Having more does not automatically make life more secure or meaningful. When acquiring and protecting possessions take too much of our attention, we can lose sight of people, relationships, and other things that carry deeper value. Living with moderation helps us enjoy what we have without allowing possessions to determine what matters most to us.
Inspired by Chiara Lubich
Word of Life, July 1983
Prayer for a Balanced Life
God, keep us from placing too much importance on what we own. Give us the wisdom to use material things well without losing sight of the people and values that deserve more of our hearts. Amen.
A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away.
