The Gospel message today is contrary to our modern culture where advertising continually tries to convince us that our value lies in the things we possess. Jesus showed us that our true value lies in the way we live our lives. He challenges us to not hoard material possessions, but rather to live a grateful and generous lifestyle and become more “other-centered” and less “self -centered.” El mensaje del evangelio de hoy es contrario a nuestra cultura moderna, donde la publicidad trata continuamente de convencernos de que nuestro valor está en las cosas que poseemos. Jesús nos mostró que nuestro verdadero valor radica en la forma en que vivimos nuestras vidas. Nos desafía a no acumular posesiones materiales, sino a vivir un estilo de vida agradecido y generoso y a ser más "centrado en el otro" y menos "egocéntrico".
