1 Thessalonians 4:9-11; Matthew 25:14-30
Homily
For anyone with a little experience of the money market or who is sensitive to social justice, this Gospel may be problematic. But this parable is not about economics or social justice; nor is it concerned with the talents we have received and must put to work. This parable, like all other parables, speaks to us first and foremost about God. It teaches us something about God's generosity, which always rewards us in a way that is totally disproportionate to what we contribute.
