Reflect:
Today’s Gospel from Luke 16 tells us that we cannot serve both God and money. Now does this mean that if we follow God we have to be poor? Absolutely not. However, it is a BIG caution to us about the importance we can give money. I have met people both rich and poor who had money as the center of their existence. And I have met wealthy people as well as those in poverty who put God first in their lives. What we must do is not focus on the money so much. Money is just an exchange tool for getting something we need or want. It can't be the end goal. God needs to be the end goal and our reason for being. Put your life in his hands, serving him above all... and don't worry about the money. He will provide.
