How to be truly poor to be truly rich
The Freeman
|October 20, 2025
That’s what Christ actually wants us to be. We have to be truly poor in order to be truly rich in what really matters in our life. This is the lesson that we can get from the gospel parable about the rich fool. (cfr. Lk 12,13-21)
When someone asked Christ to speak with his brother regarding the division of the family inheritance, Christ must have perceived a wrong motive on the part of the person who asked because he refused to get involved in the dispute, saying: “Man, who has appointed me judge, or divider, over you?”
Christ then proceeded to warn that person and the crowd around about the danger of covetousness, saying that “a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of things which he possesses.” And then he proceeded to talk about the parable of the rich fool who thought that life was about acquiring and keeping as many things as possible.
