Saturday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time

Saturday of the 11th Week in Ordinary Time

            Jesus teaches His disciples “You cannot serve God and Mammon. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear.” “But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides.”

            Fr. O’Mullane preaches on Christ’s very basic command, and exhorts us to truly trust in Christ’s command, “do not worry about your life.” Though mammon may seem to provide security, money does not provide what God provides. If we hesitate to follow Christ’s command on our own, only look to Mary, who, though knowing of the suffering that she would endure, nevertheless lived happily and joyously day to day.
