25th Sunday in Ordinary Time (C)

Short Reflection for the 25^th Sunday in Ordinary Time (C)

Readings:  Amos 8: 4-7; 1 Timothy 2: 1-8; Luke 16: 1-13

Selected Gospel Passage: “The master commended the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for the sons of this world are shrewder in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light. And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal habitations.” (Luke. 16: 8-9)

Meditation:  The original meaning of "shrewdness" is "practical wisdom" or "prudence". It is the ability to deal with a given situation, to see what needs to be done and to do it. We are challenged to have that foresight, discernment, and judgment (the ability to see through and understand a situation and what will likely happen if we do not take appropriate action. The Gospel teaches us how to be good and prudent stewards.The Gospel advocates good governance and administration, and faithful stewardship.
