,14-30: Has sido fiel en lo poco, pasa al banquete de tu señor
La parábola narrada por Jesús a sus discípulos debe entenderse bien. Normalmente, se piensa que los talentos son dotes o capacidades intelectuales que Dios nos da. Sin embargo, para Mateo son las ocasiones que nos ofrece la vida, las responsabilidades que
estarnos llamados a asumir, las tareas que nos han confiado. La parábola, en efecto, refiere que aquel hombre llamó a sus criados y,
antes de ausentarse, «les encomendó su hacienda. A uno le dio cinco talentos, a otro dos y a otro uno» (v. 15). Los dos primeros siervos son un ejemplo de laboriosidad y actividad: han negociado los talentos y han conseguido el doble de lo recibido, y cada uno de
ellos es llamado «bueno y fiel» por su señor (vv. 21.23). El tercer siervo, en cambio, se muestra holgazán e inactivo; no quiere correr
riesgos, se limita a conservar el talento y no produce nada, y por este motivo es llamado «malvado y perezoso» (v. 26) y “criado
inútil” (v. 30). El contraste entre los siervos es la oposición que existe entre laborioso y perezoso, entre actividad y pasividad.
