25th Sunday in Ordinary Time
This gospel seeks to discover whether God is taking first place in our lives or whether the pursuit of riches is a more important consideration.
If we are using our wealth to attain our heavenly goal then we are on the right track.
We can take nothing with us from this life except the good we have done.

Joke
While attending a marriage seminar on communication, David and his wife listened to the instructor declare:
It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other.”
He addressed the man; “Can you describe your wife’s favorite flower?’
David leaned over, touched his wife’s arm gently and whispered:
“Pillsbury All-purpose, isn’t it?”
