Matthew 25:14
Douay-Rheims
For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods;
Gregory the Great
(Hom. in Ev. ix, l.) The man travelling into a far country is our Redeemer, who ascended into heaven in that flesh which He had taken upon Him. For the proper home of the flesh is the earth, and it, as it were, travels into a foreign country, when it is placed by the Redeemer in heaven.
