The   first   reading   from   Ecclesiastes,   reminds  us   that   the   greedy   acquisition   of   goods   and  the  selfish   hoarding   of   them   are   useless.   In   the  Responsorial   Psalm   (Ps   90),   the   Psalmist   challenges  us   to   listen   to   God   and   allow   Him   to   soften   our  hearts   that  we  may  share  our  blessings  with  others.  In   the   second   reading,   Paul   directs   our   attention   to  lasting   Heavenly   treasures   and   advises,   "Put   to  death,   your   parts   that   are   earthly:   immorality,  impurity,   passion,   evil   desire,   and   the   greed   that   is  idolatry”(Colossians  3:  5).  

In   today’s   Gospel,   Jesus   tells   the  parable  of  the  foolish  rich  man.  He  warns  us  against  all  types  of   greed,   because   greed   takes   our   life’s   focus   away  from  God   and   away   from   serving   and   loving  Him   in  other  people.    

We   are   invited   to   share   our   blessings   with  others.   We   must   be   generous  in   sharing  our   time,  our   treasure,   and   our   talents   in   Christian  stewardship.  Even  if  we  may  be  poor   financially,  we  may   be   blessed   with   intelligence,   good   will,   the  ability   to   console,   encourage,   inspire   and   support  and  help  others.  God  expects  us  to  give  our  thanks  to  Him   for   all   these   blessings   by   sharing   them   with  others  for  His  glory.  Let  us  ask  generous  God  to  help  us  to  over  come  the  temptation  of  greed  if  we  have  it  in  any  form.    

Fr.  Mariadas  Chatla
