Fr. Corwin Low, O.P on prosperity theology. Does faithfulness of Christianity merit the blessing of material well being? In today’s Gospel the young man approaches Jesus and asked what more shall he do, he already follows God’s commandments. Jesus replies to sell all of his belongings and follow him. The task seems impossible to the man, for he is wealthy and has many possessions. It seems the man is owned by his material items. The lesson Jesus offers is to not be spiritually attached to our material items, our wants, or our desires no matter how few or how plentiful. Scripture doesn’t change, and neither does the truth.
