1 Timothy 6:2-12, Psalm 49, Luke 8:1-3

The right focus

The readings today hint at the sort of resourcefulness a follower of Jesus Christ must have. Some money, but not too much. How much is enough? A saintly life finds the right answer to that question. The women in the Gospel are saints. They share their wealth, how much or little we are not told, just that they have resources. What is obvious is that they love Jesus Christ and his mission more than bothering about the state of their resources. They trust God’s providence utterly.
