Jesus begs us: “Do not go away sad!”
" . . .(A)ll too often, wealth leads to an attitude of self-sufficiency that soon replaces God with self. Wealth can delude us into a false sense of power over our lives. Moreover, the pursuit of financial autonomy easily becomes a pursuit of moral autonomy. Hurricane Katrina should have shaken us from any illusion about self-sufficiency. We who lost so much and even the control over so many aspects of our lives have had a lesson to learn: the good (and happiness) is related to much more intangible realities: God, life, faith, friendship, support, hope, love."
