Friends, on this 28th Sunday of Ordinary Time, we are reminded of the totalizing nature of the Christian Way of Life. As Tony explains, in His exchange with the rich man, Jesus reminds us that living the Christian life requires the wisdom to make every decision so as to place God above all else in our lives, period. And True Wisdom is a grace, a gift of God, prompting us to pray for this very gift.
