Friday, November 7 “The children of this world are more cunning than the children of light.” Lk 16:1-8 The parable of the unjust steward may sound strange to us, and we could say that Jesus exalts corruption.

Lk. 14:1-6: “Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee.” Jesus is invited to eat at a Pharisee’s house on the Sabbath.
