What profit is there for one to gain the whole world lose or forfeit himself? St. Luke 9:25
It’s possible to accumulate so much of the world
That you lose your own self
We expend so much time
Effort
Psychic energy trying to fortify
Our lives with things of this world
Of course
Everyone has a right
Clothing
Shelter
Education
Rest and restful creation
Personal safety
It’s possible to get to a point
Where these things mother our deepest
Truest selves
Be careful of getting too much of a good thing
Pray for the wisdom to recognize when enough is enough
As long as there are people who don’t have anywhere near enough
Of course
There will always be opportunities to share
Because nobody deserves too much of a good thing
Lord, Father Christ, help me to see when enough is enough
