And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of you? give an account of your stewardship; for you may be no longer steward.
All Commentaries on Luke 16:2 Go To Luke 16
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
And he called him Such are the words which our Lord daily addresses to us. We daily see persons equally healthy, and likely to live as ourselves, suddenly summoned by death, to give an account of their stewardship. Happy summons to the faithful servant, who has reason to hope in his faithful administration. Not so to the unfaithful steward, whose pursuits are earthly: death to him is terrible indeed, and his exit is filled with sorrow. All thunder-stricken at these words, "now thou canst be steward no longer "he says within himself, what shall I do! (St. Thomas Aquinas)
