Maybe or maybe not you have a friend like this, someone who is so good at giving grand gestures, someone who really knows how to show you a good time. But that person then, like, ghosts you for two weeks straight. If we don’t have consistency in a friendship, then it just feels empty.
And here is what Jesus is saying in this Sunday’s Gospel. Those who are trustworthy in small things are trustworthy in great ones. That before we can live that great life that Jesus has in store, we have to be consistent with him in our prayer. And so we are so good at making grand gestures like going to confession and just pouring out our whole hearts for the Lord, and then we ghost him for like two weeks. This next week, be consistent with Jesus. Visit Jesus and the blessed sacrament for 10 minutes, that’s it. It’s the small consistencies. That’s what changes the world.

The Ultimate Life Hack
Did Jesus tell us to cheat the system? Did he instruct us to falsify our tax returns? Did he give us financial advice like the mafia would? In the gospel for this Sunday. Jesus, of course, is not advocating fraud. But what Jesus is saying is that this dishonest steward was hustling, striving, putting in all this effort to make all this money. And the question is, are we hustling when it comes to Heaven? It’s easy…

Choose To Love
So we just got back from Italian. Everywhere we went, Christians were killed in those places. Those Christians who were killed. All the thousands and thousands of Christians who were martyred for the faith chose to love all those who caused them suffering. They decided to love until the end. In this Sunday’s gospel, Jesus commands very clearly. This is how you are to love that. Love demands something from us…
