"No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate
the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You
cannot serve God and wealth.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you
will eat, or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is
not life more than food and the body more than clothing?.....And can any of you
by worrying add single hour to your span of life? And why do you worry about
clothing?....Therefore do not worry, saying “What will we eat?” or “What will
we drink?” or What will we wear? For it is the Gentiles who strive for all
these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these
things. But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all
these things will be given to you as well. So do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today."
Bishop
William McGratton said that people are filled with emotions of anxious thoughts
and worries. We are burden by the past and preoccupied with the future. We
should understand that we need Jesus’ presence in our lives. Everything we have
is a gift from the hands of the Lord thru the gifts of prayers and the Eucharist.
Let
us trust that he will provide our needs and open our hearts to Him filled with the
service of gratitude.
