[Grem] *****SPAM(5.2)***** Gospel meditation (Bp. Barron)

[Emoke Greschik]

 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: 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.*

*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
