Jesus' advice : Gospel according to St. Matthew (25:14-30)

Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 

To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 

The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 

The one with two bags of gold gained two more. 

 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money. 

After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled the accounts with them. 

The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,' he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.' 

His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' 

The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,' he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.' 

 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' 

 Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,' he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 

 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.' 

 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 

 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. 

 “ ‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 

 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have in abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken away from them. 

And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Action of the day:

SAINT JOSEPH, MODEL FOR LABOURERS

Joseph, Model of Labourers Good Saint Joseph, when God wanted a family for his Son, He looked among the labourers, and chose you along with Mary, demonstrating His esteem for human work. You put your heart into your work, and share your workshop with Jesus. Your work, like that of other humans, found new meaning in the presence of God. Sustain us in the hope of finding work when we are confronted with the desolation of unemployment. Counsel business leaders to create an equitable division of labour that is respectful of individuals, and promotes our growth and happiness. Help us to perform our work joyfully, conscientiously, fairly and honestly. Prepare our hearts to recognize your Son in our colleagues at work. Amen. (St. Joseph Oratory, Montreal, CANADA)
