Vanity of Vanities Take a moment to think about your possessions. Which ones are most precious to you? Which ones are nice, but not that important? Which ones do you feel you absolutely could not do without? Now imagine that you are the rich man in the parable in today’s Gospel reading. What are your “grain” and “goods”? Are you building bigger barns to store your treasure? If God told you that this very night your life would be demanded of you, how would you view all your possessions and all your hard work to acquire them? Consider Jesus’ words, “Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.” What feelings do his words stir in you? Is he warning you against some particular manifestation of greed in your life?
