Gospel: (Luke 12:13–21)
Reflection
Today’s Gospel is not a condemnation of success or wealth, it is a warning against greed, attachment, and self-reliance without God. The rich man in the parable builds bigger barns but never builds a bigger heart. He prepares for many years on earth, but not for eternity with God. His tragedy is not his harvest, it is that his treasure was in grain, not grace.
Jesus reminds us that life is not measured by possessions, productivity, or comfort, but by our capacity to love, to share, and to trust God. In a world obsessed with “more,” Christ invites us to detach, to make room for Him, and to invest in what lasts: mercy, forgiveness, generosity, gratitude, and compassion.
The greatest poverty is not lacking material goods, it is having full barns and an empty soul. Let us choose today to be “rich in what matters to God.”
Wealth is a blessing ans we should not turn into burdens on our souls.
God bless you,
Pal Ronnie
