Episode 11 The Parable of the Rich Fool

”Hello and welcome to '2 Minutes with the Lord,' where we explore the timeless wisdom of Jesus' parables and apply their lessons to our contemporary lives. I'm your host, Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today, we're diving into The Parable of the Rich Fool—a story that challenges our understanding of wealth and priorities. How does this ancient story speak to our modern obsession with material success and security? Let's find out." In Luke 12:16-21, Jesus said, Once, there was a wealthy man whose fields yielded a tremendous harvest. Pleased with his fortune, he pondered, "What should I do? I don't have enough storage for all my crops." He decided, "I know what I'll do. I'll tear down my small barns and build larger ones. Then I can store all my grain and say, 'You have plenty stored away for years. Take it easy; eat, drink, and enjoy life!'" But that very night, God said to him, "You foolish man! Your life will end tonight. Then who will get everything you've prepared for yourself?" Jesus concluded by saying, "This is what happens to those who store earthly wealth but are not rich towards God." To be 'rich towards God' means prioritizing spiritual and communal aspects of life over material wealth and self-indulgence and using one's resources to serve others and build a better community.
