19th Sunday, Year C

The Gospel reading follows last week’s Gospel about the rich fool who spent a lifetime preparing for this life with things that did not matter to God. There is a section of Luke’s gospel that is “skipped” (Luke 12:22-24) that tells the disciples that life is more than possessions, God will provide, so don’t be anxious about materials things. This gospel picks upon on that theme: God provides and your job is to be prepared – be you leader or follower – each has their role in the kingdom of God. And so faithfully fulfill what is yours to do for you do not know when the Master returns to the household.

Take a moment and consider this account that is far more than “simple.”  Do it from the comfort of your back porch.
