8th Sunday - A (February 26, 2017)

Commentary

Matthew 6: 24-34

What/Who Is First?

Lent is about to begin.  And today’s Gospel might be quite timely in giving us some orientation for our Lenten discernment. 

To put things in perspective, three verses prior to the beginning of this passage, Jesus tells his disciples, “where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.”

What/Where is my treasure?

What priority do I give to God?

Do I seek first the Kingdom of God?  If not, then what/who is first?
