21Sep25 (25cO25). Fr. Schneider reflects on one of Jesus’ most puzzling parables—the dishonest steward—and what it reveals about our priorities. While the world often pursues wealth, power, and comfort with great determination, we are challenged to pursue heaven and holiness with the same intensity. We are reminded to be as shrewd as serpents and as innocent as doves, wisely sacrificing what is temporary to gain what is eternal. Fr. Schneider invites us to examine our hearts, order our lives toward God, and renew our trust in Christ—who alone is our way, truth, and life.
