Trust Or Faith

The person who is trustworthy in small matters is also trustworthy in great ones. - St. Luke 16:10; 16:9-15 We practice trust all the time We trust other people – pilots, plumbers, teachers, letter carriers, car mechanics, Church ministers,Engineers Closer to home, we trust our spouse, children, friends and neighbors We trust things too The chair we sit on, the car we drive, the steps we walk down, the bridge we drive over everyday We would not live a normal life without trust Trust is a glue that holds the community together It makes society possible That’s why dishonesty and betrayal are such serious offenses They not only damage a personal relationship They wear away the larger community Today’s Gospel reminds us of the importance of personal integrity How trustworthy am I in small and great matters? Whom do I trust? How much do I really trust Eternal God? Note: Eternal God, I thank You for all the trustworthy people and things in my life.
