Wisdom 18: 6-9
Psalm 33: 1, 12, 18-22
Hebrews 11: 1-2, 8-19
Luke 12: 32-48
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
This time of year brings transitional events for many, especially younger people (and their parents). Children starting back to school, young adults heading off to college, lucky recent graduates settling into their first jobs and apartments are just a few examples of new/exciting/intimidating changes. The second reading (from Hebrews) and the Gospel might have some helpful advice for these adventurers. Faith strengthens us to take that step into the unknown. Awareness of what is required of us and following through on our commitments will certainly please our 'master' (teacher? boss? landlord? parent?).
But above all, as each of us enters into whatever transition awaits, this brief line from the Gospel is invaluable in aligning our priorities correctly: where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
- How well do what you name as 'values' in your life align with how you invest your time/money/energy?
- When did you feel called to set out on a new venture, relying primarily on your faith? How did that make you feel?
- To whom or what do you 'give your heart'?
The Catechumenate meets at 12:45.
Inquiry is this Tuesday at 7pm
