Friends of the Rosary, We hear the "Parable of the Talents" in Matthew 25:14–30 today. It tells of a master who was leaving his house to travel and, before leaving, entrusted his property to his servants. According to each man's abilities, one servant received five talents, the second two, and the third only 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 more significant responsibilities, but to the third man, the talent is taken away from him and given to the one with ten.Talents are everything that we’ve received from God—life, breath, being, powers. Because they come from God, they are meant to become gifts. They wither away if you cling to them like the third servant. As Jesus said, "For 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." Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come!
