Jesus heaps praise on the good servants who were faithful in small matters and rewarded with the joy of the master. The servant who gets called wicked and lazy is punished, not because he miscalculated a risk but because he feared his master and took no risk at all. He was frozen by the thought that he could lose everything, so he buries the talent and anxiously awaits the master s return. He is wicked not for investing poorly but for not investing at all. God has given us all so many talents, and he does so for us to Piece: Charity (detail), 1507 enjoy a grand return on investment Artist: Raphael (ROI). He wants us to use our Location: Pinacoteca, Vatican Museums talents, work them, develop them, and at the end of our lives enjoy showing him the way they have Our loving God is the first to know this and so multiplied.

[Jesus said,] It will be as when a man who was going on a journey called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them (Matthew 25:14). E 2017 Liguori Publications Liguori, MO l Evangelio de hoy fomenta buenas inversiones! Jesús ensalza a los buenos siervos que fueron fieles en asuntos pequeños y recompensados con la alegría del maestro. El siervo que es llamado malvado y perezoso es castigado, no porque calculó mal un riesgo, sino porque temía a su amo y no corría ningún riesgo. Estaba congelado por la idea de que podría perderlo todo, por lo que entierra el talento y espera ansiosamente el regreso del maestro. Él es malo no por invertir mal sino por no invertir en absoluto. Dios nos ha dado tantos talentos, y lo hace para que disfrutemos de un gran retorno de la inversión (ROI). Él quiere que usemos nuestros talentos, los trabajemos, los desarrollemos y, al final de nuestras vidas, disfrute mostrándole de la manera en que lo hicieron multiplicado. Como un padre amoroso, él sabe que gran parte de nuestra felicidad está en desarrollar y hacer crecer esos talentos con su gracia. Esos talentos son un signo de su llamado y una invitación a salir en fe. Padres, su trabajo es ayudar a sus hijos a desarrollar sus talentos y sueños. Un niño seguro de sí mismo, entusiasta y arriesgado es un signo de padres que conocen el equilibrio de la disciplina amorosa, la motivación positiva y una distancia sana. Los niños que se sienten seguros del amor de sus padres están dispuestos a aventurarse e invertir sus talentos, ya que saben que siempre habrá alguien que los acompañe y los atrape si se caen. Nuestro Dios amoroso es el primero en saber esto y, por lo tanto, nos invita a esta parábola a confiar, invertir y disfrutar los beneficios.

People such as priests, teachers, grandparents, and godparents can help, but they cannot usurp the role of the parents. If your daughter is truly alienated from the or has truly given up her faith in God, then anything you say or do will probably make her angry. In that case, your best approach is one of kindness to her and her family and regular prayer for her and for them. Often, however, young parents aren t really alienated from God or the but have just drifted away. If they decide they should do something about their children s religious training, they often don t know who to contact. If this seems to be the case with your daughter and her husband, gently inform them that you will be glad to help get the children started. Contact your parish priest (or theirs) for the necessary information. This can be a big help to people who have been away from Catholic practice for a long time.

Thomas Santa, CSsR, 2017 Liguori Publications, Sundaybulletin@liguori.org A Word From Pope Francis I prefer a which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security...more than by fear of going astray, my hope is that we will be moved by the fear of remaining shut up within structures which give us a false sense of security, within rules which make us harsh judges, within habits which make us feel safe, while at our door people are starving and Jesus does not tire of saying to us: Give them something to eat (Mark 6:37).

Everyone is busy selecting the perfect turkey and having the age-old stuffing vs. dressing debate, but no one is too busy for the Faith Direct newsletter. Put down the bread, pick up your computer, and read about the exciting updates coming to Faith Direct this month (including big changes to how you get your disbursement reports)! *Please note the Faith Direct offices will be closed on Thursday, November 23rd, and Friday, November 24th, for Thanksgiving. **Please note as well that the general consensus in the Faith Direct office is that stuffing is the correct term! Did You Know? Funds given to the collection on the 4th Sunday of the month for St. Vincent depaul help the poor in our parish. Our St. Vincent depaul Ministry assists with emergency food, help with utility bills, rental assistance and clothing. YLI WHY NOT? GREEN CORNER No Waste November! (Try it for 30 days) Is anyone taking the challenge? Have tips to share? Let us know what you are doing. It s not easy but trying is a great start! Preparing for Thanksgiving. A good start is to refuse plastic & one time use utensils, disposable plates and containers. It takes more energy & resources for those items to be made & shipped (& you going out to buy) than putting the utensils & plates you already have in the dishwasher. Goal: If hosting a Thanksgiving dinner kindly ask guests to respect NWN. They can bring items in reusable plates & bowls which will also look nicer on your table. Suggest they stay away from plastic since even if it s recyclable it never biodegrades. Tin, aluminum & glass are 100% recyclable 100% of the time!
