September 18, 2022: 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Jesus offers a strange parable, but the master's commendation of the dishonest steward's response to the pending termination of his employment is a call for us as people of faith to step up and embrace the gifts God has granted us, rather than focusing on our own gain.

He saved us through Jesus Christ, Who is our mediator before God always.  So now, in faith, we reach out to do good for others, seeking to support authorities, and also tending to the needs of the poor.

Ultimately, what we do with our resources reflects whether we serve mammon, which is our wealth, or if we served God.  We seek transformation of our hearts to direct our resources toward noble purposes that make God known.
