Jesus' parable of the devious steward is not teaching us to be devious! Rather, we find here an invitation to "work" a "system" as this man worked the economic system, which was all he could see. Our "system" to "work" is creation itself. We are to develop a sense of wonder toward God who, in his creation, constantly expresses his love for us.

Self-righteousness is hard to get rid of; after all, it feels so good! But we can trade it in for something better. May we confront ourselves in a healthy manner so as to accept the sense of peace which is far better than self-righteousness.
