Rich in what matters to God

“Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God.” (Lk 12: 21)

What matters to God? Everything which is connected with an unconditional gift of self. Even being rich is OK with God. The only thing which is unacceptable for God is egoism, things we do for ourselves. Like in today’s Gospel: “treasure for himself,” success for himself, pleasure and appreciation for himself.

“I resolved to know nothing while I was with you, except for Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” (Entrance Antiphon)
