Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Parable of the Talents
Introduction to the Liturgy of the Word
We are invited to place ourselves into each of today’s readings. Since the Church is the bride of Christ, we should collectively strive to be the “worthy wife” of the selection from Proverbs. Likewise, we should stay “alert and sober,” as Saint Paul counsels the Thessalonians, for we cannot know when the Lord will come. In the Gospel, Jesus tells the disciples the parable of the talents to impress upon them the need to use their talents well, according to what they had been given.
May this be an opportunity to reflect upon how we measure up.
