Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Faith – Responsibilities”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed to His disciples, “when a great deal is given to a man on trust, more is expected of him.” Ponder on, “It is a great honour and privilege to be able to love and serve God. And, when God blesses us abundantly, we need to discern and use them for His Greater Glory; with clear priorities and focus.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 12:39-44, 48b
Jesus said to his disciples, ‘You may be quite sure of this, that if the householder had known at what time the burglar would come, he would not have let anyone break through the wall of his house. You too must stand ready, because the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect.’
Peter said, ‘Lord, do you mean this parable for us, or for everyone?’
The Lord replied, ‘What sort of steward, then, is faithful and wise enough for the master to place him over his household to give them their allowance of food at the proper time? Happy that servant if his master’s arrival finds him at this employment. I tell you truly, he will put him over everything that he owns.’
‘When a man has had a great deal given him, a great deal will be demanded of him; when a man has had a great deal given him on trust, even more will be expected of him.’
