"Jesus also set no value on wealth or position.
Once a rich man came to Jesus when he was in the
house of Martha and Mary.
The rich man told Jesus that despite all his wealth and possessions,
he was not having peace of mind.
He was harassed by many worries and appealed
to Jesus to show him a way out.
Jesus told him: “There is a simple way but will you follow it?
You have been accumulating riches and
your worries have grown with them.
What are you going to do with all this wealth,
which some day you will have to leave behind?
Distribute it among the poor and the needy
and all your worries will go.
Accumulate instead the wealth of God's grace
through love of your fellowmen."
This is the message that has to be understood today.
What people should seek is the earning of God's love.
All other forms of wealth, including the wealth of scholarship,
are valueless."
