Many choices are mutually exclusive. You cannot serve both God and mammon. You follow either God or the world (Satan). You end up in either heaven or hell. Today's Gospel reading from Matthew 6 offers more such choices. We can perform righteous deeds, pray, or fast openly for all to see or in secret so that only God knows. That is, we choose to be either genuine or hypocritical. The Gospel also shows that you either receive your reward in the open or are repaid by God in secret. Life is all about making the right choices.
