Jesus said to his disciples, “There was once a man who set out on a journey. Before he left,
he summoned his servants; to one he gave five talents (a large amount of money in those days), to
another he gave two talents and to a third he gave one talent. After a long time he returned. The
servant who had received five talents had made five more, and the servant who had two talents had
made two more. The master was delighted and said to them, ‘Well done, good and faithful servants;
come and share your master’s joy.’ But the servant who had been given one talent had just buried it
in the ground and then dug it up and returned it to his master. The master was angry and had that
lazy servant thrown out.”
What did the good servants do with their talents?

2 SHARE & CARE! Growing in Goodness & Love : This Wednesday’s Word...
“No talent, no matter how small, is to
TALENT
be hidden or left unused.”
St John Paul II
When we share our individual talents, our families and communities are
enriched. Each of you talk about a talent that you admire in a friend,
a teacher or someone in your community who uses their talents well – to
serve God and help others. Is there a talent you would like to develop?
Who could you ask to help you? In this coming week, how could you use
your talents to show your love for God and for the good of others at
home, at school or in the community?
Ask your child what the word ‘talent’ means to them. Everybody
has some God-given gifts or talents. They might not be as obvious
as being good at sport, or acting, or singing, but they are just as
valuable and please God greatly (e.g. helping out someone who
is new to school, being able to cheer people up, or simply being a
patient listener or a good friend). As a family, name each other’s
special talents. Each of you say which talent you are especially
grateful to God for.

Dear Lord Jesus, help us to develop our talents and to know how we
can use them for the good of others in this coming week. Amen.

Our happiness comes from giving, just as much as it comes
from receiving. Each one of us has special talents. God wants
us to use our talents to help people who are in need –
people around us and people all over the world.
