Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Here are the readings for the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, November 16, 2014:

Proverbs 31: 10-13, 19-20, 30-31
Psalm 128: 1-5
1 Thessalonians 5: 1-6
Matthew 25:14-30


In this parable, the three servants are not competing with each other. Rather, they have each been entrusted with a particular amount and left to decide what to do with it.  They aren't evaluated by the Master based on their performance in relation to the other two servants, but on how well they have made use of what they have been given.

What factors influence your own ability to take a risk or to decide to hold back in your own life?
In your spiritual journey?

The topic for the Catechumenate this week is Stewardship.
