Romans 15:14-21; Psalm 98; Luke 16:1-8

Be always ready!

Jesus is not recommending a life of trickery and cunning to us. Far from it! Rather, he is asking us to reflect on what we must do now in order to prepare for our future life. How do we store up ‘treasures in heaven’? The dishonest manager reveals the wisdom hidden in three simple words: ‘See, Judge, Act’. That is what we are called to do each and every day so we will be ready when called to give an account of our lives - to see, judge and act in a way that will store up ‘treasures in heaven’.
