11-16-08 Roman Catholic Homily by Fr. Richard Simon for 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time on November 16, 2008 - Part 1 of 2. It is far better to be a slave than free person! Fr. Simon's homily explains about The Master entrusting talents to three of his servants. But, Fr. Simon (a Greek teacher & scholar) explains that the Greek word is not "servant" but is "slave" which, as he explains, puts a very unique meaning to today's Gospel reading ( Matthew 25:14-30). Utterly fascinating!
