Today's Scripture readings all challenge us to do away with greed and to put on Jesus Christ.  In the Gospel we have the story of the rich landowner who only thinks of himself.  In the end, he enjoys a bountiful harvest for himself, but he risks losing his very soul.  Jesus tells us that it will be the same for us, if we do not store up our treasure in heaven.

Seek first the Kingdom of God, and everything will be given to you besides.
