Money

I am sorry - I am not a good blogger - but here I am back again.
What do you make of the current world Financial crisis?
It has certainly exposed the folly of rampart greed and the way in which the market so often acts like a "gaming table"rather than as a well ordered business activity.
At the bottom of it all is greed.

Money, in itself, is fine. St paul aware of the dangers of money, or the desire for it wrote: "the love of money is the root of all evil"

Jesus saw the dangers too: "You cannot serve God and wealth" - going on to say how you would end up loving one and despising the other.

We all need a good understanding of what is enough. What is a fair share, and how we can make sure that everyone has sufficient.

In the end we will only do that as we put God as our first priority and help others do the same.

It is when we love God first - that everything else falls into its proper place.
