Sunday Of The Steward

We are obligated to manage our God-given life wisely. To ensure that our lives are not lost in vain, God bestowed upon humanity the Incarnation of the Only Begotten Son. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ sacrificed His life for the salvation of humanity.

The Sunday of the Unjust Steward is named after the parable told by Christ, our Lord. It is often misinterpreted. “The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness” (Luke 16:8). Christ’s reference is not for the steward’s wrongful act but because of the steward’s realization of his misconduct. Some forget that Christ is referring to self-consciousness of the steward who realized that the lifestyle which he leads is wrong. Our lives are filled with flaws. It is essential that we realize our flaws and wrongdoings and correct ourselves, for God is forgiving and desires our return.

Let the Lenten Journey be the calling to evaluate the course of our lives, strengthen our relationship with God and become God’s exemplary stewards in society.
