Suresh TODAY’S READINGS: First Reading: Proverbs 31:10-13, 19-20, 30-31 Psalm 128:1-2, 3, 4-5 Second Reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 Gospel: Matthew 25:14-30 GOSPEL ACCLAMATION: “Remain in me as I remain in you, says the Lord. Whoever remains in me bears much fruit.” - John 15:4a, 5b 33RD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME... BRING YOUR GIFTS INTO THE LIGHT OF DAY "A man going on a journey called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them." In today's Gospel parable, this man represents God, and the servants represent us. The story makes a clear point about the importance of putting the gifts God has given us to good use. Unlike the first two servants, the third servant chose not to make a return on his "talent." Thus we can understand the frustration of the master. He trusted this servant, and the fellow let him down. Remember, this all began with an act of trust when the master handed over care of his things. The fact is that the third servant did not take good care of what he was given. What have we been given? Some gifts from God we all share in common: life and salvation. But others differ from person to person. We each have our own set of "talents": our personal skills, our material blessings, our education, family background, and so on. Some have more, and some have fewer. But the point is that we are called to make the most of what we have, whatever that may be. Perhaps the starting point for making a return on God's investment in us is to recognize that what we have is really his! In a sense, our gifts and skills, even our lives, are all "on loan" from God. He is generous in sharing his life and his blessings with us. And, like the parable's master, he is quick to praise and reward our efforts. But when we choose to be "wicked, lazy" servants, taking everything for granted and not using our gifts for God's glory, then "even what [we have] will be taken away." What we bury underground is as good as gone. So let's bring our gifts into the light of day by sharing them with others and making the best possible use of all we've received. ©2014 Liturgical Publications Inc. FAMILY BIBLE QUIZ...

JOIN US TODAY AS WE CONTINUE ‘THEOLOGY OF THE BODY’ The young adult ministry are studying ‘Theology of the Body — Freedom to Love’, a five part programme by Christopher West. Recognizing the modern world’s confusion when it comes to sexuality, Pope John Paul II proclaimed the Theology of the Body – a profound message of love and human sexuality. He turned the notion of freedom on its head, declaring it to be selfless rather than selfish. He says “freedom exists for the sake of love.” Authentic freedom, therefore, always asks “what is the good of the other person,” not “what’s in it for me?” Sessions take place at 4:00 pm every other Sunday in Room A1 of St. Ignatius School. The upcoming schedule is as follows: Sunday, November 16th Sunday, November 30th ATTENTION ALL YOUTH: ‘The Wedding Singer’ Friday, November 21st, 6:30-9:00 pm.
