Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 16, 1-8
On a sabbath Jesus went to dine
at the home of one of the leading Pharisees,
and the people there were observing him carefully.
In front of him there was a man suffering from dropsy.
Jesus spoke to the scholars of the law and Pharisees in reply, asking,
“Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath or not?”
But they kept silent; so he took the man and,
after he had healed him, dismissed him.
Then he said to them
“Who among you, if your son or ox falls into a cistern,
would not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?”
But they were unable to answer his question.
Administer
1. Squandering. Life is the most valuable treasure that God gives us. But there are times when you waste your life. You may think you are the owner but excuse me for reminding you, but you are the administrator. Unfortunately, some of us are a little bit lazy and we are not living our life fully as we should. In life, you can have certain weaknesses, but God can also grant you the right thing at just the right moment. Learn to administer your life because life has a way of holding you accountable and that method of keeping you answerable and responsible is time. Sooner or later, time will hold you accountable for your life.
2. Call the debtors. We must have the ability to negotiate, but for good. We must learn to forgive and learn to ask for forgiveness. We must seek help in friendship and fraternity to face the hard moments of life. Do not go through the difficult moments of life alone. Do not isolate yourself because this is the way you lose out. Look for the support of your family, good friends, and church groups. Look for those who have a positive effect on your life. And if you are part of the Church, please, do not exclude the brother or sister who is going through a rough time. On the contrary, welcome and protect them. If we call ourselves believers, we cannot ignore someone who is suffering.
3. Astute. You and I are invited to spread the Gospel with maximum strength! We must have the fortitude to announce the Gospel and be clever enough to find the way to get the message across to others. Being missionaries means being astute to show life’s truth through the Good News.
Remember that something good is on the way!
God bless you, be with you and protect you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
