18th Sunday in Ordinary Time
More than any other of the evangelists, Luke is concerned about greed and materialism. In today’s Gospel we hear one of the parables of Jesus regarding greed. What does it profit us to hoard? The readings invite us to contemplate what we really need and what is too much. Each of us needs to discern this according to our consciences and circumstances. What are the riches that will last? Not material possessions, but love and relationships and particularly for Christians, love and care for the poor and vulnerable. This is the treasure that will last! 18vo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Más que ningún otro evangelista, Lucas se preocupa por la ambición y el materialismo. En el Evangelio de hoy, escu-chamos una de las parábolas de Jesús en lo que se refiere a la ambición. ¿Qué nos da el acumular? Las lecturas nos invitan a contemplar lo que realmente necesitamos y qué es demasi-ado. Cada uno de nosotros necesita discerner esto de acuerdo a nuestras conciencias y circunstancias ¿Cuáles son las riquezas que duran? No las posesiones materiales, sino el amor y las relaciones, particulamente para los Cristianos, el amor y el cuidado de los pobres y vulnerables ¡Este es el Tesoro que durará!

August is the month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Immaculate Conception is the belief Mary is free of original sin. The Catholic Church commits the month of August to the Im-maculate Heart of Mary. The Immaculate Heart speaks to the longing of the Blessed Virgin to convey all individuals to her Son. One way you can more closely align your life to the Im-maculate Heart of Mary is to wear the Miraculous Medal for the entire month. Wear it as an act of great devotion and a testimo-ny to the power of prayer.
