Today's readings and homily warned about the dangers of putting too much time and energy into the possession of wealth in this world.

Much of what I spend my time on is devoted to temporary pleasure, fleeting moments that need continual renewal. Whether it's a tasty meal, an enjoyable video game, or even a good story, the enjoyment of the moment fades with time with little gained in the end. Don't get me wrong; I believe we need these moments in our lives. I just worry that they can too often be overly consuming.
