18th Sunday in Ordinary Time July 31, 2022 Luke 12: 13 – 21 Today’s parable of “building bigger barns” challenges us to ask ourselves the question, “Do we live for our possessions, or for God and the Kingdom of Heaven?” In other words, do we own our possessions or do they own us? We all need a sense of security. For this reason, Jesus asks us to keep Him as the center of our lives. Without Him, we have a false sense of security. Let us renew our faith by trusting in Him a little more this week.
