Mine! Fairness in the Age of Me

We live in an age of me and mine.  We often confuse what we want with what we need and even deserve.  These feelings can cloud our view of fairness and justice.  They sometimes lead to broken relationships and violence.  Today’s Gospel shows Jesus peeling back the veneer of fairness and uncovering greed.  Proper 13 - Readings: Hosea 11:1-11; Psalm 107:1-9, 43; Colossians 3:1-11; Luke 12:13-21
