MESSAGE FROM FR TOM
Sept. 22 - 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear Parish Family,
The Parable of the Dishonest Steward is a peculiar one. Why is it that we find Jesus at the end praising a dishonest person? To answer this question we have to be sure that we understand the parable correctly. The manager was certainly dishonest. He clearly squandered his master’s property and was being fired because of it. But it is important that we understand correctly what his actions were, once his dishonesty had been found out. Normally we presume that when he brought in his master’s debtors and reduced their bills that he was further cheating his master. But this is not the case. In the ancient world managers were given their income through commission. When the manager in the parable reduced the debtors’ bills, he was not removing his master’s profit but his own. His hope was that by giving back to the debtors what was his own, they would recognize his shrewdness and generosity. The ancient business world operated on the principle of ‘kick-backs. Once he was fired, he knew they might welcome him into their own financial operations. What is noteworthy about this dishonest manager is that he had the insight to size up his situation and realize that the only possibility for future employment and security was to give away what he presently possessed. -
