Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Genuine Riches” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminded His apostles, that if the temptations of the “material riches of money” are very great, then how can God trust us with more ‘genuine spiritual riches?” Ponder on, “Are our lives dominated more by ‘material riches or spiritual riches’? What is God saying to us here and now?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 16:10-13
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘The man who can be trusted in little things can be trusted in great; the man who is dishonest in little things will be dishonest in great. If then you cannot be trusted with money, that tainted thing, who will trust you with genuine riches? And if you cannot be trusted with what is not yours, who will give you what is your very own?
‘No servant can be the slave of two masters: he will either hate the first and love the second, or treat to the first with respect and the second with scorn. You cannot be the slave both of God and of money.’
