The fool rich

 

Today, the Gospel tells us about Jesus' encounter with two men who ask him to divide their inheritance. Jesus refuses, even though it was customary at that time to seek advice from a rabbi on property matters. Jesus takes the opportunity to tell them the parable of the rich fool. This man had a huge harvest. He told himself he would build a barn, store everything, and then devote himself to drinking and enjoying life. However, God said, "You fool, you don't know that this very night you will die." The Father tells us that having riches isn't bad, and that we've all been like the rich fool by worrying about tomorrow's future. And it's not bad to plan for the future, but that shouldn't be our goal. In other words, we should use that treasure to build a bridge from earth to Heaven, as the Father tells us. I read in a story I've published previously about a rich man who went to heaven and there was a market with very low prices. But when he tried to buy with his money, the angel replied, "That money has no value here." Here, only the money that was donated on earth has value. That is, our money should also be used for the good of others. The Father reminded us of the man who found a treasure and, very happy, sold everything he had to buy the land where the treasure was located. The Father tells us that our supreme treasure is God Himself. In other words, the most important thing in our lives should be our relationship with God.
