BE FAITHFUL AND PRUDENT OVER GOD'S BUSINESS.

THE FAITHFUL AND PRUDENT SERVANT.

THE GOODNEWS:

"Jesus said to his disciples: 

“Be sure of this:

if the master of the house had known the hour

when the thief was coming,

he would not have let his house be broken into.

You also must be prepared,

for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”

Then Peter said,

“Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?”

And the Lord replied,

“Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward

whom the master will put in charge of his servants

to distribute the food allowance at the proper time?

Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so.

Truly, I say to you, he will put him

in charge of all his property.

But if that servant says to himself,

‘My master is delayed in coming,’

and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants,

to eat and drink and get drunk,

then that servant’s master will come

on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour

and will punish the servant severely

and assign him a place with the unfaithful.

That servant who knew his master’s will

but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will

shall be beaten severely;

and the servant who was ignorant of his master’s will

but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating

shall be beaten only lightly. 

Much will be required of the person entrusted with much,

and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.” (Luke 12: 39 - 48).

My friend, has God given you much in life? To answer the question truthfully and comprehensively, consider the following areas of your life:

1. Family.

2. Health.

3. Money.

4. Job.

5. Tools.

6. Food.

7. Future.

When I did a similar reflection several years ago, I was astonished.

"Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.”

When I read the above, I knew I was in trouble.

God is merciful. I threw myself into the merciful love of God. That was many years ago.

Today I commit myself to make up for lost time and ground.

Everyday, I engage myself to grow to know Jesus more through:

1. Daily Prayer.

2. Daily Bible Verse.

3. Communion.

4. Confession.

5. Daily Examination of conscience.

6. Daily Spiritual Reading.

7. Sharing my faith through Blogs.

"Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.”

Lord Jesus, I trust in Your merciful love. I cling tightly to this love. I surrender myself completely to You. Take care of everything Your way according to Your Plan for my life.

What do you do if you can not negotiate your final moment or place of transition from this world?

Pray always. Pray everywhere. Pray for everything.

Read the word of God every day.

Receive the Eucharist as often as you can.

Jesus Christ, the Leader of our Faith has bestowed a lot to His Church.

"Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.”

"You did the right thing in coming to Me with your feelings of aloneness. I am here for you, and you, you are here for Me, only for Me, and for no other. Do you think that I will not honour the sacrifice you made in coming to live here for Me, with Me, close to Me by day and by night? Understand just a little the sorrow of My Eucharistic Heart that is utterly forsaken in countless tabernacles all over the world. Why do I multiply My glorious presence in so real and miraculous a way, if not to be close to the souls whom I love with a burning passion and with a consummate tenderness? And I am left alone. Often I am forgotten from one week to the next or, worse yet, I am treated like a thing, like a commodity kept in reserve in case of need. This was not My intention in instituting this Sacrament of My redeeming love." (IN SINU JESU, Sunday, October 19, 2008 Saint Paul of the Cross).

October is the Month the Church honors the Most Holy Rosary.

“Go to the Madonna. Love her! Always say the Rosary. Say it well. Say it as often as you can! Be souls of prayer. Never tire of praying, it is what is essential. Prayer shakes the Heart of God, it obtains necessary graces!” (St. Padre Pio).

Say the Holy Rosary every day in October.
