Reading 1: Ecclesiates 1:2; 2:21-23 - Today's readings fit together like three panels of a colorful mural called "Set Your Heart on the Kingdom." This first reading insists that "All things are vanity!" For the author, vanity meant "emptiness" or "straw." He is telling us that it is useless to set out hearts on things that must be left behind when we die. Make a list of your concerns. Are any of them "vain"? How are you on the right track in your priorities? When are you overly concerned with vain things?
Reading 2: Colossians 3:1-5, 9-11 - In what ways have you bee tempted to beleive that more is better?
Gospel: Luke 12:13-21 - How important is making money? Jesus knows that we all need enough to live on. Each person's need will be a little bit different. Each family's needs will be a little bit different. But Jesus warns here against piling up money and ignoring what really makes us rich, love of God and love of others.
