The world needs such stewards!
Blessed Sunday!
We seem to always be in desperate times. The reality is that this is not a new phenomenon. There is always something to complain about. However, complaining does not solve the problem. What can we do to improve our situation? Our Gospel Portion today, St. Luke 16:1-13, offers a positive approach to dealing with our problems. We will concentrate on the following verse,
The master commended the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.
Luke 16:8
Being shrew, being smart about interpersonal interactions is a positive thing if we are children of the light. We can make positive changes in our world. It is like a battle that we fight to make the world a better place.
How can we be more proactive as children of the light?
If we follow the example of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, we must begin with our families. Raising children who understand the reality of life and make loving decisions. Raising children like this may make the world around us a more caring place. Helping our family members be able to negotiate living out the Gospel in the present moment, hopefully, makes them live more at peace
The shrewd steward of the light is an excellent response to the world situation today and every day.
Be wise stewards of God!
