I, John, had a vision of an open door to heaven,
and I heard the trumpetlike voice
that had spoken to me before, saying,
"Come up here and I will show you what must happen afterwards."
At once I was caught up in spirit.
A throne was there in heaven, and on the throne sat one
whose appearance sparkled like jasper and carnelian.
Around the throne was a halo as brilliant as an emerald.
Surrounding the throne I saw twenty-four other thrones
on which twenty-four elders sat,
dressed in white garments and with gold crowns on their heads.
From the throne came flashes of lightning,
rumblings, and peals of thunder.
Seven flaming torches burned in front of the throne,
which are the seven spirits of God.
In front of the throne was something that resembled
a sea of glass like crystal.
In the center and around the throne,
there were four living creatures
covered with eyes in front and in back.
The first creature resembled a lion, the second was like a calf,
the third had a face like that of a man,
and the fourth looked like an eagle in flight.
The four living creatures, each of them with six wings,
were covered with eyes inside and out.
Day and night they do not stop exclaiming:
"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty,
who was, and who is, and who is to come."
Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks
to the one who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,
the twenty-four elders fall down
before the one who sits on the throne
and worship him, who lives forever and ever.
They throw down their crowns before the throne, exclaiming:
"Worthy are you, Lord our God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things;
because of your will they came to be and were created."

GospelLK 19:11-28
While people were listening to Jesus speak,
he proceeded to tell a parable because he was near Jerusalem
and they thought that the Kingdom of God
would appear there immediately.
So he said,
"A nobleman went off to a distant country
to obtain the kingship for himself and then to return.
He called ten of his servants and gave them ten gold coins
and told them, 'Engage in trade with these until I return.'
His fellow citizens, however, despised him
and sent a delegation after him to announce,
'We do not want this man to be our king.'
But when he returned after obtaining the kingship,
he had the servants called, to whom he had given the money,
to learn what they had gained by trading.
The first came forward and said,
'Sir, your gold coin has earned ten additional ones.'
He replied, 'Well done, good servant!
You have been faithful in this very small matter;
take charge of ten cities.'
Then the second came and reported,
'Your gold coin, sir, has earned five more.'
And to this servant too he said,
'You, take charge of five cities.'
Then the other servant came and said,
'Sir, here is your gold coin;
I kept it stored away in a handkerchief,
for I was afraid of you, because you are a demanding man;
you take up what you did not lay down
and you harvest what you did not plant.'
He said to him,
'With your own words I shall condemn you,
you wicked servant.
You knew I was a demanding man,
taking up what I did not lay down
and harvesting what I did not plant;
why did you not put my money in a bank?
Then on my return I would have collected it with interest.'
And to those standing by he said,
'Take the gold coin from him
and give it to the servant who has ten.'
But they said to him,
'Sir, he has ten gold coins.'
He replied, 'I tell you,
to everyone who has, more will be given,
but from the one who has not,
even what he has will be taken away.
Now as for those enemies of mine who did not want me as their king,
bring them here and slay them before me.'"
After he had said this,
he proceeded on his journey up to Jerusalem.

After he had said this,
he proceeded on his journey up to Jerusalem.
Meditation: "They did not want me to reign over them"
How does God establish his kingdom here on the earth?
The Jews in Jesus' time had a heightened sense that the Messiah would appear
soon to usher in the kingdom of God's justice, love, and peace on the earth
(Isaiah 11:1-9). Jesus, in fact, spoke in messianic terms of the coming reign
of God. Perhaps his entry into Jerusalem would bring about such a change and
overthrow of Roman domination.
Parable of the talents
Jesus speaks to their longing for a new kingdom in the parable of a nobleman who went away to receive a kingdom. The parable reveals something important about how God works his plan and purpose with his people. The parable speaks first of the king's trust in his subjects. While he goes away he leaves them with his money to use as they think best. While there were no strings attached, this was obviously a test to see if the Master's workers would be industrious and reliable in their use of the money entrusted to them. The master rewards those who are industrious and faithful and he punishes those who sit by idly and who do nothing with his money.

The master rewards those who are industrious and faithful and he punishes those who sit by idly and who do nothing with his money.
The essence of the parable seems to lie in the
servants' conception of responsibility. Each servant entrusted with the
master's money was faithful up to a certain point. The servant who buried the
master's money was irresponsible. One can bury seeds in the ground and expect
them to become productive because they obey natural laws. Coins, however, do
not obey natural laws. They obey economic laws and become productive in
circulation. The master expected his servants to be productive in the use of
his money.
The Lord rewards those who faithfully use their gifts
and talents for doing good by giving them more
What do coins and the law of economics have to do with the kingdom of God? The Lord entrusts the subjects of his kingdom with gifts and graces and he gives his subjects the freedom to use them as they think best. With each gift and talent, God gives sufficient means (grace and wisdom) for using them in a fitting way. As the parable of the talents shows, God abhors indifference and an attitude that says it's not worth trying. God honors those who use their talents and gifts for doing good. Those who are faithful with even a little are entrusted with more! But those who neglect or squander what God has entrusted to them will lose what they have.

The Lord expects us to be good stewards of the gifts

There is an important lesson here for us. No one can stand still for long in the Christian life. We either get more or we lose what we have. We either advance towards God or we slip back. Do you seek to serve God with the gifts, talents, and graces he has given to you?

The Lord Jesus offers us a kingdom of justice, love,
and peace and he calls us to live as citizens of this kingdom where he rules as
Lord and Master. Through his atoning death on the cross and through his
resurrection victory, Jesus frees us from a kingdom of darkness where sin and
Satan reign. Through the power of the Holy Spirit the Lord gives us freedom to
live as his servants and to lay down our lives in loving service of our neighbors
(Galatians 5:1,13). Do you trust in God's grace to make good use of the gifts
and talents he has given you?
"Lord Jesus, be the ruler of my heart and mind
and the master of my home and goods. Fill me with a generous and wise spirit
that I may use the gifts, talents, time, and resources you give me for your
glory and your kingdom."
Daily Quote from the early church fathers: Talents are divine gifts given to the
faithful, by Cyril of Alexandria (376-444
AD)
"To those who believe in him, the Savior
distributes a variety of divine gifts. We affirm that this is the meaning of
the talent. Truly great is the difference between those who receive the talents
and those who have even completely denied his kingdom. They are rebels that
throw off the yoke of his scepter, while the others are endowed with the glory
of serving him. As faithful servants, therefore, they are entrusted with their
Lord’s wealth. They gain something by doing business. They earn the praises due
to faithful service, and they are considered worthy of eternal
honors." (excerpt from COMMENTARY ON LUKE,
HOMILY 129)
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, LUKE 19:11-28
(Revelation 4:1-11; Psalm 150)
(Revelation 4:1-11; Psalm 150)
KEY VERSE: "Well done, good servant! You have been faithful in this very small matter" (v. 17).
TO KNOW: As they neared Jerusalem, Jesus helped his disciples understand that, contrary to Messianic expectations of the day, he was not going to establish an earthly kingdom. By means of allegory, he taught them that his reign was a spiritual one. In the story, he told of a king who went on a journey to secure the rights to his throne. In his absence, he put his servants in charge. On the king’s return, he demanded an account of each servant's stewardship. The reliable and productive servants were rewarded, while those who acted irresponsibly lost everything. In Jesus' death and resurrection, he also went to a "distant country" (v. 12), but he will return with kingly power and divine judgment. At that time, each individual will be evaluated on how they used the gifts God gave them.
TO LOVE: Have I invested my time, treasure and talents in God's kingdom?
TO SERVE: Lord Jesus, help me to use God's gifts with wisdom and foresight.
Memorial of the Presentation of the
Blessed Virgin Mary
The Scriptures tell us nothing of Mary's hidden life or about her presentation in the temple as a child. That which is known is found in the seventh chapter of the Apocryphal gospel of James, which has been dated by historians prior to the year 200 AD. This book gives us a detailed account in which Mary's father Joachim told his wife Anna that he wished to bring their daughter Mary to the Temple of the Lord. Anna responded that they should wait until the child was three years old. When the day arrived, the priest received her, blessed her and kissed her in welcome. He proclaimed, "The Lord has magnified your name in all generations. In you, the Lord will manifest his redemption to the sons of Israel." Mary was placed on the third step of the Temple and there she danced with joy and all the house of Israel loved her. It was there in the Temple that she was nurtured and her parents returned glorifying the Almighty. Though it cannot be proven historically, Mary’s presentation has an important purpose. Through the Holy Spirit, Mary became a greater Temple than any made by hands. Jesus, the Son of God, came to dwell in her and sanctified her for her unique role in God’s saving work.

Apocalypse 4:1-11. Psalm 150. Luke 19:11-28.
Apocalypse 4:1-11. Psalm 150. Luke 19:11-28.
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, mighty God! – Psalm
150.
‘The living creatures give glory and honour and thanks to the
one who is seated on the throne.’
What does it mean to give God praise? The first reading gives
praise in a traditional way – using words to give God glory, honour and power.
The psalmist wants us to go beyond words – all of us who have breath are to
dance, to play musical instruments, to clash cymbals.
But Jesus wants us to go even further than words, music and
dancing. The parable suggests that to really honour God we must take action –
to use the gifts we have been given wisely in the world. Our words and songs of
praise only have meaning when we live what we believe. Do we show our love by
our deeds?

The Story of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Mary’s presentation was celebrated in Jerusalem in the sixth
century. A church was built there in honor of this mystery. The Eastern Church
was more interested in the feast, but it does appear in the West in the 11th
century. Although the feast at times disappeared from the calendar, in the 16th
century it became a feast of the universal Church.
As with Mary’s birth, we read of Mary’s presentation in the
temple only in apocryphal literature. In what is recognized as an unhistorical
account, the Protoevangelium of James tells us that Anna and
Joachim offered Mary to God in the Temple when she was 3 years old. This
was to carry out a promise made to God when Anna was still childless.
Though it cannot be proven historically, Mary’s presentation has
an important theological purpose. It continues the impact of the feasts of the
Immaculate Conception and of the birth of Mary. It emphasizes that the holiness
conferred on Mary from the beginning of her life on earth continued through her
early childhood and beyond.
Reflection
It is sometimes difficult for modern Westerners to appreciate a
feast like this. The Eastern Church, however, was quite open to this feast and
even somewhat insistent about celebrating it. Even though the feast has no
basis in history, it stresses an important truth about Mary: From the beginning
of her life, she was dedicated to God. She herself became a greater temple than
any made by hands. God came to dwell in her in a marvelous manner and
sanctified her for her unique role in God’s saving work. At the same time, the
magnificence of Mary enriches her children. They—we—too are temples of God and
sanctified in order that we might enjoy and share in God’s saving work.

2) Gospel reading - Luke 19:11-28
Jesus told the following parable because
He was near Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was going to
show itself then and there.
Thus He said, "A man of noble birth
went to a distant country to be appointed king and then return. He summoned ten
of his servants and gave them ten pounds, telling them, ‘Trade with these,
until I get back.’”
But his compatriots detested him and
sent a delegation to follow him with this message, "We do not want this
man to be our king." Now it happened that on his return, having received
his appointment as king, he sent for those servants to whom he had given the
money, to find out what profit each had made by trading.
The first came in, "Sir," he
said, "your one pound has brought in ten." He replied, "Well
done, my good servant! Since you have proved yourself trustworthy in a very
small thing, you shall have power over ten cities."
Then came the second, "Sir,"
he said, "your one pound has made five." To this one he said,
"And you shall be in charge of five cities."
Next came the other, "Sir," he
said, "here is your pound. I put it away safely wrapped up in a cloth
because I was afraid of you; for you are an exacting man: you gather in what
you have not laid out and reap what you have not sown." He said to him,
"You wicked servant! Out of your own mouth I condemn you. So you knew that
I was an exacting man, gathering what I have not laid out and reaping what I
have not sown? Then why did you not put my money in the bank? On my return I
could have drawn it out with interest."
And he said to those standing by,
"Take the pound from him and give it to the man who has ten pounds."
And they said to him, "But, sir, he has ten pounds . . ." "I
tell you, to everyone who has will be given more; but anyone who has not will
be deprived even of what he has.
"As for my enemies who did not want
me for their king, bring them here and execute them in my presence." '
When He had said this He went on ahead,
going up to Jerusalem.
3) Reflection
• The Gospel today presents the parable
of the talents in which Jesus speaks of the gifts that persons receive from
God. All persons have some qualities; they receive some gifts or know something
which they can teach to others. Nobody is only a pupil. Nobody is only a
professor. We all learn from one another.
• Luke 19, 11: The key to understand the
story of the parable. To introduce the parable Luke says the following: “At
that time Jesus went on to tell a parable because He was near Jerusalem and the
disciples thought that the Kingdom of God was going to show itself then and
there”. In this initial statement, Luke presents the reasons which led Jesus to
tell this parable: A roximity to the Passion, B The imminen
coming of the Kingdom of God, because the persons who accompanied Jesus thought
that the Kingdom of God would come later.
• Luke 19, 12-14: The beginning of the
parable. “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to be appointed king
and then return. He summoned ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds
telling them, ‘Trade with these, until I get back’”. Some scholars think that
in this parable Jesus is referring to Herod who seventy years before (40 BC),
went to Rome to receive the title and power of King of Palestine. People did
not like Herod and did not want him to become king because of the experience
they had with him. He was the commander who repressed the rebellions in Galilee
against Rome which was tragic and painful. This is why they said: “We do not
want this man to be our king!” The last phrase of this parable would apply to
Herod: “As for my enemies who did not want me for their king, bring them here
and execute them in my presence”. In fact, Herod killed many people.
• Luke 19, 15-19: The account given by
the first of ten servants who each received one pound. The story also recounts
that Herod, after having obtained the title of king, returned to Palestine to
take over power. In the parable, the king called his servants to whom he had
given ten pounds to know how much they had gained. The first one came in and
said: Sir, your pound has produced ten other pounds. He replied, “Well done, my
good servant! Since you have proved yourself trustworthy in a very small thing,
you shall have the government of ten cities.” Then came the second one, and
said, “Sir, your pound has brought five other pounds.” To this one also he said,
“And you shall be in charge of five cities”.
According to the story, Herod the Great
and his son Herod Antipas both knew how to deal with money and to promote the
persons who helped them. In the parable, the king gave ten cities to the
servant who multiplied by ten the money he had received and five cities to the
one who multiplied it by five.
• Luke 19, 20-23: The rendering of
account by the servant who gained nothing. The third servant arrived and said:
“Sir, here is your pound I put it away safely wrapped up in a cloth, because I
was afraid of you, for you are an exacting man, you gather in what you have not
laid out and reap what you have not sown.” In this part, we have a mistaken
idea of God which is criticized by Jesus. The servant considers God a severe
master. Before such a God, the human being is afraid and hides himself behind
the exact and poor observance of the law. He thinks that by acting this way, he
will not be punished severely by the ruler. In reality, such a person does not
believe in God, but believes only in self and in his observance of the law. He
closes himself up in self. He draws away from God and is not concerned about
others. He becomes incapable of growth as a free person. This false image of
God isolates the human being, kills the community, extinguishes joy and
impoverishes life. The king answers: “Out of your own mouth I condemn you,
wicked servant!” You knew that I was an exacting man, gathering what I have not
laid out and reaping what I have not sown? Then why did you not put my money in
the bank? On my return I could have drawn it out with interest. The servant is
not consistent in his image of God. If he imagined God to be so severe,
he should have put the money in the bank. He is not condemned by God, but
by his mistaken idea t of God, which renders him immature and
fearful. . One of the things which greatly influence a person’s life is
his image of God. Some Jews, especially the Pharisees, imagined God
as a severe judge who treated them according to the merits gained
by observance of the Law. This caused fear and prevented people from
growing. Above all, it prevented them from opening a space within
themselves to accept the new experience of God which Jesus communicated.
• Luke 19, 24-27: Conclusion for all.
“And he said to those standing by: Take the pound from him and give it to the
man who has ten pounds.” And they answered: “But, Sir, he already has ten! “I
tell you, to everyone who has will be given more, but anyone who has not will
be deprived even of what he has. As for my enemies who did not want me for
their king, bring them here and execute them in my presence”. The king then
orders it taken away and given to the one who has ten, because “To
everyone who has will be given more, but anyone who has not will be deprived
even of what he has“. In this last phrase is found the key which clarifies the
Parable. In the symbolism of the parable, the silver coin of the king are the
goods of the Kingdom of God, that is, all that which makes the person grow and
which reveals God’s presence: love, service, sharing. Anyone who becomes
selfish out of fear will lose what little he has. Therefore, the
person who does not think only of self, but gives himself/herself to others,
will grow and will receive super abundantly, all that he/she has given and much
more: “one hundred times more, a hundred fold” (Mk 10, 30). “Anyone who wants
to save his life will lose it, anyone who has the courage to lose it, will save
it” (Lk 9, 24; 17, 33; Mt 10, 39; 16, 25; Mk 8, 35). The third servant is
afraid and does nothing. He does not want to lose anything and because of this
he gains nothing. He loses even the little he had. The Kingdom is a risk.
Anyone who does not run, runs a risk and loses the Kingdom!
• Luke 19, 28: Return to the triple
initial key. At the end, Luke closes this theme with the following information:
“Having said these things Jesus went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem”. This
final information recalls the triple key given at the beginning: the acceptance
to be given to the excluded, the closeness of the Passion, death and
Resurrection of Jesus in Jerusalem, and the idea of the imminent coming of the
Kingdom. To those who thought that the Kingdom of God was about to arrive, the
parable orders a change in understanding. The Kingdom of God arrives but
through the death and the Resurrection of Jesus which will take place within a
short time in Jerusalem. The reason for Jesus’ death and Resurrection is His
acceptance of the excluded.. He disturbs the great, and they eliminated Him by
condemning Him to death on the cross.
4) Personal questions
• In our community, do we try to know
and to value and appreciate the gifts of every person? Sometimes, the gifts of
others cause jealousy and competitiveness in others. How do we react?
• In our community, is there a space
where persons can show or manifest their gifts?
5) Concluding prayer
Praise God in His holy place,
praise Him in the heavenly vault of His power,
praise Him for His mighty deeds,
praise Him for all His greatness. (Ps 150,1-2)
praise Him in the heavenly vault of His power,
praise Him for His mighty deeds,
praise Him for all His greatness. (Ps 150,1-2)
