In today's gospel passage (Lk 12:39-48), Jesus is telling his disciples a story - one of those famous parables, this time about a faithful steward. When he finishes the story, Peter asks: Is this parable meant for us or for everyone? and Jesus replies with another question: Who then is the faithful and prudent steward who the master will put in charge of his servants to distribute their food allowance at the proper time?
Perhaps the disciples were surprised to learn that Jesus considered them all as his faithful and prudent stewards. Perhaps we too might be surprised to think that Jesus considers us in the same way, but this is the case. We are the ones who Jesus trusts to share the joy that is in our hearts with the children in our classes. We are the ones who Jesus trusts to greet parents with kindness, to listen to their concerns and to help them to discover the reason for our joy.
Have a great day today.
