Wolves in Sheep's Clothing
Fr. Brown
Our Lord’s warning in the Gospel for today’s Mass could not be more important for Catholics to hear in our current crisis. His words, coupled with those of past popes, and the apparitions of Our Lady of La Salette, prepare Catholics to identify the false prophets and wolves hidden within the flock. However, we must especially be vigilant in identifying and uprooting the evil habits within our own souls. Avoiding sin is not sufficient. We will only be effective in our spiritual warfare by building on the graces we received in Baptism through prayer and mortification.

Be Soldiers of Light
Fr. McMahon
The parable of this Gospel urges us to use the material things of this world to obtain something truly worthwhile. The unjust steward used his resources to gain a livelihood, but we use all the money and good we have been given to obtain a far greater reward in Heaven. St. Paul tells us in this Epistle that we are the children of light and that God is not only our Creator but our Father.
Confirmation strengthens us in the face of persecution. We need soldiers against the enemies in the world and against those within the Church. The Blessed Mother showed the torments of Hell at Fatima and warned that most people go to Hell because of sins of the flesh. Our will must be strengthened, we must avoid idleness, and be devoted to Our Lady, if we wish to be victorious soldiers of Christ. Follow the example of the heroic martyrs of Compiègne, who sacrificed all for their heavenly crown.
