How many times a day or a week does someone ask for a favor, or do we come across a situation that requires our assistance? Like the servants who received gold coins to trade from their master, we have been given the gold coin of a loving heart. Do we invest it, as did the first servant, or do we wrap it up in a napkin as did the third servant? (cf. Lk 19: 11-28). This parable parallels the parable in Matthew, which we read last Sunday, and, despite some minor differences in detail, gives the same message: Do not be afraid to invest, to give, to love. Investing in the opportunities to love can only multiply and expand our "treasury" The more we give of our hearts to others, the more will they come to us, seeing our generous hearts and knowing that we will find a way to give to them too. Jesus did not hold back, neither should we.
