Luke 6 - Poverty -v- riches: a gem from Joachim Jeremias COMMENT

Hi, William,

It is great with so much revolving or reflecting of illustrating

The only snack is with the PDF and, in fact, I photo the diagram, the picture.

We have the COMMENTS in tandem below,

and move the date line up.

You keep the wheels well soilfor us.

Thank you.

Yours ....

Donald.  

PS. Text as from the graphic;

    

THE LENSE OF THE EYE OF GOD
Treasure is not in the eye of the beholder but in the vision of God.
HEAVENLY
RICHES
ARROGANCE OF
RICHES
PROFESSION OF
POVERTY
For where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also [Matt 6:21]	INCIDENTAL
INHERENT	WEALTH
POVERTY
Wealth is incidental (occurring by chance in connection with certain life situations):-
Its possession creates a mystique of treasure in worldly minds, and an obsession created can take
possession of the human spirit. There are those who can balance this with opportunities for charity,
although it is a challenging crossbeam to navigate as the semblance of riches draws man to aspire to
the arrogance of riches. This can lead to greed for those who cannot attain it, like the unrepentant thief.
Poverty is inherent (existing in man as a permanent, essential, or characteristic attribute):-
It requires a knowing acceptance [else there will be rejection] if it is to open the way to receptivity
and become a professed proverty of charity for the love of God. It is only realized when it embraces
dependence upon the love of God, in true acknowledgement of its helplessness, for its treasure lies
in abandonment to the will of God, in a sense of its own unworthiness, like the good thief.

Dear Father Donald,

Humbly I submit a diagram to illustrate the drama in the life of man as he seeks to attain to the substance of true riches.

The kind comments given by Fr.R, and those added by yourself, have assisted me in trying to determine the direction of aspiration: the human spirit can find - through the grace of God - the way to its soul's fulfilment through poverty or riches, the realisation of its heavenly treasure. However, it can be found only by those who know their need of God, for it has everything do with faith in the Lord Jesus, for His Cross is the frame of the endeavour.

It would need a forum of greater minds than mine to adequately plot the chart of man's endeavour. Indeed, Our God alone is the architect of so great a design!

With my love in Our Lord,

William

William,

PS from Fr Raymond

At the end of the Mass this morning he said quote e of "Where you treasure is, your heart is" would illustrate could be from Theresa of Avila.

God addresses money frequently because He knows it’s what we treasure. How you treat your money says everything about your heart. Your heart follows your cash. Matthew 6:21 tells us, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Dear William,
Thank you for the well expressed,  " Luke 6 - Poverty -v- riches: a gem from Joachim Jeremias", spiraling mind on different point of focus.   
 Very exciting and here my addled brain is trying to sort out paradoxes or reverse.- mirror reflections. Is it possible to illustrate with a diagram?

Meanwhile , Fr. R. offers,
re . Escatological reversal of far times:
Ecclesiastics 20:9-10
"There may be good fortune for a person in adversity,
   but a windfall may result in a loss. 
There is the gift that profits you nothing,
   and the gift to be paid back double". 
Another "quote" which I cannot trace;
"There are those who are poor - yet possess all things
and those who think themselves rich - yet are destitute."

Looking forward.
Danielou also features for today's Feast of Exaltation of the Cross.
