In today's Gospel reading from Luke, Jesus said to the crowd,"Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one's life does not consist of possessions." Then the Lord told the people the parable of the rich fool. A rich man decided to tear down his barns and build larger ones to store up all his grain and other goods for many years. And he was going to rest, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said to him, "You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?" Touché! Most of us store up treasure for ourselves, but what we really need is to be rich in what matters to God!
