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.

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R
