Is it Moral to Pursue Comfort? (Father Simon Says)

Do you sometimes feel guilty for having something that others are lacking? Brandon from Mesa is feeling this way. He asks: Is it moral to pursue comfort in America when much of the world suffers in poverty? 🏡🌎   Fr. Richard Simon responds with a blend of humor, wisdom, and practical advice. Here's the scoop:   Grace vs. Sin:   "Grace is what's given; sin is what's taken." If you’re blessed with wealth, you have a great responsibility. Live simply and acknowledge that everything you have is from God.   Wealth is Illusory:   Wealth can vanish in an instant. "Your attitude towards your station in life is more important than the station itself."   Practical Steps:   Pray and fast for those suffering.   Use your wealth responsibly by supporting legitimate charities. Investigate to ensure your donations truly help the poor. Local vs. Global Poverty:   You don't need to look far to find poverty. There are needy people within your own community.   Takeaway:   If God has blessed you with wealth, use it wisely and generously. Live simply, support worthy causes, and remember that our comfort is a grace meant to be shared, not hoarded. ✝️💙   The best way to listen to the Best of the Week is on our #1 Free Catholic App. It’s free, and always will be!
