Jesus teaches his disciples an important lesson about wealth in today's Gospel. In the parable he tells them, the clever steward is applauded for finding a way to maintain his wealth despite losing his job. But this kind of wealth is not what is truly important, for true wealth is found in God. We cannot allow money (mammon) to be our master. Today, on Catechetical Sunday, let us be reminded that Jesus, our Teacher, continually teaches us the way to eternal dwellings. Our readings today challenge how we regard wealth and poverty. First, we hear the prophet Amos strongly condemn those who build wealth by cheating the poor. The psalmist declares that the Lord rescues those who are poor. Saint Paul reminds us of the wealth we have in the Lord. In the Gospel, Jesus tells his disciples that they cannot serve both God and mammon. As we listen to God's word, let us reflect on what we consider true wealth.
