We hear Jesus state very directly, "No servant can serve two masters." his loyalty will be split between service to one or disconnect from the other. "You cannot serve both God and mammon." (Lk 16: 13). Mammon is not only material wealth, but prestige, obsession with self and perfection, or exaggerated ambition. Real success comes with putting God at the center, using our gifts prudently, and being at the service of others. We can sometimes fool ourselves with a false self-righteousness, another aspect of "mammon." May we, from time to time, sort through our "inventory" to see where the majority of our marbles, are, with God or mammon, and make the necessary adjustments.
