November 16, 2014
• The good steward feels good about sharing. Invaria-
bly, we feel good after we sense that our giving has
made some difference in someone’s life, e.g., visiting
a sick or lonely person, listening to someone’s heartache.
• Good stewards look for opportunities to help out or
make a difference. Wilkes writes: “The good steward
joins in God’s own generous nature by quite simply
and directly addressing the needs of the moment.”
STEWARDSHIP OF TIME AND TALENT

received various kinds of talents from God. The parable
Very few of us Catholics grew up being taught about the
concept of stewardship. At least our parents and teachers did not use the term stewardship. On the other hand,
they probably did try to impress on us the importance of
using well the gifts and talents given to us by God.

THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME A
places before us a gambling image of God who risks entrusting people with his gifts. Like a gambler or investor,
God has no guaranteed return on his investment. It seems
that he wants us to have a gambling spirit too with the
qualities and talents he has given us. If we succeed, both
God and we will be winners.
The first two fellows play along with the gambling image
of God. They believe that their Master expects them to
share his enterprising spirit. In contrast, the third fellow
considers God to be a tough taskmaster and feels intimidated by him. Instead of being enterprising with his
talents, he arranges a funeral service. So as to lose nothing, he risks nothing. After the Master returns, rather

self-image.
Fr. Roland Faley, O.F.M., writes: “The point is clear.
Those who build on their baptismal commitment by a
steady and active growth in virtue and apostolic zeal will
be more than amply rewarded. Those who do nothing
with this gift will lose whatever they have in final separation from God’s reign. It is the difference between industry and idleness in the Christian life.”
If we don’t utilize our faith, help it to grow and share it,
we, too, run the risk of being called “worthless, lazy
louts” by the Lord. As followers of Christ, we must
remember that faith is a risk as much as it is a security.
It is a “letting go” as much as it is a “holding on.” A
growing faith keeps us constantly on the move, calling to
us like it called Abraham, to leave well-trodden paths for
less-traveled roads.
The parable seems to be telling us that life is a precious
gift to be nurtured, appreciated, and shared with others.
“Give freely what you have received freely,” the Lord
tells us elsewhere. Our lives are not given to be hoarded
and tightly held on to. No, we are called to bless others
with the gifts and talents the Lord has blessed us with. It

may be a “Hi, how are you?” telephone call. We may
have a special gift for making money. This gift should be
utilized and balanced with a gift of generosity.
The woman or wife in today’s first reading is a wonderful example of an industrious type of person. Her ‘fear of
the Lord’ does not paralyze her. Rather, it moves her
into action. She uses “her hands to make clothes” (hurray
for our Art and Crafts group!). She also “reaches out her
hands to the poor, and extends her arms to the
needy” (hurray to all our parishioners involved in outreach ministries!). These qualities are seen to be much
more important than a vanishing physical attraction.
“Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting.”
We have parishioners who share their gift of time and
talent in a public, visible way, e.g., cantors, musicians,
lectors, Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, etc.
Others share their gift in a behind-the-scene way, e.g.,
the men and women who volunteer their time in the
backroom of our Thrift Store, sorting through used
clothes, restoring donated furniture and fixing broken
computers and appliances; Teresita Baltazar who proofreads all of my writings (her gift is enormous to me);
and many others who quietly serve in many ways in the
parish, like Joe Eisen and Lee Dague who are on campus
several days a week doing electrical work and many
other things, thus saving the parish a lot of money.
Again, a big thank you to all who volunteer their time
and talent especially because of their love for Jesus.
Stewardship Prayer
Generous and loving God,
You call us to be disciples of your Son Jesus
and good stewards of your many gifts.
Open our minds and hearts to a greater awareness
and deeper appreciation of your countless blessings.
Transform us through the power of your Spirit
to nurture a Stewardship way of life
marked by faith-filled prayer,
service to our neighbor, and generous sharing.
Teach us to be faithful servants of your gifts.
With Mary’s help, may we return ten-fold
the gifts entrusted to us.
We pray through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Have a blessed week,

ADORATION CHAPEL
“What does the poor man do at the rich man’s door, the sick man in the
presence of his physician, the thirsty man at a limpid stream? What they do,
I do before the Eucharistic God. I pray. I adore. I love.” -St. Francis of Assisi
Vacations, illness, absent snowbirds and just life take a toll on the
availability of adorers. If you can find an hour to commit to Jesus,
consider the Adoration Chapel. Jesus wants you there and
through the Holy Spirit is calling you! For information, please
