SHARING OUR GIFTS Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time Nov. 19 , 2017

Autumn is the season for harvesting and sharing the fruits

of our labors. This week’s scriptures use images of the har-

vest, family life, pregnancy, and investment to describe the

abundant harvest in the reign of God. We discover that shar-

ing the gifts we have been given brings eternal rewards for

everyone.

In the Gospel parable a master entrusts his posses-

sions to three servants before going on a journey. Each is

given some talents. What they do with those talents deter-

mines what the master will do with them when he returns.

How about us? What are we doing with our talents? How will

our Master treat us when he returns? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
