Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time – August 4, 2019
Eccl 1:2, 2:21-33 Psalm: 90 Col 3:1-5, 9-11 Lk 12:13-21
Today’s reading from Ecclesiastes and today’s Gospel from Luke each feature a wealthy and successful individual. The rich man in Jesus’ parable thinks he is all set for life, but he is about to get a most unpleasant surprise that points to the consequences of the neglect of his spiritual self. At least the character in the first reading realizes he can’t take it with him, but this doesn’t leave him any happier. Full happiness depends on our union with God the Creator of all things. St. Paul’s words of advice to the Colossians point to an alternative: “Seek what is above.” As we listen to the readings today, let us think of how we should do this.
