In today's first reading from Ezekiel 28, the Lord God told the prophet what to say to the prince of Tyre. Verse 5 struck me: "Through your great wisdom in trading, you heaped up riches for yourself—your heart is haughty because of your riches." Today we see wealthy people who think they are superior because they can make money. Jesus is right in saying to his disciples that it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. When you serve mammon instead of God, you receive your full reward in this life.
