Over centuries, we have worked hard to build the Western Society and evaluate our success through the abundance of products and services available at any corner. But this materialistic abundance has a built-in trap. In this gospel reading episode, Jesus uses a story to illustrate that trap and to point to the principles of the simplicity of life, helping the needy, and contentment with what the Lord always provides. If there is one thing to worry about, it is how to seek the kingdom of God and grow it in your circle of influence.
