“Jesus told His Disciples this parable:
‘A man going on a journey
called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them.
To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one–
to each according to his ability.
Then he went away.
* * * … His master said … “Well done, my good and faithful servant.
Since you were faithful in small matters,
I will give you great responsibilities.
Come, share your master’s joy.”‘”

“Faithful Catholics are rallying to the defense of an orthodox U.S. bishop for upholding Catholic doctrine on sexuality. … LifeSiteNews introduced a petition in support of Bp. Robert Morlino of the diocese of Madison, Wisconsin. … In late October, Morlino came under attack after his vicar general issued priests of the diocese a series of guidelines, suggesting that anyone in a same-sex ‘marriage’ who dies without some clear sign of repentance should be denied funeral rites. …”

CATHOLIC FAITHWATCH: “[‘They do not practice what they preach’] Saint Hilary Commentary on Saint Matthew’s Gospel” – DailyGospel

File Photo of Sunrise at Joshua Tree National Park

“The Lord warns us … flattering words and sweet promises should be judged by the fruits they produce. … What sense would a holiness be that was limited to the invocation of a Name? For the Kingdom of Heaven is to be found in obedience to God’s will …. We have to give something … of our own … desire good, avoid evil and obey the Divine Precepts with all our hearts. An attitude such as this will make us worthy of being acknowledged as one of His own by God. Therefore, let us conform our actions to His Will instead of taking pride in His Power. … He will resist and reject those who have themselves turned away from Him by the injustice of their deeds.”

“Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His Disciples …
‘… do not be called “Rabbi.”
You have but one teacher, and you are all brothers.
Call no one on earth your father;
you have but one Father in heaven.
Do not be called “Master”;
you have but one master, the Christ.
The greatest among you must be your servant.
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled;
but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”‘”

“Sing with all the Saints in Glory;
Sing the Resurrection Song!
Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story,
To the former days belong.
All around the clouds are breaking.
Soon the storms of time shall cease.
In God’s likeness we awaken,
Knowing everlasting peace. ….”

Text: William J. Irons (1873); Music: Ode to Joy, Ludwig van Beethoven
