朋友们，像今天福音中的管家一样，我们必须定期审视自己。我们的长处和短处是什么？什么方面需要改善？哪些方面的状态不是特别的好？我们擅长祈祷吗？我们经常参与圣事吗？我们参与弥撒吗？我们的生活是否集中于物质上和精神上的善行？我们公开反抗非正义和道德邪恶？

 

还有，就像福音中的管家一样，我们必须精明行事、意志坚定、大胆无畏。在精神生活中不要再优柔寡断了！行动时刻就是当下。今天，让我们致力于把耶稣基督及其要求作为生活中无可争议的中心。

 

Friends, like the steward in today's Gospel, we must regularly take a hard took at ourselves. What are our strengths and our weaknesses? Where do we need improvement? Where are we not in particularly good shape? Is our prayer life strong? Do we frequent the sacraments? Do we participate in the Mass? Are our lives focused around the corporal and spiritual works of mercy? Do we speak out against injustices and moral evils?

 

And, like the steward, we must act with cleverness, firmness of purpose, and boldness. Enough wishy-washiness in the spiritual life! The time for action is now. Today, commit to making Jesus Christ and his demands the undisputed center of your life.
