Galilee "The Garden of Mirrors" by Micus suggests the false views of life THE KINGDOM IS AMONG YOU SON, ALL I HAVE IS YOURS

NEW BEGINNING - Jesus CALLS us to follow Him, 3 vocations (Sun 13th) - SENT to go before Him, like sheep... (Sun 14th) CONVERSION ATTITUDES - LOVE as the good Samaritan (Sun 15th) - WELCOMING Jesus who passes, like Mary did (Sun 16th) - PRAY to our Father in heaven like Jesus (Sun 17) GOD HELPS US - Put TRUST in Him, not in riches (Sun 18th) - WATCH, to be prepared (Sun 19th) - NOW is the time for CONVERSION (Sun 20th) CONVERSION WAY Lk 9: :21

The rich valley of Jezreel In Jezreel, King Ahab ( 6 th BC) was the pinnacle of ambition for wealth (1Kings 21)

Lk 12:13-21 A man in the crowd said to him, 'Master, tell my brother to give me a share of our inheritance.' According to 1Kings 21: Location of the vineyard of Naboth

Why quarrel about inheritance? You spend the days in the uneasiness and then you have to leave everything (1st Reading) Old Testament

He said to him, 'My friend, who appointed me your judge, or the arbitrator of your claims?'

Let’s be more interested in Jesus’ will than in ours Every Eucharist is His new and eternal Testament

Then he said to them, 'Watch, and be on your guard against avarice of any kind, for life does not consist in possessions, even when someone has more than he needs.‘

Constantly creating wealth is a drug that enslaves Why not put to death the love of money? (2nd Reading)

Then he told them a parable, 'There was once a rich man who, having had a good harvest from his land, thought to himself, "What am I to do? I have not enough room to store my crops.“

Being poor, man wants to be rich, and is impoverished with wealth Being rich, God became poor to enrich us with his poverty (2Cor 8:9) Contrasting stories

Then he said, "This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in them, 19 and I will say to my soul: My soul, you have plenty of good things laid by for many years to come; take things easy, eat, drink, have a good time."

God feeds the birds, that do not reap nor gather into barns (Lk12:24) Do not click The rich magnifies their barns that do not quench

But God said to him, "Fool! This very night the demand will be made for your soul; and this hoard of yours, whose will it be then?”

Have no debt other than love All we have accumulated will stay on earth, we will only take what we have given

So it is when someone stores up treasure for himself instead of becoming rich in the sight of God.'

The shy hand of the rich one, wants to hoard EVERYTHING for himself The generous hand of God gives ALL to his children

Lord, give us a gracious glance to see what it really has value in this world
