"At that time, Jesus told his disciples this parable: 14" A man was traveling abroad. Called his servants and gave them his goods. 15A one he gave five talents, to another two, and gave the third one; which each according to its capacity. Then traveled.
16The man who had received the five talents went at once, they worked with and earned five more.
17 of the same order, which had received two earned two more.
18Mas who had received one went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.
19Depois too long, the boss returned and was settling accounts with employees.
20O who had received the five talents gave him five more, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Here are five, which profited '. 21The boss told him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! As thou hast been faithful in the administration of so little, I will trust you more. Come join my joy!
Also 22Chegou that had received two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Here are two more who profited '.
23The boss told him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! As thou hast been faithful in the administration of so little, I will trust you more. Come join my joy! '.
24Por finally got one who had received one talent came and said, 'Lord, I know that thou art an hard man, reaping where you did not plant it and reaping where you did not sow. 25Por it, got scared and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours. '
24Por finally got one who had received one talent came and said, 'Lord, I know that thou art an hard man, reaping where you did not plant it and reaping where you did not sow. 25Por it, got scared and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours. '
26th boss replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and I reap where I did not sow? 27Então, you should have deposited my money in the bank, so that when you return, I received with interest that belongs to me '.
28In then the boss commanded: 'Take away the talent from him and give it to him who has ten! 29Porque to everyone who has will be given more, and he will have abundance, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30Quanto this unprofitable servant, cast it out there in the darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. '"

A.BIGCUORE´S REFLECTION: Beautiful two this parable from the Gospel of Matthew, in which Jesus teaches his disciples the importance of doing GOOD USE OF TALENT THAT GOD GIVES US.
God, in his infinite wisdom, gave talents in various ways to all people. A few gave five (5) other (2) and two others (1) a talent.
Those employees who were given five talents and two talents were soon multiplying them by double. And he that received one, got scared and buried his talent and not multiplied.
Thus one can understand this parable: we are all children of the same God, but we are possessing different talents people, according to their capabilities.
Jesus speaks here in essentially SPIRITUAL sense, so we understand at least; but involves also our intellectual and social development.
All Christians are responsible for the development of the KINGDOM OF GOD !. Nobody is useless, unless one who received one talent and that talent stifled within himself and therefore did not produce fruit.
We are geared to holiness !. God has given to every human being, a mission on this earth that must be met. However, much pass by the earth in order to ignore the teachings of God. Lead a useless life, ONLY concerned with material possessions and symbols of "status" and forget that the key is LOVE!. (There is so much corruption, violence and blatant social injustices !!!).
God wants us to love nature and everything He created. Wants us to live this love fully, that is, with the depth it deserves.
SEE, JUDGE AND ACT - TO REFLECT IN GROUP:
0.1. Do you participate in any ministry in your parish?
0.2. You, in short, do some volunteer work in your parish? Such as pastoral care, pastoral tithing, Legion of Mary etc?
0.3. How you use your talent? Does it multiply or bury it?
All have a holy and happy Sunday with torrential BLESSINGS that comes from heaven !. In the name of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen !.
