If God, then, so clothes the grass, which is today in
the field and tomorrow cast into the oven; how much more will He
clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Seek not what ye shall eat or drink. Neither be of a doubtful mind.
For these same things do all the nations of the world seek after, and
your Father knows that ye have need of these things. Instead, seek ye
the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added to you.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give
you the kingdom. Sell what you have and give alms. Provide yourselves
with purses that do not wear out, a treasure in the heavens that does
not fail, where no thief approaches, nor moth corrupts. For where your
treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Let your loins be girded about and your lights kept burning. Be like
those who wait for their lord to return from the wedding that, when he
comes and knocks, they are ready to welcome him instantly. Blessed are
those servants, who, when the lord comes, He finds ready and waiting.
And consider this, if the good man of the house had known what hour
the thief would come, he would have watched, and not suffered his
house to be broken into. So, be ready because the Son of man comes at
an hour when you think not.
Then Peter said to Him, Lord, will you speak more about this parable
to us, or even to all? The Lord said, Who, then, is that faithful and
wise steward whom his lord shall make ruler over his household to
justly give out the portions of meat in due season? Blessed is that
servant whom his lord, when he comes, shall find already doing so.
