Twenty-first Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 25:14-30




*Friends, today’s Gospel gives us the challenging parable of the talents. A
man goes on a journey, but before leaving he entrusts his money to three of
his servants. To one he gives five talents, to a second, two, and to a
third, one. The first man trades with the five talents. The second does the
same, and both receive a rich return on their investment. The third man
cautiously buries his talent. When the owner returns, he praises the first
two servants and gives them greater responsibilities, but the third man he
upbraids. Jesus * loved to use examples drawn from the world of business.
And he* especially liked this dynamic of investment as a model of the
spiritual life. The reason is clear, and I’ve said it to you often. God
exists in gift form. Therefore, **if you want his life in you,** you have
to learn to give it away. Think of the talents as everything that we’ve
received from God—life, breath, being, powers. Because they come from God,
they are meant to become gifts. If you cling to them, in the manner of the
third servant, they don’t grow; in fact, they wither away.*
