Readings for the 18th Sunday of the Year (C)
1st Reading: Solomon laments the "vanities" of this life
Responsorial Psalm (Ps 89): Make us know the shortness of our life, that we may gain wisdom of heart
2nd Reading: Thinking about Heaven gives meaning to our life on earth
Gospel: The foolishness of living as if there's no life to come
Reflection
We give so much time and energy to less important things,
and not as much time and energy as we should to more important things
(e.g. several hours each day/night to Facebook, but "no time" for
Bible reading).
Spiritual/Heavenly interests should be stronger in our lives
Prayer:
Jesus, please help me give more time and
energy to the more important things in my life
(family duties, study, Bible reading, prayer, physical rest)
....and less time and energy to the good and not wrong but not so
important things in my life
(Facebook, entertainment, fine meals ...)
