This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our daily Rosary meditation.

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

Amen.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

Today we meditate on the deadly sin of greed.

Averis or greed is a disordered preoccupation with money or the things money can buy.

Of all the deadly sins, this one is perhaps the most starkly condemned in the New Testament.

It was the vice of Judas who stole from the common purse,

complained when money was spent on Christ's glory, and finally sold his Lord and God 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. St. Paul and Pink Floyd tell us that money, so they say, is the root of all evil today.

Money, it's a gas.

Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.

New car, caviar, four-star daydream.

Think I'll buy me a football team.

Now, almost nobody ever lists greed as one of their sins when they go to confession.

Almost nobody thinks they have a problem with greed.

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