"How's Your Portfolio?": Reflection for August 8, 2010, 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Today's Scripture can be read at www.usccb.org/nab

Financial investing involves decisions, as well as awareness of risks, goals, dividends and expected returns. Experienced investors know that short-term rewards do not last forever, and that long-term goals can take to show a good return.
God's Word today reminds us of the need to invest our lives - our time, energy, passion, and abilities- for a meaningful return! Both Abraham and the early hebrews invested their lives in God's promises. They know that God was with them on their life journey.
Jesus' words to "provide money bags that do not wear out" and the reminder that "Where your treasure is, there is your heart also" (Luke) challenge us to consider what is important to each of us as we invest our everyday lives.
Pray: "What you do to the least of my people, you do to Me" as you invest your time and energy this week.
