When today Gospel passage in the 25th chapter of Matthew is read
not in isolation but in conjunction with the parable that follows it,
that of the great judgment, we realise that doing good to those who
are neglected by our society is what the wise use and multiplication of the talents means.
Well done, good and trustworthy servant; you have been
trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many
things; enter into the joy of your Lord.
