This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our Rosary meditation.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

It's called to mind all those we've promised to pray for,

especially the healing of Olivia and Margot through the intercession of

Blessed Pauline Jericho.

Avarice or Greed is a disordered preoccupation with money or the things money can buy.

Of all the seven deadly sins, this one is perhaps the most starkly condemned by Jesus.

It was the vice of Judas who stole from the common purse, complained when money was spent on the glory of Christ, and then finally

sold his Lord and God and friend for 30 pieces of silver.

Jesus tells his followers in no uncertain terms,

you cannot serve both God and money. And he warns that it will be very difficult for the rich to

enter the kingdom of heaven.

And St Paul tells us that the love of money is the root of all evil.

Now, almost nobody ever lists greed or avarice

as one of their sins when they go to confession.

Almost nobody thinks they have a problem with it.

But don't you think it's weird that we, the richest nation in history,

should think that we're all totally free from the vice

that Jesus was so concerned to warn us about? See the problem is, greed is everywhere.

It's not that we don't suffer from avarice.
