Father Michael's Weekly Reflection

Weekly Reflection - 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time (2026)

"To one he gave five talents; to another two; to a third, one-to each according to his ability." (Mt. 25:15)

 

This is the Thirty Third Sunday of Ordinary Time. Christ teaches us the parable of the talents. Matthew 25 is the gospel we should know by heart. It shows that God expects results from the life and gifts entrusted to us. We are stewards of God's gifts and are called to multiply them for the good of others.

God has arranged everything in our lives. There are no coincidences regarding our family structure, education, formation and other means of growth we have received. When we fail to acknowledge everything as a gift, we treat what belongs to God as our own. We are meant to be a gift for others and not see our brothers and sisters as a means to our end.

Questions for Reflection:

  • Do I see all that I am and have as a gift?
  • How have I used my gifts in service of others?
  • Am I aware that it's never too late to begin to live for others?
