Retirement Planning

I listen this morning to the a CBC interview with a person who is saving a lot of money for retirement. The dedication to having as much as I can when I retire is very large. The Roman Catholic Lectionary, today presents the supremacy of love as the goal and source of life. Luke shows that Jesus telling a story about planning ahead. The surprise is that discipleship and possessions appear to be in conflict. The “love of things” is not the relationship that Paul exhorts. Jesus planning parables may be for us to consider the burden of possessions?
