Meditation: Generous giving is rewarded with treasure that lasts forever
What's the point of Jesus' parable? Jesus did not praise the steward for his dishonest behavior but for his shrewd foresight in relieving the debts of others who he believed would, in turn, treat him as a friend and show him mercy, kindness, and generosity in his time of need and great want. Jesus immediately followed this parable with an exhortation to his followers to make use of the world's material goods, including "tainted money" (which in Hebrew means "unrighteous mammon"), to relieve those who are indebted to us for the material and physical help we give them in their time of need and want. In the Scriptures generous giving is connected with alms giving - the sharing of our financial and material resources with those in need (Luke 12:33). Those who receive alms become your friends because you are merciful to them in their time of need. And God who sees all, rewards those who are generous in helping others.
Paul the Apostle reminds us, "We brought nothing into this world and we cannot take anything out of this world" (1 Timothy 6:7). The Lord Jesus wants us to make good use of all the resources that he gives us and that come into our possession. Our life is short - but how we invest in this present life will determine our future in the age to come when the Lord Jesus will raise our mortal bodies to immortality and give to each what he or she has sown in this present life.

Wellness Matters From Our Parish Health Nurse, Lisa Bohrer
Walking is a simple and inexpensive exercise that has been
shown to offer numerous benefits for bones, muscles and joints.
Wear shoes that support the arch and elevate the heel slightly.
Warm up by walking at a normal pace for five minutes then
boost your pace so your heart beats faster and your lungs
breathe deeper. While walking, swing your arms; keep your head up, back
straight, and abdomen flat. Cool down by walking at your warm up pace for
five minutes and do gentle stretching after your walk.
