Today’s GOSPEL - Matthew 6:24-34. The readings today remind us that creation is God's gift, Christ's possession and our responsibility. It flows from the love and creativity of the Holy Trinty.
At that time: Jesus said to his disciples, ‘No one can be the slave of two masters: a person will either hate the first and love the second or be attached to the first and despise the second. You cannot be the slave both of God and of money. ‘Therefore I tell you not to worry about your life, what you should eat, nor about your body, what you should wear. Surely life is more than food, and the body more than clothing! Look at the birds in the sky. They do not sow or reap or gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they are? Can any of you, by worrying, add one single cubit to your span of life? And why worry about clothing? Learn from the flowers of the fields, how they grow; they neither work nor spin, yet I assure you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grasses of the field which are there today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, will he not much more clothe you, who have so little faith? So, do not worry; do not say,
“What should we eat? What should we drink? What should we wear?” It is the gentiles who strive for all these things. Your heavenly Father knows you need them all. Strive first for his kingdom, and righteousness, and all these other things will be given you as well. So do not worry about tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.’
