June 2022 Challenge from Archbishop Louri
This Month's Challenge July 2022
THIS MONTH'S CHALLENGE JULY 2022 “But God said to him, ‘You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?’ Thus will it be for all who store up treasure for themselves but are not rich in what matters to God.” (Gospel for July 31, Lk 12:20-21) We may know the dates of countless upcoming appointments on our calendars, but we don’t know the date and time of one of the most important events of our lives: death. The end of our lives could come slowly or suddenly. How can we plan for that? Jesus urges us to seek to be “rich in what matters to God.” Our earthly life is only temporary; may we keep our true focus on the next life, knowing that our real and lasting treasure can be found in heaven alone.
Challenge by Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William E. Lori: This month, I challenge you to demonstrate what you truly treasure by making at least a brief visit — even just a few moments — to the Blessed Sacrament every day. Second, I challenge you to participate in the Faith in Action Holy Hour program.
Questions for Reflection: What do you treasure most? What is it that “matters to God”? Do you seek to be “rich in what matters to God”?:
