Commentary
Each with His Own Work
The man “leaves home and places
his servants in charge, each with his own work.”
As a result, the best thing one
can do to remain watchful and alert is to carry out the task given to him/her.
In the context of the
Liturgical Calendar, we now begin a new year, with the readings of the Gospel
According to Mark. However, the two passages
from Matthew for the last two Sundays of the previous liturgical year transitioned
smoothly into today’s passage.
In the parable of the talents,
the master of the house entrusted with his servants different amounts, “each
according to his ability” (Matthew 25: 15).
Then, in the parable of the
judgment of the nations, the work given to each follower of Christ is to be
carried out in feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and caring for those in
need….
That is the work of building the
Kingdom and at the same time preparing for the return of the King. This task has been entrusted to us, “each
with his own work.”
