“No one can serve two masters. . . . You cannot serve God and mammon” (Matthew 6:24). Money is the “visible god” in contrast to the true God who is invisible. Mammon is the anti-God because it creates an alternative spiritual universe; it shifts the purpose of the theological virtues. Faith, Hope, and Charity are no longer placed in God but in money$$. A sinister inversion of all values occurs. Scripture says, “All things are possible to him who believes” (Mark 9:23), but the world says, “All things are possible to him who has money.” _________ Father Raniero Cantalamessa, OFM Cap Homily, Celebration of the Lords Passion 18 April 2014 TY Deb Thurston-ocds :)
