25th Sunday in Ordinary Time - The Parable of the Unjust Steward Luke 16:1-13
‘You cannot be the slave of both God and money.’ To be a slave is to be owned by somebody or something. As Christians we are owned by God in as much as we are made in God’s image and at baptism we are claimed for Christ in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. To be owned by God is to be secure in our deepest identity. But we only need look around us to see that we live in a world where many are a slave not to God, but to money - that is, rather than earn money as a means of paying for things they need. They are owned by money or the pursuit of it. This kind of disordered attachment can have serious consequences for our lives. It might mean we never see our spouse or children because of the long hours spent at the office. It might mean we start to look for morally or legally dubious shortcuts for making money and getting rich quick. When we live with God as our first priority, our life is ordered rightly and everything else flows in right order.
