Scripture Insights – Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time Taken from Source Book for Sundays, Seasons and Weekdays 2023: The Almanac for Pastoral Liturgy, LTP Liturgy Training Publications Copyright 2022, 3949 South Racine Avenue, Chicago, IL 60609, pg. 394. The first reading from Proverbs describes the good wife, using some of the imagery applied to Lady Wisdom in last week’s reading from Wisdom. The good wife works skillfully and with love – not only for her family, but also for the needy. “Fear the Lord” has nothing to do with fright. Rather, it describes reverence towards God and obedience to God’s will. In the second reading, Paul addressed a question troubling the Thessalonians – the delay of the end time and return of the Christ. He reminds them that the end will come when people least expect it so they need to stay alert. But because they are disciples (“children of the light”; I Thes 5:5), they have what they need to prepare for this event and need not fear. In the same vein, today’s Gospel provides a parable about how we ought to live as we wait for Christ’s return. A man, before going on a long journey, gives three of his servants huge amounts of money to invest. (In biblical times, a “talent” represented thousands of dollars.) The master, representing Christ, eventually returns to evaluate the servants’ work. He praises two of them for their productive investment of the resources he left them, but the third one is severely scolded because he was fearful and did nothing while his master was away. Clearly, the master has expectations for us. · We are not in the darkness and the darkness will not overcome us. As people of faith, the Light of Christ is always with us, guiding us forward through the darkness. The Light keeps us alert for the coming of the day of the Lord. · God entrusts us with many possessions. As servant-disciples of his Son, the expectation is that we use God’s gifts to multiply their goodness in service of the common good.
