Is your treasure on earth or in heaven? 18th Sunday in Ordinary Times

Listen to the homily here.

Notes:

Colossians: “Think of what is above, not of what is on earth.”

Matthew: 

“Take care to guard against all greed,for though one may be rich,
one’s life does not consist of possessions.”

Ecclesiastes: 

For what profit comes to man from all the toil and anxiety of heart and with which he has labored under the sun? All his days sorrow and grief are his occupation;even at night his mind is not at rest. This also is vanity.

Matthew:

‘You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you;
and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?’
Thus will it be for all who store up treasure for themselves
but are not rich in what matters to God.”
