Sunday Gospel - Luke 12:13-21
A man in the crowd said to Jesus, ‘Master, tell my brother to give me a share of our inheritance.’ ‘My friend,’ he replied, ‘who appointed me your judge, or the arbitrator of your claims?’ Then he said to them, ‘Watch, and be on your guard against avarice of any kind, for a man’s life is not made secure by what he owns, even when he has more than he needs.’
Then he told them a parable: ‘There was once a rich man who, having had a good harvest from his land, thought to himself, “What am I to do? I have not enough room to store my crops.” Then he said, “This is what I will do; I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in them, and I will say to my soul: My soul, you have plenty of good things laid by for many years to come; take things easy, eat, drink, have a good time.” But God said to him, “Fool! This very night the demand will be made for your soul; and this hoard of yours, whose will it be then?” So it is when a man stores up treasure for himself in place of making himself rich in the sight of God.’
Reflection
The Gospel of Luke 12:13-21 invites us to ask ourselves important questions about our priorities and attachments. Are we living for worldly success, or are we living for God's kingdom? Jesus’ message is clear: life is fleeting, and true wealth is found in being rich toward God, not in the accumulation of material goods. May we all take this to heart, striving for a life that reflects the eternal values of the Gospel rather than the temporary desires of this world.
