In 1641, inspired by one of his friends, a woman named Madeleine Lamy, John Eudes founded a home for them at Caen. Eventually the women who ran it for him took the name of Sisters of Our Lady of Charity. This work, which seems clearly of immense value, was looked on askance by many at the time. Eventually he decided to resign as a Jesuit and found another order of priests, dedicated to improving the standards of the clergy themselves. His new foundation which he calle the Congregation of Jesus and Mary was attacked on all sides. John Eudes sent a trusted friend to Rome to try to obtain papal approval for his new plans. Twice opposition there led to a refusal. But John Eudes was used to taking blows, whether spiritual or physical, and tried again. This time he was successful. Throughout all this time John Eudes never ceased to preach powerfully, seeking especially those outside the churches. In his seventy-ninth year he preached in the open air every day for nine weeks. This in truth wore out the old saint, and he died of the exertions that same year.

5 "Jezus powiedział do niego:" Jeśli chcesz być doskonały, idź, sprzedaj, co posiadasz, i rozdaj ubogim, a będziesz miał skarb w niebie. Potem przyjdź i chodź za Mną. " Jesus said to him, If you wish to be perfect, go, and sell what you have and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me. What do our possessions provide for us? Do they satisfy our desire for happiness and security? Do possessions prevent us from giving ourselves whole-heartedly to God? Do we serve our possessions instead of serving the Lord? Possessions can t give us the kind of peace and happiness that we find in God. Jesus challenges our attachment to earthly possessions. Jesus challenges us to contemplate what our greatest treasure is truly. The thing we most set our heart on is our highest treasure. The Lord is accessible to all, the rich and the poor. Possessions cannot provide the lasting peace and happiness that the Lord can prove. No other treasure can compare with the Lord. This story has been on social media for a few years. Whether or not authentic, it spoke well to this week s reading. An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that whoever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all took each other s hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that, as one could have had all the fruits for himself, they said: UBUNTU: how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad? Co nam zapewniają dobra materialne? Czy spełniają nasze pragnienie szczęścia i bezpieczeństwa? Czy majątek może uniemożliwić oddanie siebie z całego serca Bogu? Czy zajmujemy się bardziej naszym dobytkiem zamiast służyć Panu? Czasami nasza nadzieja na szczęście zostaje zagubiona przez materializm. Jezus kwestionuje nasze przywiązanie do dóbr ziemskich. Wzywa nas do kontemplacji tego, co jest naprawdę naszym największym skarbem, a jest nim to, do czego przykładamy najwięcej serca. Pan jest dostępny dla wszystkich, bogatych i biednych. Majątek nie jest w stanie zapewnić nam trwałego pokoju i szczęścia, który Pan może zapewnić. Żaden inny skarb jest nieporównywalny z Jezusem. Poniższa historia jest znana w mediach już od kilku lat. Antropolog zaproponował dzieciom z afrykańskiego plemienia grę. Położył kosz pełen owoców w pobliżu drzewa i powiedział dzieciom, że kto tam pierwszy dobiegnie wygra słodkie owoce. Kiedy powiedział im, aby przygotowały się do biegu, dzieci złapały się za ręce i pobiegły razem, potem usiadły wspólnie ciesząc się nagrodą. Kiedy zapytał je, dlaczego pobiegły w ten sposób, odpowiedziały UBUNTU: jak tylko jedno z nas może być szczęśliwe, kiedy wszystkie inne dzieci są smutne? "UBUNTU" w kulturze Xhosa oznacza: "Jestem, bo jesteśmy." 'UBUNTU' in the Xhosa culture means: I am because we are. From: CatholicHomilies.com
