St. Paul the Apostle

Fools are those who think they still have plenty of time. Fools are those who neglect their duties and live in immorality and licentiousness just because “the master is away.” But wise are those who do not waste any second of time and do the will of God.

We can appreciate the lessons of this Sunday's Gospel. A rich man is given a bountiful harvest, yet he desires nothing but to keep them all to himself. He becomes so consumed with the thought that since he worked hard for the harvest, he deserves to use them for his own benefit and just “rest, eat, drink, be merry!” God calls him “fool!”
