Stewardship Moments: Twenty Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Among the primary themes in today’s Gospel when we hear Jesus’ well-known parable of the Prodigal Son is forgiveness and the need to repent. But from a stewardship point of view what is also interesting is one of the secondary themes: the failure to use responsibly the gifts that have been so generously bestowed. The youngest son who demanded his inheritance and left home broke no laws or religious commandments. His wrongdoing was that he wasted his inherited wealth, the abundant gifts given to him. His sin was in his extravagant living; squandering his gifts in pursuit of selfish pleasures. Good stewards acknowledge that everything they have comes from God, and they are required to cultivate these gifts responsibly. What are our God-given gifts? Do we use them responsibly? Do we exercise good stewardship over them?
Pope Francis Quote
“Before all else the Gospel invites you to respond to the God of love who saves us, to see God in others, and to go forth from ourselves to seek the good of others. All of the virtues are at the service of this response of love.” The Joy of the Gospel
