18th Week of Ordinary Time C – Sunday
Peace be with you. This Sunday’s readings speak with striking clarity—and urgency—about the dangers of vanity and greed. Qoheleth, in our first reading from Ecclesiastes, cries out: “Vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!” A bold statement, yet one that captures the fragility and futility of grasping for things that cannot last. We toil, we strive, we store up—and still, in the end, we return to dust. Our minds are restless, our hearts anxious, and often, our labours are not even enjoyed by us, but passed to others.
