33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you have been faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities.” (Matthew 25:21) God calls us to nurture and develop the gifts He has given us and then generously return a portion with increase. He doesn’t want us to waste or hoard the gifts He has given us. He expects us to grow our gifts, use them wisely and be generous with them. Unfortunately, many of us are not generous in proportion to all that God has given us.
33º domingo del tiempo ordinario
“Bien hecho, mi buen y fiel servidor. Como has sido fiel en los pequeños asuntos, te daré grandes responsabilidades”. (MATEO 25:21) Dios nos llama a nutrir y desarrollar los dones que nos ha dado y luego devolver generosamente una porción con aumento. No quiere que desperdiciemos ni acumulemos los dones que nos ha dado. Él espera que hagamos crecer nuestros dones, que los usemos sabiamente y seamos generosos con ellos. Desafortunadamente, muchos de nosotros no somos generosos en proporción a todo lo que Dios nos ha dado.
