[Grem] Gospel meditation (Bp.Barron)

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in today’s Gospel, we meet *a prudent steward who serves his
master wisely*. I would like to say something about prudence and wisdom. *In
the Middle Ages, prudence was called “the queen of the virtues,” because it
was the virtue that enabled one to do the right thing in a particular
situation. *

*Prudence is a feel for the moral situation, *something like the feel that
a quarterback has for the playing field. *Justice is a wonderful virtue,
but without prudence, it is blind and finally useless*.* One* *can be as
just as possible*, *but without a feel for the present situation, his
justice will do him no good.*

*Wisdom, unlike prudence, is a sense of the big picture*. *It is the view
from the hilltop.* *Most of us look at our lives from the standpoint of our
own self-interest. But wisdom is the capacity to survey reality from the
vantage point of God*. *Without wisdom, even the most prudent judgment * *will
be erroneous, short-sighted, inadequate.*

*The combination, therefore, of prudence and wisdom is especially powerful*.

*Someone who is both wise and prudent will have both a sense of the bigger
picture and a feel for the particular situation. *


*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
