This Sunday's Gospel Reading

Luke 12:13-21

A person's life does not consist of possessions.

In the gospel this week, we hear about a rich man who is greedy and tries to keep all his good things to himself. Jesus taught us that we must share what we have with others. 

 

Let us pray: 

Loving God, everything we have comes from you. Help us to share what we have been given so that everyone has enough. Amen.
