November 20, 2024, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary, Today, in the Gospel (Lk 19:11-28), Jesus instructs us about our spiritual life with scenes drawn from business, investment, risk, and return. God exists in gift form. And if we want the Lord’s life in us, we must learn to give it away. Everything we own comes from the Divinity: life, being, powers, talents. If we cling to them, they wither away, not growing. The reading shows how the first two servants doubled their wealth as they risked it. The third one didn’t multiply the received gift. Jesus told him, “With your own words, I shall condemn you,you wicked servant.You knew I was a demanding man,taking up what I did not lay downand harvesting what I did not plant;why did you not put my money in a bank?Then, I would have collected it with interest on my return.’And to those standing by, he said,‘Take the gold coin from himand give it to the servant who has ten.’But they said to him,‘Sir, he has ten gold coins.’He replied, ‘I tell you,to everyone who has, more will be given,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! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York
