TUESDAY, 16 AUGUST 2016, "BEING RICH YET BEING DEPENDENT ON GOD"

FIRST READING: Ezekiel 28:1-10 / GOSPEL: Matthew 19:23-30
In today's both readings we see the difficulties of a rich person to understand the truth and path of God. First and foremost who is a rich person? Richness can mean have connotaitons. We can be materially, spiritually and even physically rich. Richness means you are complete in yourself. Once you think you are total in yourself, you don't require to depend on anyone or anything. Yes, here what we deviate form the path of truth. I can be rich in my way, but not forgetting the limitedness of me in this world. If my richness does not yield any good the life is not useful at all. Whatever may be my life situations, if I know that I am rich in something, let it be in the service of God and his people. Let us not forget, for me it is impossible to do anything but not for God.
