Once again, Jesus uses parables to
explain the
Kingdom of Heaven (Mt
25, 14-30). This time it presents a man who leaves his closest collaborators in the care of his
assets, expecting
each of them to take care of these assets as if they were their own. At the time of
returning that man asks each of his
collaborators for an account. This
man sees with
satisfaction the performance of the first
two, who made the entrusted goods multiply; however, the latter
excuses himself from
the fear of losing what does not belong
to him due to misuse. The latter did
not know how
to reciprocate the trust placed in him,
nor was he interested in taking care
of what was
given as his own, he simply did not use his talents to honor the trust placed
in Him.
Today's second reading, from the apostle Saint Paul (1 Thes 5, 1-6), invites us to be aware that there is a return of Jesus in his glory and at that moment there will be the judgment. It will be an unexpected moment, but at the same time a moment prepared by Christians. It will be time to introduce each person with their story and the fruits generated. It is precisely that moment that describes today's gospel parable. This is the moment that every Christian must keep in mind and not ignore as if that day were not going to happen. Let us act diligently, convinced that God knows everything and sees everything, and sees our efforts to make his Kingdom prosper in the world, just as he has commissioned us to do. Amen.
