18th Sunday
in Ordinary Time –
Sunday, 1st August 2010
...
Jesus
said to the crowd: “Watch,
and be on your guard against avarice
of any kind, for your life is not
made secure by what you own, even
when you have more than you need”.
What a difficult message that is for
us to listen to today, and yet what
a vitally important one. Our lives
are governed more and more by the
need to get on so that we increasingly
have less and less time for the really
important things of life. And Jesus
is very clear about what those important
things are; the things that can give
us true security. These are, of course,
love of God with our whole hearts
so that we can know where we came
from and where we are going, and love
for one another so that we can know
the true joy of journeying through
this life. That is our message of
hope for our troubled world. We have
to work at living it ourselves as
followers of Christ.
The
Aged and housebound will be attended
on Thursday 5th and Friday 6th
August.
