18th SUNDAY in ORDINARY TIME 

Luke 12:13-21 

The rich man in the parable thinks he has stored up enough possessions
to guarantee a good life without worries—so he thinks.
Any reliance on wealth and possessions, however, is pure folly—both worldly possessions and this life are fleeting.
What truly matters is the inheritance that only God can give: the fullness of eternal life.
What “matters to God” is spending our life dispossessing ourselves
of anything which hinders us from growing into the fullness of life.
