19th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.” – Luke 12:34

In this gospel, I hear Jesus sounding calling me out. Do I really put God first in my life? If I look at what consumes most of my free time am I focused on my faith or on the pleasures of the world? How many hours do I spend in prayer as compared to watching the Star Wars Trilogies for the 28th time? Why do I doom scroll on my phone instead of serving my brother in need? If death came for me today, have I really pursued holiness or simply practiced my faith in a way that is comfortable?

This gospel ends with Jesus stating, “still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.” I cannot plead ignorance of what Christ expects of me. If I want the Lord to wait on me at the table, I must live an intentional life of faith, ready to respond to Him whenever he knocks.
