Luke 16: 1-13- 'You cannot be the slave of both God and money.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 952 (In 'Communion in Spiritual Goods') - “They had everything in common.” “Everything the true Christian has is to be regarded as a good possessed in common with everyone else. All Christians should be ready and eager to come to the help of the needy . . . and of their neighbors in want.” A Christian is a steward of the Lord’s goods.

- 2424 (In 'The Social Doctrine of the Church') - A theory that makes profit the exclusive norm and ultimate end of economic activity is morally unacceptable. The disordered desire for money cannot but produce perverse effects. It is one of the causes of the many conflicts which disturb the social order.

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Gospel Exegesis podcast.
0:15.3	We're all about helping you understand the gospel reading from today's Mass, and we want to give you an idea of the literal
0:21.2	sense of the text. What did it mean in its original context? Why did the author choose certain words?
0:27.0	What was Jesus getting at when he was saying certain things? So that's where we should start as
0:31.5	Catholics, and this is the only Catholic podcast out there where every single day we're giving
0:36.3	you the tools to do that to
0:38.2	understand the literal sense of scripture. Now today we have a really interesting reading
0:43.1	and it's particularly important that we do an exegesis on it properly because for many people
0:48.7	this is one of the hardest passages in all of the gospels and certainly many people would say that
0:54.0	this is the hardest
0:55.4	parable to interpret. So let's start with reading the text. Luke chapter 16 versus 1 to 13.
1:03.7	Jesus said to his disciples, there was a rich man, and he had a steward denounced to him for being
1:10.6	wasteful with his property. He called for the man and he had a steward denounced to him for being wasteful with his property.
1:12.6	He called for the man and said,
1:14.5	What is this I hear about you?
1:16.6	Draw me up an account of your stewardship because you are not to be my steward any longer.
1:22.6	Then the steward said to himself, now that my master is taking the stewardship away from me,
1:29.3	what am I to do?
1:30.3	Dig?
1:31.3	I'm not strong enough.
1:33.3	Go begging?
1:34.3	I should be too ashamed.
