Worship Life in
September
Choose life… You cannot serve God and wealth… There was a rich
man…
The recurring theme in the September readings is how one approaches
wealth as a disciple of Christ. Throughout the readings, it is
apparent hard choices are in order. There is an order to the
choices, God first, wealth second. This seems to be the path to
true hope and, as St. Paul puts it, the life that really is life.
May the rich life of Christ be yours this month and always.0``````````````````````
