31st Week, Ordinary Time, Saturday, 11-11-2023

Romans 16:3-9, 16, 22-27 / Luke 16:9-15  

It would be so unfortunate, to say the least, if we were to say that we can’t trust anyone, or that we don’t trust anyone.

That would mean that we would be a very lonely person, even though there may be people around us.

But it is unlikely that we would say such a thing and mean it.

Because if we really can’t trust anyone or don’t trust anyone, then life would be so miserable because we will be suspicious of everyone.

In the gospel, Jesus something that we are very familiar with when He spoke about trust and honesty.

Jesus used the image of money, and we would have no trouble understanding it because we know how desirable it is to have money.

But Jesus used the image of money to teach about trust and honesty.

A person who can be trusted in little things can be trusted in great.

On the other hand, a person who is dishonest in little things will be dishonest in great.

So, let honesty be our best policy, and may others see us as trustworthy.

By doing so, we bear witness to the God in whom we believe and trust in.
