Dishonest wealth The parable of the dishonest steward is not easy to understand and one of the common questions about it is: Why did the master commend the dishonest steward? One thing that can be said of this parable is that the master was not commending the steward for his dishonesty. After all, the steward was fired for his dishonesty – he was squandering his master’s property. One of the plausible explanations for this parable is that the steward had…

The lost and the found The Gospel of Luke presents three parables of what was once lost but was later found: the parables of the lost sheep (Luke 15:1–7, Matthew 18:12–14), the lost coin (Luke 15:8–10) and the prodigal son (Luke 15:11–32). Three parables which are similar and yet different in some ways. The reason I point out these similarities and differences is so that they may be used as points of reflection. All three parables are similar in the…

How far will we go? The Gospel of Luke tells us that great crowds were traveling with Jesus, but it doesn’t say why. Possibly, some were following Jesus to obtain healing or deliverance, some were hoping to be fed again since the miraculous feeding the multitude, some out of curiosity, and still some because they felt a calling to become a disciple of Christ. Jesus turned to them and using quite strong words, He said, “If anyone comes to me…
Our world is hurting. We all need healing, yet many of us are separated from the very source of our strength. Jesus Christ invites us to return to the source and summit of our faith: His Real Presence in the Eucharist. The National Eucharistic Revival is a movement to restore understanding and devotion to this great mystery. Eucharistic Revival is the response of the whole Catholic Church in the United States to this divine invitation. Our hope is to renew…

Please take your seat The parable of the invited guests in Luke 14:7-14 has two moral teachings: first, those who exalt themselves will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted. Jesus gave the example of a guest who took the place of honor at a wedding banquet, but was asked to move to a lower place. You never know if there is a more distinguished guest who would later show up at the banquet, so better…
