"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.” (Luke 16:10) Before saying this, Jesus lamented, “The people of this world are shrewder in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.” Jesus was referring to the shrewd but dishonest manager, who manipulated his master’s accounting records with debtors to ensure his unemployed benefits. The point was to remind His own apostles that they have not yet completely dedicated themselves to the service of God’s kingdom. I know a Romanian priest who served the parish at the time when Romania was ruled under communist. He held mass at 8:00am daily, but very few attended. However, the Communist headquarters would be busy. He observed that the Communist office opened at 4:00am daily to welcome farmers passing by to stop by. The priest decided to open the church at the same time and offer confessions at that hour. As a result, more people started coming into the Church and attending mass. We might consider important “things” such as the saving of souls to be God’s work; but little “things” that we can do, like a small act of charity, can attract others to begin learning about the Good News of the Gospel.
