Do we let Money Rule our Lives or do we try to Seek a Balance?

In today's homily, Fr. Vincent Low reflects on a tough but honest message from scripture - the danger of letting money rule our lives. The readings remind us that while money is necessary, the love of money can destroy relationships, families, and even faith. For the love of money, people even sell their children. Yet not all attitudes towards money come from evil. Some grew up poor and hence hold tightly to money out of fear and insecurity. Others, even without much, are generous and ready to help those in need. Both groups are part of God's family, and both need compassion. The Eucharist calls us to examine our hearts: not to let money rule our lives, but to seek a balance - loving God and neighbor, above wealth, and living as true disciples of Christ.Sunday Homily by Fr.
