WE'RE FRANTIC
Humankind makes frantic the
clinging to earthly things completely pointless . . . "As he came from his mother's womb he
shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil. For the
fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same; as one dies, so
dies the other. All go to the same place" (Eccl 5: 14; 3: 19, 20).
WE'RE BLIND
A profound blindness takes
hold of man if he deludes himself that by striving to accumulate material goods
he can avoid death. Not for nothing does the Psalmist speak of an almost
animal-like "lack of understanding".
EMBRACE POVERTY
It is better to be poor and
to be one with God!
