Catholic homilies and Mass readings from St. Anne Roman Catholic Parish in Gilbert, Arizona

Reading 1Ecclesiastes 1:2; 2:21-23Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth,vanity of vanities!  All things are vanity!Here is one who has labored with wisdom and knowledge and skill,and yet to another who has not labored over it,he must leave property.This also is vanity and a great misfortune.For what profit comes to man from all the toil and anxiety of heartwith which he has labored under the sun?All his days sorrow and grief are his occupation;even at night his mind is not at rest.This also is vanity.Reading 2Colossians 3:1-5, 9-11Brothers and sisters:If you were raised with Christ, seek what is above,where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.Think of what is above, not of what is on earth.For you have died,and your life is hidden with Christ in God.When Christ your life appears,then you too will appear with him in glory.Put to death, then, the parts of you that are earthly:immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire,and the greed that is idolatry.Stop lying to one another,since you have taken off the old self with its practicesand have put on the new self,which is being renewed, for knowledge,in the image of its creator.Here there is not Greek and Jew,circumcision and uncircumcision,barbarian, Scythian, slave, free;but Christ is all and in all.GospelLuke 12:13-21Someone in the crowd said to Jesus,“Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.”He replied to him,“Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?”Then he said to the crowd,“Take care to guard against all greed,for though one may be rich,one's life does not consist of possessions.”Then he told them a parable.“There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest.He asked himself, ‘What shall I do,for I do not have space to store my harvest?'And he said, ‘This is what I shall do:I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones.There I shall store all my grain and other goodsand I shall say to myself, “Now as for you,you have so many good things stored up for many years,rest, eat, drink, be merry!”'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 themselvesbut are not rich in what matters to God.”

Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Fr. Hezekias and Annie examine the wisdom of Ecclesiastes on vanity, Jesus' parable of the rich fool (Luke 12), and the danger of storing up earthly treasures while neglecting what matters to God.

Monsignor Watkins reflects on the hoarding of physical possessions but also how people around us and our obsessions can possess us as well. He urges us to give one possession, tangible or intangible to God.

Generosity is Never Loss. I always thought generosity equaled loss. You give and its gone forever. However, the Bible tells us that generosity is an investment. It is true, for example, I needed to pick up some Sheetrock, but I could not fit it inside our Honda Civic. So I reached our house in Milton...

Homily, Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 3, 2025 by Pastor, Fr. Jeff VonLehmen

Homily from the Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Remember you will die. Remember you have died. We are called to live a new life. But we cannot live a new life until we have allowed our old life to die. We need to remember that we will die in the future. Christians also have the chance to remember that we already have died. Mass Readings from August 3, 2025: Ecclesiastes 1:2; 2:21-23 Psalm 90:3-4, 5-6, 12-14 and 17Colossians 3:1-5, 9-11 Luke 12:13-21

Read OnlineSomeone in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.” He replied to him, “Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?” Luke 12:13–14Many things in life are not fair. Children are keenly aware of this any time they sense they have been cheated by a sibling. They complain to their parents, just as the person in the crowd quoted above complained to Jesus about his brother. We want justice and can become quite upset when we feel that we have been dealt an injustice.The passage above is interesting because Jesus gently but clearly refuses to be the arbiter of justice for this man. It may indeed be the case that he was cheated out of his inheritance by his brother. But it's interesting that Jesus not only refuses to resolve the dispute, He then goes on to teach about greed, suggesting that the cheated man was acting out of greed.If you were cheated out of your inheritance by a sibling, how would you react? If a sibling were to do this, it would clearly be a sin and an injustice. But the question at hand is your reaction to being cheated. Being cheated by another might result in one of two responses. The most common response is to immediately seek justice, to fight back. But this is not always what God will inspire us to do. Instead, when we experience injustice, we are given an opportunity to love on a very deep level. And this must be our response. This is why Jesus said we must love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. In the big picture of eternity, earthly injustices are always an opportunity for grace. This is evident by simply looking at the gravest injustice of the suffering and death of the Son of God. Jesus did not complain about being so cruelly treated. He did not call on the angels of Heaven to destroy the Pharisees and Romans who attacked Him. Instead, Jesus used the injustice inflicted upon Him as a foundation for His gift of salvation.As we journey through this life, we need to decide whether we are going to live for this life or for eternity. We cannot have both. However, by choosing to live for eternity, we also enhance our lives here on earth in ways that nothing in this world can match. For example, say you experienced the unfortunate situation of extreme poverty. Say you were cheated out of your home and possessions and were left with nothing. Would this make you miserable? It might, but it doesn't have to. Instead, such an unfortunate circumstance has the potential for you to live day-by-day, trusting in God's providential care and to offer mercy in the face of injustice. And that is good. It is good for your eternal soul. It is good because it will motivate you to trust God on a very deep level and to become a beacon of God's mercy. By contrast, if you had everything you could ever want in this world, it would be seriously tempting to rely less upon God and more upon the things you possess in this world. But the things of this world cannot save your eternal soul. In fact, they are a serious hindrance to your ability to trust in God alone. So, truth be told, poverty and injustice actually open the door to an opportunity for much more grace in our lives than material wealth does. But so often we still long to have more and more of the things of this world. Reflect, today, upon the spiritual and eternal blessings that come from relying solely upon God and not upon material wealth. This is a hard lesson for most people to learn. If this is your struggle, then try to take on the eternal perspective. Try to look beyond the temporary stability and pleasures that come from accumulating earthly wealth, so that you will see the eternal riches that come from seeking God alone. Everything in this world will one day pass away. In the light of that fact, recommit yourself to the embrace of God's riches by loving others through every injustice you encounter in life.Most merciful Lord, You endured the greatest injustice ever known. But in the face of that injustice, You offered mercy and the gift of salvation, transforming that injustice into the greatest act of love ever offered. Help me to imitate Your merciful heart and to see injustice, poverty, and every difficulty I encounter as an opportunity to turn more fully to You. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Église Saint-Martin de Castelnau-d'Estrétefonds, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life!

For 3 August 2025, The Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, based on Ecclesiastes 1:2, Colossians 3:1–5, 9–11, Luke 12:13–21 (Image: credit: Diocese of Grand Rapids)

Read the scriptures for the Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time at this link.

Fill us at daybreak with your kindness, that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days. And may the gracious care of the LORD our God be ours; prosper the work of our hands for us! Prosper the work of our hands! If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (Lk 12:13-21, today's readings).Then Jesus told them a parable. “There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest. He asked himself, ‘What shall I do, for I do not have space to store my harvest?' And he said, ‘This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones.'"Jesus shares a parable with the crowd after someone tells Jesus to demand that his brother share his inheritance with him. What the inheritance is, we don't know. But Jesus knows the man's heart and warns the crowd to guard against greed and attachment to possessions. The man in the parable builds larger barns and celebrates having, as he says, "so many good things stored up for many years." This also is vanity, Qoheleth would say, that his moment in the sun would not last. As Jesus finish the parable, we hear God say to the man: "You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?" Jesus concludes the parable by teaching us to store up treasure not for ourselves but to labor on earth to become "rich in what matters to God." God, help me today and every day of my life do the work that Jesus lays out in storing up treasure in heaven. Help me recall the way Saint Paul puts it: dying to this life and finding our lives hidden with Christ in God naturally follows when the focus is on what is above and not what is on earth. Give me the grace, Lord, to live a life that is rich in faith and generosity in the divine inheritance I have in the hope of the resurrection to eternal life. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

The love of God guarantees life. Might it be that I am greedy because deep down I am not yet ready to rely upon the love of God? Do I really believe that this world is the whole story?About the Speaker: Father William J Grimm is a Maryknoll Missioner of 40 year's experience in Asia-mostly Japan, Hong Kong and Cambodia.For news in and about the Church in Asia, visit www.ucanews.com  For news in and about the Church in Asia, visit www.ucanews.comTo contribute please visit www.ucanews.com/donateOn Twitter Follow Or Connect through DM at : twitter.com/ucanewsTo view Video features please visit https://www.youtube.com/@ucanews

Preaching for the Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Grace Mariette Agolia, offers a reflection on St. Lydia as a model of ongoing and whole-hearted response to God: "Through baptism, Lydia came to know life in Christ and the hope of sharing in his glory, treasure infinitely more valuable than the purple cloth she traded. She heeded Jesus's warning in today's Gospel reading from Luke: 'Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one's life does not consist of possessions'"...Grace Mariette Agolia is a PhD candidate in Systematic Theology with a minor in History of Christianity at Boston College. Her primary theological interest is ecclesiology, and her dissertation focuses on the role of ministry in the church's sacramental mediation of God's grace. Before beginning doctoral studies, she spent a year in the L'Arche Daybreak community in Richmond Hill, Ontario, and she currently serves on the board of directors for the L'Arche Boston North community in Haverhill, Massachusetts.Visit www.catholicwomenpreach.org/preaching/08032025 to learn more about Grace, to read her preaching text, and for more preaching from Catholic women.

Friends, George Harrison once sang, “All things must pass; all things must pass away.” Almost every major religious figure and philosopher the world over has intuited this great truth about our world. It's good, and there are good things in it—a beautiful sunset, an enjoyable meal, a great conversation—but they don't last. With that in mind, let's turn to our readings for this Eighteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time, which are about the theme of detachment.
