LITURGICAL ROLES

THIS WEEK

Some helpful hints from the Creation Care Team of Saint Bruno Parish:

Dial it down: Moving your thermostat down just two

degrees in winter and up two degrees in summer could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

Turn it off: Artificial lighting accounts for 44 percent of

electricity use in office buildings. Make it a habit to turn off the lights when you’re leaving any room for 15 minutes or more. Same goes for electronics; switch off power strips and unplug electrical devices when you’re not using them.

Lower the temperature on your hot water heater to 120 degrees F and take short showers instead of a tub bath.

The cake is frosted, the guests have

arrived, and the gifts are piled high.

One by one, the packages are opened,

and one by one, the child reaches for

another. Who among us hasn't seen a

child who appears crestfallen when the

gifts run out? Even the abundance isn't quite enough.

Today's Gospel tackles a key question in the spiritual

life - grateful or greedy?

"There was a rich man whose land produced a

bountiful harvest." We all recognize the need to be

practical. Raising a family, there's need to save for all

sorts of things beyond normal day-to-day costs -

medical bills, family vacations, private school, rainy

day funds, retirement. Jesus doesn't critique the rich

man for simply having an abundant harvest. It's his

mentality. Does the rich man sell off the extra to

make the needed repairs to the back fence or to

invest in some additional livestock to grow the busi-

ness? Perhaps donate some of the excess to the poor?

No. "You have so many good things stored up for

many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!" The man

wants to hoard and indulge with no concern

for others.

Jesus doesn't condemn prudent saving or owning

necessary items. He calls us to purify our attitudes.

"Guard against all greed... one's life does not consist of

possessions." We are called to be good stewards. This

means being practical. It also means remaining open

to God's invitation with our resources. Are we tithing

to our parish? Do we give alms to the poor? Does our

weekly entertainment far outstrip what we offer to

others? Life is not about "stor[ing] up treasure for

[our]selves." The more we grow in gratitude and

generosity, the more we become "rich in

what matters to God."
