Desire to Serve the Lord?

Renounce all our possessions and follow the good Lord!

Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Clare of Assisi are the churches shining examples of poverty. They not only renounced their possessions, they gave them away, living only on the most basic necessities.

Our gospel today, is yet another reflection on the First Commandment: “I am the Lord your God, you shall not have strange gods before you.” Exodus chapter 20.

Yes, we have been challenged in many ways to put God before everything, even our material possessions. Surely, there are few hot button issues with the laity and yes, many clergy about the material possessions and properties of the church(s) of every denomination. “If the Lord does not build the house, in vein do the builders labor.” Psalm 127:1. When life throws us a curve ball, we respond with our priorities in line. There are unpredictable moments like ill health, a failed economy, unemployment, a tuition grant cancelled or the sudden death of a bread winner. These experiences leave us desperate. To renounce one’s

possessions means God comes first and there are no substitutes for the love of God. None. Basically, this teaching is a call for you and me to trust Jesus in the good times and the bad times.

“Jesus, I Trust In You.” You Alone!

God bless you. Father Gerlach
