Word for Friday June 21.

“Jesus said to His disciple: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.” Matthew 6:19-21. St. Ephraim said, “We have had Your treasures within us, ever since we received baptismal grace. It grows ever richer at Your sacramental table.”

Let us pray, Lord Jesus You invite us to a life of virtue rather than material wealth and earthly accumulation of property. A life lived in You and for Your sake is a life prepared to live on with You when this earthly life is gone. May we choose in time the appropriate life Lord. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
