Reflection Monday 21 October, 2013 We are warned today about the accumulation and desire for earthly things. We can learn, I pray. It is the reason why many can not grow spiritually, For their heart is not singularly on God. May we learn it is better to live being poor with God than to be rich without. Its not so much the exterior manifestation of what is done with money as much as the interior actions and trust of the person. Today may we consider the lilies of the field... May we learn to live in open trust to bloom as beautifully. Gospel Luke 12:13-21 A man in the crowd said to Jesus, ‘Master, tell my brother to give me a share of our inheritance.’ ‘My friend,’ he replied, ‘who appointed me your judge, or the arbitrator of your claims?’ Then he said to them, ‘Watch, and be on your guard against avarice of any kind, for a man’s life is not made secure by what he owns, even when he has more than he needs.’ Then he told them a parable: ‘There was once a rich man who, having had a good harvest from his land, thought to himself, “What am I to do? I have not enough room to store my crops.” Then he said, “This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in them, and I will say to my soul: My soul, you have plenty of good things laid by for many years to come; take things easy, eat, drink, have a good time.” But God said to him, “Fool! This very night the demand will be made for your soul; and this hoard of yours, whose will it be then?.” So it is when a man stores up treasure for himself in place of making himself rich in the sight of God.’
