Spiritual Blindness and Idoldatry - The Legacy of the Rich Fool

In today's Gospel reading, we hear the parable of the rich fool.  In the homily, Abp. Irineos touches on the Fool's delusional pursuit of self-sufficiency, his soul killing greed, and ultimately what it means for us to be rich toward God.  Drawing on the patristic teaching, Abp. Irineos urges the faithul to take stock of their own giving of alms and to do what they can, to the greatest extent that they can.
