Do you sometimes feel guilty for having something that others are lacking?



Brandon from Mesa is feeling this way. He asks: Is it moral to pursue comfort in America when much of the world suffers in poverty? 🏡🌎



Fr. Richard Simon responds with a blend of humor, wisdom, and practical advice. Here's the scoop:



Grace vs. Sin:



"Grace is what's given; sin is what's taken." If you’re blessed with wealth, you have a great responsibility. Live simply and acknowledge that everything you have is from God.



Wealth is Illusory:



Wealth can vanish in an instant. "Your attitude towards your station in life is more important than the station itself."



Practical Steps:



Pray and fast for those suffering.



Use your wealth responsibly by supporting legitimate charities. Investigate to ensure your donations truly help the poor.



Local vs. Global Poverty:



You don't need to look far to find poverty. There are needy people within your own community.



Takeaway:



If God has blessed you with wealth, use it wisely and generously. Live simply, support worthy causes, and remember that our comfort is a grace meant to be shared, not hoarded. ✝️💙
