WEEKLY MEDITATION

In these times in which we live, we know it is difficult for many people to understand the words of this Gospel Reading, much less follow them. We all know very well how difficult following Jesus and his teachings can be. This is because what he asks of us is that we make him the most important person in our lives. He asks us to place him above everything else, even those things and people that we consider to be most important to us. He asks us to leave everything behind, just as he asked the young rich man in today=s Gospel Reading, giving up anything that will weigh us down as we try to follow him more closely. The Lord wants us to have a good, comfortable life. What he does not approve of is inordinate wealth or wealth that is ill-gained. That is why he asks us to be less reliant on material wealth and to use well the wealth we have, enjoying it as we help others who are in need. We should be careful so as not to allow our minds and our hearts become attached to the need to increase our wealth, or to the inordinate desire to acquire more and more wealth every day. How can we follow the teachings of this Gospel Reading if all we think of is how to make more money at whatever cost? We cannot follow God if our mind is operating on another wavelength, and if we are greedy and ambitious. Money does not bring happiness.

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK 

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
