The road [of covetousness] is foolishness, for it leads us away from life; it destroys human brotherhood». In contrast, the royal road the Lord paved for us «is not a path to poverty for poverty’s sake» but rather «an instrument so that God might remain God and the only Lord» of our lives. May the Lord’s word remain in our hearts today for «even if a man has an abundance of wealth, his life does not consist in his possessions».
