- Readings: Galatians, 6: 1-10
-
- Gospel: Matthew, 25: 14-30 (English & Lebanese):
-
- On the sixth Sunday after the Holy Cross, our main focus
is the Parable of the Talents. "It will be as when a man
who was 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." St. Paul explains also, in his letter to
the Galatians: "Brothers, a person will reap only what he
sows. Let us not grow tired on doing good, for in due time we
shall reap our harvest, if we do not give up." All this
week, we listen to readings about talents, and the good deeds
without tiring. Did we pay attention to the Spirit's gifts in
us? Did we know how to work these talents, so we could serve
God and our neighbors?

- Prayer to St. Therese of Lisieux
- St. Therese, you who are a beloved child of God and who boldly
trusted God's mercy, teach me how to let myself be loved by God,
who is love. Help me to fall into his arms like the prodigal
son, and to give back to God my life and my death. Help me to
open myself freely to his tenderness, so as not to take away
from his Father's heart the joy of loving me.
