Monday of the 29th week B. Eph 2:1-10; Ps99; Luke 12: 13-21.

Beware of greed.

Greed is the excessive desire for more of something, such as money, power, or social status, food, land, and any material.

Jesus warns us against greed for our greed harms us and others. Our greed is the source of immoral behaviors, opens doors to corruption, exploitation, and abuse of authority and powers, and insatisfaction, which leads one to constantly experience stress, exhaustion, anxiety, depression, and despair. Greed can lead to maladaptive behavior patterns such as gambling, hoarding, trickery, theft, and even murder in order to get whatever is desired. Let us turn to Christ who has saved us from the slavery of sin. Praying for the grace of detachment this week.

Queen of the Holy Rosary, pray for us!
