In today’s Gospel, Luke 16:1-8, Jesus has another parable for his disciples. It is the story of the rich man and his steward. Someone in the rich man’s household reported to the master that his steward had been squandering his money. Naturally the master immediately calls this servant in and asks to see a list of his expenses and the monies that he had spent.

In what way/s might I be considered an outsider by the people in my life?

In today’s Gospel (Matthew 5:1-12) Jesus is teaching his disciples. In his teaching, he gifts them with the Beatitudes. We all are familiar with the Beatitudes. However, do we take the time to sit with these eight beautiful teachings and ask ourselves: “How do I strive to be a living example of this beatitude?”
 

Remember, Jesus doesn't want perfection, he just wants perseverance.
