This part of Matthew's gospel is very harsh: those who have a lot will get even more; those who don't have much, will lose even the little that they have. That may be the way that bankers decide who should get the loan that will enable a business to expand, but how do we interpret it to be the way God decides which of us receives gifts?
It may be comforting to read ahead to verses 31-46 at this point.
But, today, we are reading verses 24-30:
Prudence is punished.
Isn't prudence a virtue?
Prudence is punished.
Or, is it cowardice that is being punished? Or, is it a lack of trust in the Master?
Lectio Divina: Psalm 90:1-6
