We are called by our baptism to be Christ's representatives in the world. We have been entrusted with the ministry Jesus first commissioned - to go and make disciples of all people. Making disciples of others demands that we first be disciples, and that takes a daily focus to prepare our hearts and our minds for this calling.
“The key question for Christians is this: 'Is wealth our servant or our master?’ Healthy and faithful Christians make use of wealth to accomplish great things for the sake of the Gospel. But wealth has a seductive power. Often without even realizing it, people become enslaved to their wealth – spending far more time on accumulating it and protecting it than on anything else.”
