You can not serve both god and mammon

Dear Friends,

"You cannot serve both God and mammon," (Lk 16:13b) Money is not evil in of itself. We all need money to function in our economy and world economies. Many of our responsibilities require money, contributions to the church and people in need is greatly appreciated. Jesus is asking us to examine our relationship with our money.  Money can become competitive with God for our attention. 
Extreme attachment to money gives is absolute value making it an idol. Money and other possessions are for this temporal life and can bring comfort and enjoyment. In time, we must leave them all behind. We are reminded of the words, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return; and the Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away." (Job 1:21)
Father Gino

Estimados Amigos,

"No puedes servir tanto a Dios como al dinero." (Lk 16, 13b) El dinero no es malo en si mismo. Todos necesitamos dinero para funcionar en nuestra economia y en nuestras economias mundiales. Muchas de nuestras responsab ilidades requieren dinero. Las contribuciones a la iglesia y a las personas necesitadas son muy apreciadas. Jesus nos pide que examinemos nuestra relacion con nuestra relacion con nuestro dinero. El dinero puede volverse competitivo con Dios para nuestra atencion.

El apego extemo al dinero le da un valor absolunto por lo que es un idolo. El dinero y otras posesiones son para esta vida temporal y pueden traer comodidad y disfrute. Con el tiempo, debemos dejarlos a todos atras. Se nos recuerdan las palabras: "Desnudo vine del vientre de mi madre, y desnudo volvere; el Senor dio, y el Senor se ha llevado." (Job 1:21)
