A wealthy man leaves goods for each of three servants to manage while he is gone. We are
not told whether he gives them instructions. Finally he returns. Of the three he sees two who
invested the money and got back twice the amount. He is delighted.
Thus far the moral of the story would be: “Make the most of what you’ve got.”
But we miss the most interesting part of all if we look just at the successful servants (as does the
shortened version of the Gospel mistakenly do in the lectionary!!!!!). We lose the fascinating
and puzzling story of the third servant.
This poor soul did not invest the money at all. He buried it. Quite simply, he was afraid of
investing it and losing it. Seems he was right to be afraid, given the way the owner actually did
throw the poor man into “the darkness outside” where would be “wailing and grinding of
teeth.” Quite an overreaction, it seems: the poor servant just wanted to keep the owner’s
money safe!
Maybe the owner was simply a “demanding person,” as the parable says. Dark-spirited.
But there is more to it. There was a lot at stake. The monetary unit “talent” in Jesus’ time was
not a small amount. Even one talent could be worth more than a laborer would earn in a
lifetime. And the servants had a lot more entrusted to them than just money. The owner left
them all his possessions, everything he had. He took a great risk and he wanted them to do
the same, not to leave the investment rotting away underground somewhere.
Assume now that the parable is about God. Maybe God entrusts an even greater amount to
you and me. Our intricate lives. Our abilities. The living breathing human beings around us.
Love for and from them—and every so often, real and open acts of unselfishness on our part.
God gives all this and more free of charge: our own lives with all their rewards and
catastrophes. God says to us, dive in. Have your life. Make whatever you will with it because
you are my beloved.
Wonderful! But an awful question arises. Does God curse those who are afraid and who bury
what they are given?
Jesus does seem to say so. “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.”
Ouch. OUCH.
What does it mean? In the realm of spirituality there is
only one thing I know that goes away if it is buried
but which gets greater if you use it.
Love. If fear slams the door against love, guess where
you or I will be. In the darkness outside, wailing and
gnashing our teeth.
Get this: we all are frightened. But God has
compassion upon us. God waits for ages to see if we
will not accept just a bit of the love he offers, and if
we will even find just enough courage to invest some
of that love in other people. It is definitely a risk, and
God is often disappointed in the results. Surely he
says, “oh no, not again,” when we fail.
But this is a reaction from someone who loves us very well. Remember, love casts out fear. Let
love in. ~ John Foley S. J

Well done good and faithful servant!
God blesses us in very special ways when we sing out our love for Him! It is impossible not to be blest when you sing out
your Love for God, because when it comes from the heart, everybody gets blest, the whole congregation. God loves that
beautiful Holy Spirit moving in your lives! So brothers and sisters… sing, Sing, SING! Today we sing to God and Praise Him
singing this prayer through our songs: “Morning Has Broken Lord, and we Behold the Lamb at our table of Love. We will Join
in the Dance of your Love! Make Me a Channel of Your Peace Lord, and as I say yes to Your call, Let there Be Peace on Earth.
Thank you Father for your great Blessings!”
Choir practice resumes after Thanksgiving on Thursday, December 4th at 7:00pm in the Church. We are preparing for
Christmas and we need your heart and your voice! You don’t need to have a great voice, just a heart that wants to praise! For
more information talk to me after any liturgy.
If you can’t rehearse weekly, you can still be in the Choir. Just come up and sit in before Mass and we will tell what to do and
what to sing. It is easy and fun and all about the Heart of Worship. And remember that singing from the pews is the most
important thing we can do to make our Worship beautiful.
Thank you to Bill and Jean Lorenz for sharing their musical and spiritual talents with our Parish Community.
At SES our WHOLE CHURCH is our CHOIR, so together let’s Praise the Lord in song! Carl and the Music Ministry

THANK YOU to everyone who spent
countless hours organizing, setting up,
baking and volunteering to make the 2014
St. Elizabeth Seton Festival a great success.
Without the Time and Talent of so many
individuals working together we could
never make this event happen.
The envelopes at the end of the pews are for our support of the
Catholic Campaign for Human Development which is Next
Sunday, November 23rd.
Please use the envelopes to make your gift to the Catholic
Campaign for Human Development.
Several of our parishioners have taken advantage of the favorable
IRS guidelines pertaining to the Pension Protection Act (PPA). For
those who are not familiar with the Pension Protection Act, here is a
brief summary:
Have you taken advantage of the favorable IRS regulations (Pension
Protection Act) regarding distributions from your IRA? Many of you
have done so however, many more may not be aware of this
opportunity which will expire in 2014. In an attempt to increase
philanthropic giving, the IRS has extended the deadline in which
distributions from your IRA may be directed to a charitable
organization tax free. Once an individual attains the age of 70 1/2, he
or she is required to begin taking minimum distributions from their
IRA. This distribution is taxed at the individual’s particular tax bracket
(15%, 25%, 28%, etc…) For the remainder of the 2013 tax year, you
may choose to gift your distribution (up to $100,000) directly to your
favorite charity (St. Elizabeth Seton Parish) completely tax free. This
is a great opportunity to make a one-time gift without the federal
government getting their “cut”. Please see your financial advisor or
tax professional to obtain the forms necessary to make your gift.
What’s New in
the Friary?
Visit the Friary after mass this weekend
to see our assortment of Fall items:
