1 Cor 1, 26-31; Matt 25, 14-30
Homily
For anyone who has any experience of the money market or who is at all aware of social justice, this Gospel can be problematic. But this parable is not about economics or social justice; nor is it concerned with the talents we have received and must produce. This parable, like all the other parables, is above all about God. It teaches us something about the generosity of God, who always rewards us in a way that is totally disproportionate to what we bring.
