Page 2 A Word From...
Matthew 18:22
In today’s readings, Christ challenges us to be resourceful in the pursuit of
the Kingdom of God. Just as Godless people can be clever in their selfish
pursuits and ambitions; the children of God must be smart in the Lord’s
service and use their wits to come through, and help others to come
through the narrow gate of Heaven.
It seems that even in millennia, “there is nothing new under the sun.” An-
cient civilizations used fraudulent business practices to make quick money.
In today’s headline news we read about dubious people who use their
genius to enrich their lives while defrauding the others in society; then and
now people selfishly grab or use who and what they can to obtain status
and power. Certainly you’ve read all about it…athletes that are afraid they
won’t excel in sports try performance enhancing drugs. Others who do not
take responsible care of their own identity will steal someone else’s.
Some parents teach their children they can buy their way into anything, if
you make a sizeable enough donation. Got God? Yes? Then God must
be first in your life. Nothing else counts.
In today’s readings we are challenged to put God first in everything we do.
We are encouraged to become better stewards of the gifts that God has
given to us. We learn that when we become self-centered and make our-
selves our primary concern in life, we become “blind” to the needs of oth-
ers. Our blindness will prevent us from seeing the face of Jesus in the
least of our brothers and sisters, and we will fail Him.
With this in mind, our first reading, from the prophet Amos (Amos 8:4-7,)
teaches us about the insensitive, immoral Hebrew traders that despised
the needy and the poor. They deceptively took advantage of the less fortu-
nate by tampering with the money scales, offering defective goods, inflat-
ing prices during food and housing shortages to enrich themselves with
bigger profits. Amos tells us about their desire and love for money; their
ambitions blinded them and caused them to forget about putting God first
in their lives. Consequently, they ignored the plight and suffering of the
poor in their community. In our first reading, the prophet Amos condemns
this frame of mind. People who engage in dishonest and fraudulent activi-
ties to deceive others, he said, cannot deceive the Lord. The Lord warns,
“Surely I will never forget any of their deeds”.
St. Paul tells us in 1 Timothy 2:1-8, (our Second reading) that it is God’s
desire that all people be saved. It is God’s desire that He be first in all of
our lives. St. Paul reminds us to offer supplications, prayers, petitions, and
thanksgiving for everyone, for kings and for all in authority, so that we may
live quiet, religious, reverent lives in dignity and devotion to God. We
should offer fervent prayers for our Holy Father, Pope Francis, all religious
leaders, world leaders and especially for leaders in our country, that the
Lord will lead them in His righteousness, make their ways straight before
them, for wisdom in leadership, peace, calm and justice.
The Choice,..God or Mammon?
So What’s New
Under the “SON?”
A Bulletin Reflection by
Deacon James Ogbonna
In our Gospel reading today (Luke 16:1-13), Christ tells us the parable of
the unjust and dishonest steward who is forced to give an accounting to his
master. The steward was irresponsible in dealing with his master’s goods
and was also dishonest in asking his master’s debtors to rewrite their ac-
counts so that he could benefit from their effort in his future.
The master commended his shrewd steward’s behavior; his quick-thinking
and his firm resolve to make the most out of a difficult situation and to pre-
pare for his future since he knew he was about to be dismissed. The way-
ward steward did not give in to discouragement or feel sorry for himself.
Instead he tried to turn this negative circumstance into a positive plan for his
future.
Jesus was not praising the actions of this dishonest servant. He was not
encouraging his disciples to emulate dishonesty. Rather he was praising
the prudence of the servant for using his wits in a critical situation. This
soon to be fired, self-willed servant implemented a plan that would leave the
master’s business associates indebted to him for future favors.
Jesus used this parable to teach us the need for foresight, prudence, and
wisdom in working out our salvation and in building up the kingdom of God.
He said “for the sons of this world are wiser in their own generation than the
sons of light.” (Luke 16:1-13)
A taste of “heaven on earth” might be realized if all who devise ways to
cheat, commit fraud, or just generally cannot manage to do the right thing
would use their intelligence to serve the kingdom of God. Imagine if there
were a 1800 and the devious did what they could to help lead those in need
of mercy squeeze through the narrow gate into the Kingdom of God. We
certainly would have a different society than we have now. That is what
Christ is teaching all of us in today’s Gospel reading.
We are challenged to imitate the willful steward’s shrewdness, not his dis-
honesty. We must not be timid, but bold in our efforts to help others. The
Lord has given us the necessary resources and tools to do this work for
him. He has equipped us with truth, faith and empowered us through the in-
dwelling of the Holy Spirit. The time will come when God shall judge the
righteous and the wicked: for there is a time for every purpose and for every
work, a time when we will be called upon to render an account of how we
invested and managed the gifts that He gave to us to further His work and
our stewardship.
We must put the same great amount of zeal into the service of God as we
do to secure other important goals in the life that He has given us. We are
to pursue this undertaking in both a material and a spiritual dimension and
manage our resources. In the material dimension we must show sufficient
concern and care for the needs of others. In the spiritual dimension we
must make great efforts to win heaven and lead as many other souls in the
heavenly direction as possible. If we put the zeal we put into earthly affairs
into our spiritual life then there is no obstacle that can prevent us from mak-
ing it through Heaven’s Gate.
Christ sees all of us as his clever stewards. He trusts us with his beloved
creations to always do the next right thing, provide care for those in need,
love one another, labor for justice and pursue peace. It is the business of
all us individually and collectively to seek the realization of these goals.
We must begin to think “forward” and take action now to build those friend-
ships, invest all our worldly and spiritual resources in to a gain for the only
thing that matters in the end; the right things that are and have been. That
will be something new under the sun. Doing the right things, emulating
Christ, will take us all through the Gate to Heaven. +

Remembering the Sick in Prayer
We now approach the Father through the One Mediator, Jesus Christ,
and we present all our needs.
For God's Holy Church throughout the world, and for all entrusted with
the ministry of the Gospel.
For the priests serving in this Diocese, that they will be single minded in
Gods service.
For all those called to the priesthood or consecrated life in this Diocese,
that they will generously answer the call.
That as Christian Stewards we will follow God’s Word and put Him first
in all areas of our lives.
That God may bless the efforts of governments to ensure a fair and
plentiful distribution of the goods of this world.
That the concerns people have about money may never be greater than
their readiness to welcome and cherish the gift of children.
For the sick, that they be comforted and healed according to God's will.
That those who have died may be purified and share the joys of ever-
lasting life.

Gospel Reading: Luke 16:1-13
Jesus tells a parable about a dishonest stew-
ard who is commended for his prudence; one
cannot serve both God and money.
Background on the Gospel Reading: To-
day's Gospel sounds puzzling to contempo-
rary readers, but it can be made less so by
considering the economic system which stands behind the parable. A steward
is dismissed because he is squandering his master's property. He is called
dishonest because he is not serving the interests of the rich man, his employ-
er. In response the steward, in an attempt to ensure favor for himself among
the rich man's debtors, brokers repayment of the rich man's loans by foregoing
the interest and fees that had been levied to line the steward's pockets. It is
this action, in which the steward puts aside his greed and takes the longer
perspective in order to enhance his security, which is commended by the rich
man.
The passage concludes with three morals for the listeners. The first exhorts
the listener to be prudent about the use of wealth. Like the steward in the
parable, those who would follow Jesus must put transitory affairs in proper
perspective. Christians should handle the affairs of temporal life with an eye
toward eternal life.
The second concerns trustworthiness. Those who can be trusted in small
things can also be trusted in great things. If Christians handle money and
other passing things responsibly, then they can also be trusted with the affairs
of the Kingdom of God. Finally, Jesus tells his listeners that no one can serve
two masters simultaneously. God must be put ahead of money. +
Sunday Connection 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time
After today’s readings, we can’t say we have not been warned about the
dangers of mixed up priorities. God’s Word is so very clear today on the
necessity of putting Him first in all areas of our lives
We see this in the First Reading from Amos. The Lord has harsh words for
those who would take advantage of the poor,
and whose priorities are not aligned with God’s.
In the Second Reading from St. Paul’s letter to
Timothy, Paul gives us the antidote to the self-
centeredness condemned in our First Reading.
The antidote is to imitate Christ, “who gave Him-
self as a ransom for all.” Rather than thinking of
Himself and how to “get ahead,” Christ gave Himself away — completely
— for our sake. That is how we are to live.
In our Gospel passage from Luke, the Lord shows us how to bridge the
gap between worldly thinking and priorities, and eternal thinking and priori-
ties. Jesus tells the parable of the corrupt but clever steward who is about
the get fired when the master discovers the steward has been squandering
his property. Realizing his imminent unemployed status, the clever steward
reaches out to the various debtors of his master to wheel and deal with
them, making friends who would look out for him when he became job-
less.
What if we put that kind of effort into our own tasks as good stewards of all
God’s gifts to us? Into our ministries, into the ways we could make more
time for prayer as individuals, as couples, as families and as a parish?
What if we got as creative as the “bad steward” in the use of our finances
so that we could give more generously to the poor and to the advancement
of God’s kingdom on the earth? That’s our lesson and our challenge. +

Soto reminds us that we are all saved by the mercy of our crucified Lord,
who shared in our suffering and sacrificed himself for our sake. When we
give ourselves through the Annual Catholic Appeal, we join Catholic Chari-
ties…and our own parish outreach…to bring the mercy of Christ to those
who suffer in the margins.
Thank you for your heartfelt response in 2019!
Parish Social Service Ministries (Angels of Mercy efforts) received 25% of
the funds contributed to the 2019 Annual Catholic Appeal. May God bless
you abundantly for your generosity. Divine Mercy Catholic Church re-
ceived a check from the Diocese for $5,792.00. Your participation in the
