Please continue to pray for our next Archbishop that he may have the heart of Pope Francis and

the heart of the Lord Jesus.

Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

To understand today’s gospel, we must remember the first beatitude, “How happy are the poor in spirit” (Matt 5:3). If the kingdom is near at hand, and already mysteriously present with Jesus, then it is prime importance to opt for God without compromise, to serve him with a single heart, and to give ourselves to him with total confidence in his plan of salvation. No one can serve two mas-ters. No one can serve both God and money! And reality which exerts an insidious and brutal mastery over our lives is an idol. Money is often such an idol. Its domination threatens all people and things, The desire to possess it leads nations and families into conflict and into sacrificing the weak. Even those who give themselves whole-heartedly to the worship of a freeing God find themselves enmeshed in the demands of mammon. Just as a woman caresses her child, God wraps us in gentle care. We are invited to submit all our anxieties to God’s providence. Money is often the final barrier which hinders that trust. Yet it is still impossible to rid ourselves of money. The problem is how to use it without becoming its slave. Money is a tool with which we work to co-operate with God in completing creation. We are called to live with confidence at the edge of an insecure universe and exchange thousands of life’s anxious cares for the central focus of work-ing for the kingdom.
