All Souls Catholic Church 2 Scripture Reflection 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time "And the master commended that dishonest steward for acting prudently." It's important to pay attention to the details of the parable Jesus tells in today's Gospel. At first glance, it might seem as if Jesus is encouraging us to be dishonest. But in fact, it's just the opposite. The steward in this tale was reported to his master "for squandering his property." In other words, the steward was not being responsible with what he was in charge of. And the master was ready to fire him on account of it. But then, the steward had a change of heart. (This isn't so hard to comprehend--sometimes it takes a real threat for us to realize we need to change our ways, doesn't it?) So the steward went to the people from whom he had previously collected money to "make friends" with them. How? By reducing their debts. This might seem to be dishonest yet again, but we need to bear in mind that in the end, the master was pleased with the steward's behavior. So this debt reduction must not have affected the master's pocketbook. Rather, it seems probable that the steward had originally hiked up what the debtors owed the master and put the extra cash in his own pocket. This was the sort of extortion that was common in those days, among tax collectors for example. Now, when the steward was about to lose his position, he thought it wise to go back and return that "dishonest wealth" to the folks who had lost it, and gain some sympathy in the process. So, in the end, the steward was making up for his previous cheating behavior by doing something RIGHT and smart. It's this honest behavior that will enable him to take his place in "eternal dwellings." And surely our honest behavior will have the same effect. LPI, Inc. 25º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Parábola y advertencia es lo que nos presenta la Liturgia de la Palabra este domingo. Nos hace ver que en los tiempos del profeta Amós ya se tenían semejantes problemas de dinero. Exactamente, como los tenemos ahora en nuestra sociedad. Es por eso que el profeta en sus predicaciones denuncia y advierte las grandes injusticias que se llevaban a cabo. Sus palabras son directas y claras. Si se quiere hacer la voluntad de Dios hay que actuar bajo la influencia de ella, preocupándonos por los indefensos. "Escuchen esto los que buscan al pobre sólo para arruinarlo" (Am 8, 4). Te dicen algo estas palabras? Qué recuerdos te vienen a la mente al escucharlas? Por si acaso estamos cortos de información sobre este tema, el Señor Jesús nos aclara sobre las enseñanzas relacionadas con las riquezas. Él nos cuenta la parábola del administrador que es despedido por su patrón por estar malgastando sus bienes. Jesús advierte el cómo debemos de actuar en nuestra vida cristiana y sobre todo poner atención en los bienes futuros no en los terrenales. El Papa Francisco también nos aconseja lo siguiente: "No puedes servir a Dios y al dinero, no se puede: o el uno o el otro. Y esto no es comunismo, esto es Evangelio puro. Estas cosas son palabra de Jesús. Entonces qué pasa con el dinero?... Te va bien, te sientes un poco importante y después sobreviene la vanidad... la riqueza para sentirse suficientes, la vanidad para sentirse importante y, al final, el orgullo y la soberbia" (Meditación diaria de 20 de septiembre de 2013).

The theme is: "Prayer: The Faith Prayed." Those who the Community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith. On behalf of All Souls Catholic Church I would like to thank all those who serve in the area of catechesis It is an honor and a joy to work with so many generous and dedicated men and women. All Souls is blessed and rich in so many ways as a result of your participation in an area which is at the center of all that we do. Jesus calls us to go out to all the world and tell the Good News.
