Note: I will be at the Oblate Retreat Center in San Antonio, Texas for the next two days...I may or may not be able to "cut" a slice of bread...If not, there will be bread on Thursday.
One of the Capital sins, Greed has never found favor with Jesus or any spiritual teacher since. Jesus puts it simply: "one's life does not consist of possessions." (Lk 12:15). Another translation reads, "possessions do not guarantee life." Being greedy is not necessarily tied in with money, but THINGS, attachments cars, houses, antiques, can be imprisoning and blinding, preventing us from seeing ourselves, others, the world, with the eyes of God. Jesus urges that we store us "treasures" in what matters to God. May we be able, through grace, to discern just what they are, and may God grant us the courage to act on what we discover.
