The Gospel reading for today is the Parable of the Silver Pieces from Matthew 25. A man disbursed silver pieces to his three servants before going on a journey. During his absense the two industrious servants invested what they had received and doubled their money, while the timid and lazy one simply buried the money he had received. After the master came home, the two dependable servants were rewarded and the worthless one was punished.
My thoughts are: What we have received from God is far more valuable than silver pieces ~ every one of us has received God's infinite love! It follows that we have an awesome responsibility to bear. Are we to keep this love just to ourselves? Are we to spread it a little bit? Or are we to multiply this love for widest possible distribution??
