“If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.” Today’s readings contain God’s challenge to reassess life’s priorities and live accordingly. “Vanity of vanities…..All things are vanity,” shouts the preacher who offers a sober evaluation of life and work. He questions the value of someone working so hard to acquire a fortune that on death will go to an idle, lazy person. Trust should be placed in what matters. Paul answers the question raised by the First Reading. Ultimately, our priority should be set on “what is above, not what is on earth.” In Baptism, we have died with Christ and have been raised to a new creation. We are called to a life with Christ in God for eternity. Jesus’ parable challenges a reassessment of true security. A rich man placed all his security in amassing an ever larger fortune. He dies suddenly and “the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?” The lesson of the parable is that we should place our security in our relationship with God rather than on earthly wealth. Another dimension to this parable emerges from its context. The parable is given in response to the question shouted from the crowd: “Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.” Jesus turns the query back on the questioner: “Is money more important than your relationship with your brother?” The parable provides a challenge to reassess our priorities in life. Our focus should not be on temporal wealth that soon disappears but on our spiritual relationship with God and one another! How does the parable in the Gospel challenge us to see our

relationships with new eyes? What does Paul mean when he says that in Christ “there is

not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all in all”?

How do you understand the words “Vanity of vanities . . .

All things are vanity”?

DURANTE LOS MESES DE VERANO, AMABLEMENTE LES RECORDAMOS A NUESTROS FELIGRESES QUE MANTENGAN UN ESPÍRITU DE DEVOCIÓN Y VESTIMENTA MODESTA A MEDIDA QUE VENGAN A LA MISA PARA QUE CON NUESTRA PREPARACIÓN EXTERNA E INTERNA RECIBAMOS CON GRAN ALEGRÍA AL REY DE TODOS EN NUESTROS CORAZONES.
