A MEDITATION FOR LENT
Jesus said, “The person who is trustworthy
In very small matters is also trustworthy
In great ones; and the person who is dishonest
In very small matters is also dishonest in
Great ones. If, therefore, you are not
Trustworthy with dishonest wealth who
Will trust you with true wealth?”
Luke attaches to this parable several sayings
Of Jesus to help interpret it. These sayings
Were probably spoken at different times
By Jesus, and they bring out a variety of
Teachings suggested by the parable.
The point of the Jesus’ quote above is
That His disciples must be trustworthy.
They have to live the Christian faith ass
Honestly as possible in the circumstances
Of their own lives, including responsibilities
At work, at home, in the community, and
In the parish.
That is not always easy to do, but it’s what
Disciples of Jesus who are trustworthy are
Trying to do.
Have I been a trustworthy disciple of Jesus?
Something to pray about, especially during Lent.
