A right focus

Notice in parish newsletter ‘Lost a black leather wallet containing precious family photos, personal ID documents and eight hundred seventy-five Euro in cash. Finder can keep the photos and ID, but please return the cash for sentimental reasons.’ It didn’t happen of course but the sentiment is closer to us than we care to admit.

It is a bitter-sweet truth that we will do anything for money and precious little for God at times. We have all seen that quarrels over inheritance can provoke bitterness and enmity in the closest of families. Wisely, Jesus in today’s Gospel refuses to take sides in a case and points out what often lies at the root of a quarrel - greed for gain, the love of money. We still have to learn the wisdom of the psalm where the ‘shortness of our life… gains us wisdom of heart’.

SSIA dosh and Pension plans may offer a financial carpet for a more secure future. But what is it that assures life? It’s not abundant reserves of grain storehouses. ’To be rich in the sight of God,’ is to give and to share, to seek life where life is to be found. Go figure.

Please Note:

All items for the Newsletter must be in before Lunchtime on Wednesday.

Sponsorship of the Newsletter for the month of August is courtesy of
