Luke 19[/caption]This Sunday’s reading is a tricky one. Is Our Lord encouraging embezzlement?

I can’t find a particular colour page. This parable fits between the Good Samaritan and No Man Can Serve Two Masters. The latter brings in some flack from the Pharisees, so I figured this picture will do, though I don’t think he was actually teaching in the temple this time.

Here is the printable colouring page: Pentecost08 – using Fr Nadal’s work again.

recípiant vos in ætérna tabernácula.

they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.

At that time, Jesus spoke to His disciples this parable: There was a certain rich man who had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods; and he called him, and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship, for now thou canst be steward no longer. And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig, I am not able: to beg, I am ashamed. I know what I will do, that when I shall be put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. Therefore calling together every one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord? But he said: A hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: A hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, and write eighty. And the lord commended the unjust steward, for as much as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity, that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.
