Growth Requires Risk – Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

Friends, the great parable at the heart of our Gospel today—the parable of the talents—is taken from the world of economics. Jesus often draws upon this world when describing the dynamics of the spiritual life. And here, he gives us an image of growth through risk and a willingness to invest what we’ve been given. The analogy might seem coldly grim, but this is how it works in the spiritual order!
