Lectio: Lk 16.9-15                 

Meditatio: "No servant can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Lk 16.15

Oratio: O God, you know how a divided heart cam easily lead us astray.

I remember Your Son warned us that we could not serve You and serve mammon. He knew that if we were attached to material things, they soon become  gods in our llife and will become the source to whom we pary our allegiance instead of You, our most loving and only true God. In prayer seek the grace of detachment from material things using them to help us but not letting them become the object of our love and devotion..

I ask this and all things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Contemplatio: spend some time in silence and meditate on the selected passage and hear what
God is saying to you.

Operatio: reflect: "cannot....God...mammon"; it is so important that we keep our priorities right - that God alone is God and all others and things are given to us to lead us back to Him and not to be a substitute for Him. Seek the grace to love God with an undivided heart so no one, no thing, will ever take His rightful place and we will be acting p prudently as He so wants us to.
