DISCIPLESHIP AND WEALTH
Sometimes we get the idea that having material wealth is a bad thing. We may convince ourselves that it is the poor who are favored. In today’s readings, we discover that material wealth alone does not keep us from discipleship. We will see that there are other gifts more important than material wealth, but even so, it is how we use our gifts that matters most.
Today’s scriptures point to the value of the gifts of wisdom, trusting in God, and letting our actions reflect the love of God from within. It is not gold that causes us to fall, but ra-ther the desire for gold above all other things. From the readings in Wisdom and Hebrews, we find the source of God’s gifts in our lives. Wisdom is more valuable than worldly pos-sessions. In Hebrews, we are challenged to look at our own values and admit honestly what controls our lives.
Regular attendance at Mass on Sundays and Ho-ly Days of Obligation. Absent only for serious reason, e.g. illness.
Registered in the Parish, receiving and using weekly envelopes, supporting the Parish accord-ing to the best of one’s ability.
Volunteers and participates in Parish activities with time, talent, and resources as means per-mit.
