Here’s a reflection on the gospel text for November 13, 2011 (Proper 28A), the parable of the Talents. It was written by Bruce Prewer.
Gospel Reflection
(Matthew 25:14-30)
How much wealth
has the master given
to my trust?
Where best
can it be put to work
at a profit
as faith must?
How many gifts
are now employed
for his gain?
Where best
to use each aptitude
though it may bring
cost and pain?
How much time
have I to spend
sharing love?
Before
the master comes again
with expectation
on his face?
